Warm sunshine. a tranquil Sunday afternoon and a garden resplendent with colorful flowâ€" ers provided the background for a party held recently at the May Ave, home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tilshall. The ladies‘ auxiliary was out in force at the event aimed to boost auxil- Iary funds. and we are inform- ed a few husbands sneaked in unobserved on this affair. pri- marily held for ladies. Tea. coffee. cookies and chit chat were available to all. At croquet play-off time. Inev Greenfield. Audrey Apperly and Margaretha 'l‘onner emerged winners and received prizes consisting of vegetable produce grown in the 'l‘itshall garden. Bouquets of flowers were a- warded lo Audrey 'l‘utton and Lucy Rickard. The garden gate prize. a neatly embroidered ta- blecloth made by Edith Titshall was won by lsobel Bonner. President Lucy said it was good to see that several members who hadn't been well for some time were present. and the ear- den party proved very success- ful. The auxiliary‘s 2nd Vice- Preaident. Edith Titshall. is al- so a fervent flower grower. well known among local horticult- urists. All. times of horticult- ural competition she is the en- vy of many and has yet to walk away without winning a prize. Two years ago she won the Ea- ton Silver Trophy for her ef- torts. She may also he remembered by some of the older members in the community as a legion lady who has sold poppies on every November 11 since she has resided here. This too when here were no paved roads. suh- divisions. nor automobiles to any great extent: but only tracks on which she trudged through the snow from farm- house to farmhouse. She was known then as “the little lady of the flower". and she still re- mains an ardent and successful lady where flnwers and the sig- nificant poppy is concerned.

They are George Wood. and a newly appointed officer. Frank Bar- rott. who was recently named district public speaking and citizen chairman. Comrade Wood said that only two zones in the district had ever taken part in the Legion's public speaking contests. District Bursary Officer George Wood reported that all applications for bursaries had been processed and now await- ed final approval by district ex- ecutive. The names of the five students to be awarded bursar- ies will be announced shortly. An announcement of award winners from our own branch scholarship fund, which is sep- arate from district, will also be made in the near future.
