As a result of the elections the following members will com~ prise the officers and executive of Branch 375 in 1967 â€"â€" 68: Conrade George Wood, immedi- ate past president; Comrade John 'l‘sinonis, lst vice-presi- dent; Comrade Rick Pillage, 2nd vice~president; Comrade Doug Clarke, 3rd vice-president and Comrades Douz Hopson, Charlie Hawkes. Bob Dickson, Leo Par- ker. Jack Sanders and Eric Chapman. Comrades Bill Mitch- el] and Earl Freeland were also elected to be auditors in 1967. Readers may recall that sev- eral weeks ago this column re- ported that President Frank Barrett would not seek re-elec- tion to a further term of office. One would suppose from the results of the recent elections that either your reporter exer- cised a wrong assumption, or the president exercised his demo- cratic prerogative by changing his mind. Whatever the reason. Comrade Barrott was in fact nominated again for the office and was again elected for a further term of two years at the largest. liveliest and last mem~ bershlp meeting of 1966. Of the eleven executive offi- cers named. it is interesting to note that six of them will be enjoying elected office for the first time. although some have 2573 1-muuluullmnuullummmnumtuummmmummIumuuImullmm!mmumuuuuummnuunmu“mummunmunmtmmlulmmxmmnwunmmmlmummmuuznuuIum“mmmImuuumnmunmuuumnummunmmunmmmuInruuuIuImmumuuumnm’P a.um\\1mmmmmummmmumuummmu“\mmumnu\umuuumummnummmmummmm1.muuumuu\uuuummummmmummu\1ll111muumuummummmunlnumuuuummmuumuunn\mmlnllixmumumuuumuuummuuumuuumnuummmu 4‘ School children in the township will study local his- tory and geography in the century-old building in a Centennial education pro- gram. The school, located in the northwest corner of the township, had served town- ship school children for 100 years until this year when the board rang its death knell along with a number of other similar structures.

The Children's Christmas Party was also well attended by parents with a long reach who managed to dislodge the hun- dreds of colored balloons from the ceiling of the banquet hall for the sole purpose of being exploded by 294 intrepid young- sters alongside the ears of pat- ient Legionnaires who had not previously been deaf. Manning the defences against the youthful onslaught were Clowns Harold Hall (the meat- man, not the oil-man); Steve Guttormson, Bill Houting, Billy Brown (from Glasgow town), Bob Kyle, Don Kelly (the mop- haired young lady who insisted ‘on dancing with Norm, the wine- maker) and Edith Titshall who successfully managed to change into three different clown cosâ€" tumes within the space of two hours.
