. . Public notary, trouble- lhooler. mind-reader, and a pre- sident of a Legion branch”. These were some of the words used to describe Comrade Frank Barrott when he was awarded the Legion’s Meritorious Ser- vice Medal at the recent Honors and Awards Dinner held at Legion Court. Provincial Vice-President Don her Wilson, who presented the ion award, said the duties required dle of a branch president are num- erous. and the duties carried outl F by President Barrott had not‘Wil only been numerous, but they his could only be equalled “if six and branch presidents were to be ma rolled into one." mei After the presentation and a standing ovation, Comrade Bar- rott said that the Legion was his hobby. Although people liked to get in a few digs at him at times, he welcomed and enjoyed them. Of the medal he said, “Every one of you should wear this with me." Frank became president of Branch 375 in December, 1961, when it was headquartered on Carrville Road, Richvale, and the membership totalled 27. Through his efforts the branch was relocated in Richmond Hill, and by 1965 the membership had increased to almost 500. In 1967 he is still "the prez", and the citation they read out on Honors and Awards night concerning all of his achievements was re- corded in two pages of type- written script â€" single spaced. Perhaps it might be meritori- ous to mention here that this man, elected to be a leader. has done exactly that, and led.

He warn- ed that it was easy for a suc- cessful branch to sink into com. placency. and advised that Leg- ion branches must always at- tempt to provide the community with service, “at least equal to the value of dues received from Legion members in the com- munity." Provincial Service Officer Claire Wall spoke on govern- ment legislation for needy vet- erans and said that the support of Legion branches was still necessary in order to maintain a decent standard of living for some of our pensioners. At no time had Branch 375 let him down, he said. Councillor Lois Hancey stated that she was a politician who loathed giving speeches and she conveyed the regrets of Mayor Tom Broadhurst who was unable to be present that evening. On the award to President Barrott she said that there were some who didn‘t particularly care for the man. but that they liked his Avork. “I'm different." she said. “I like him." Legion Chaplain James O’Neil said that it was very dangerous to put the parson at the. end. He spoke on subjects which had been raised in rhetoric by pre- ceding incumbents and effec- tively, ‘sank the Iot‘. as the fig- urative expression goes. On the subject of presidents he said, “you just have to talk to Frank Barrett, and buzzers are buzzing. flags are flying, and somehow everything gets done when somebody is in trouble." The Honors and Awards Din- ner wouldnot have been com- plete without the members of the ladies auxiliary. President Lucy Rickard and her loyal pro- viders of roast beef and immacu-‘ late service received a standing ovation. Her hard-working en- tourage included: Edith Titshall, Doris Clark. Marie Finnerty, Frances Beaulieu, Greet Tonner, Dorothy Bradley, Rose Don- nolly. Jean Bird, Hilda Jones (dressed in all her finery), Gloria Sanford (spud peeler elect}, and honorary auxiliary members Arthur Rickard and Mike Finnerty, who can roll up their sleeves and wash dishes with the best of them. 884-8021 FLUORIDE' TOOTHPASIE; f ’ King Township's road mill‘ rate will be approximately 'che same this year as it was in 1966 (13.79 mills).

He said the educational course in grade nine and 10 had been “upgraded” due to the efforts of former Thorn- hill Secondary School Princi- pal, Stanley Elson, who had joined the Concord staff after retiring from Thornhill. “I wasn’t too enthusiastic," Major MacCorquodale said. I didn't think a straight aca- demic course would go over. but Mr. Elson was persua- sive.” Albert Washington, of Graven- hurst, a pasenger in the truck, was critically injured in the ac- cident. Responsibility for conditions at the crossing was denied by both the CNR and M.G. Slater lumber yard,'whose premises are served by the road. ‘6' As a result, the course had since dislodged the service stacion attendant one as the top course. The major paid tribute to his staff of 30 and to the vari- ous agencies, organizations and government bodies that had assisted in the work of the House, both financially and otherwise. Among these were the De- partments of Welfare and Ed- ucation, Probation Services. Rotary Club and the York Central District High School Board.
