Branch 375, By Eric Chapman The last executive meeting of 1964 was held on December 7. Frank Barrett thanked mem- bers of the executive for their work in assisting him to carry out the duties of president. He‘ offered particular thanks to‘ Comrades Jack Sanders and Frank Titshall whom he desâ€" cribed as two stalwarts of the branch. Comrade Titshall said he believed he spoke for all the members in congratulating the president for the excellent way he has carried out his duties. He hoped Frank would be. re- turned next year to continue his successful work. Past Pre- sident George Wood moved that Comrades Jack Sanders and Vic Bridges be nominated for life membership and commented on the meritorious service they had rendered the Legion. The mo- tion in favor of Sanders’ nomi- nation was unanimously accept- ed. While all present concurred that Comrade Bridges deserved nomination, it was pointed out that general by-laws required a minimum of ten years' member- ship, which Vic has not yet at- tained. There are presently three Comrades holding life membership. They are Stanley. Woods, Albert (Pop) Jarvis and‘ George Brummell. Comrade Sanders reminded the execu- tive that the 20th anniversary of the branch will fall in Nov- ember of next year. No doubt celebrations will be in order. Jack and Comrade Titshall have been members since the branch was organized. n: a 1r a At the Junior Legion meeting held on December 9 members debated the topical issue of long hair. Present at the Legion Court was School Attendance Officer David Porter. The dis- cussion began on a humorous note with Mr. Porter nominat- ing Frank Barrott as honorary president of the Richmond Hill Short Haired Society. The sen- ior advisory committee invited junior members, many of whom are students, to express their views on subjects pertaining to teenagers. Most Junior Legion- naires felt the matter of per- sonal appearance should be left to the discretion of the indi- vidual.

We state the date for members with an eye for precision smoothness. Last year the advent of the New Year was celebrated by a record crowd and therefore tickets are avail- able to members only. We ask‘ our members to read the notices appearing in the club room concerning the holiday season and accident statistics in Ont- ario. We would remind all mem- bers and patrons that the safest belt is the one you don’t take for the road. Those who feel they may over indulge at this time of year are reminded that if you do not drive to Legion Court you won't have to drive home again. Hosted At Legion Christmas Party The explosions reverberating through Richmond Hill last Sunday were caused by 375 youngsters blowing up balloons at the Royal Canadian Legion Christmas party held at the Legion Court. All available resources of the branch were mustered to sup- ply the needs of the record number in attendance. Refresh- ments were prepared by the Legion ladies’ auxiliary and their distribution was precar- iously carried out by branch members and members of the recently formed junior Legion. Most of the parents retired to the club room where they were entertained by popular pianist Harry Mellis and were served with coffee. Santa Claus, represented by Rick Pillage. was appreciatively welcomed and each child re- ceived a gift and a bag of fruit agreed but pointed out that certain characteristics have be- come symbolic of rival groups. In situations where discipline was mandatory for a successful operation the friction between rival groups was undesirable. President Frank Barrett cit- ed a recent example of symbol- ism of rival groups in England known as the "Mods" and ‘-‘Rockers". He said the unfor- nate teachers and police, were and candies. Two clowns, Jimmy Boyne and Al Savage were on hand to enliven the activities and a tramp bearing a remarkable re- semblance to “Freddy the free- loader" was present in the per- son of Bill Tucker.
