The last general meeting was in fact once again attended by the faithful fifty which now seems to have dwindled to a faithful forty-eight. or to be more precise. a faithful forty- eight and one half.

Efforts to get the membership out at general meetings have included the issuing of bulletins. the mailing of personal post- cards, the inducement of re- duced rates for refreshments, the aumrd of a spedal auend- ance prize â€"~ in fact everything has been tfied “nth the excep- tion of a personalized limousine service. It would be very good news indeed if we could report that at the last general meeting held in Legion Court four hundred faithful members turned out to see fifty new members installed. Fourteen new committees re- ported a waiting list of volun- teers to serve as auxiliary policemen to control the milling crowds expected for veteran's week; and five members of the executive were seriously injur- ed in the rush when the secret- ary announced he was giving away free copies of the minutes of the last meeting. ferent ideas by which we may combat the problem; and they will attend the general meeting to explain their individual ans- wers in detail.

The first of these events would take place during National Veteran's Week on Friday. June 16. Called “Down Easct Night" it will feature the Newmarket Legion Pipe Band and members from New Scotland. or Nova Scotia as it is more generally known. A letter from Legion Chap- ‘lain Rev. James O'Neil was read at the meeting. The chap- lain said he was planning a special service of thanksgiving at St. Mary's Anglican Church on June 18 at 10.30 am, and as this was at the end of veteran‘s week, thought it would be fit- ting if a church parade was held at that time. A subsequent mo- tion to hold a church parade on that date was carried. Mem- bers were also informed that a Legion district drumhead ser- vice was being held in Aurora on the same date. but in the afternoon. It was felt that memâ€" bers could attend the parade ‘and service in Richmond Hill tin the forenoon and proceed to Aurora in the afternoon. Comrade Gord Mills reported for Centennial Committee Chairman (Legion). Marsh Ton- ‘ner. who was absent due to the illness of his wife. Greet, who was recently discharged from York Central Hospital. Comrade Marsh said that it was the in- tention of the branch to hold a Centennial “Funday” in Rich- mond Hill.

A motion for the adjournment of zeneral meetings during the months of July and August was entertain- ed and was carried. The next general meeting will be held June 19. NEWMARKET: A four-day soft- ball toux'ney will he held in Newmarket June 30 to July 3 under the auspices of the New- market and East Gwillimbury Recreation Committee. A total of 40 teams is expected in the event, which is to be known as the East Gwillimbury-Newmar- ket Centennial Softball Tourna- ment. Members are reminded that at this event some lucky couple will be awarded a grand prize of a 21 day plane trip to Lon- don. England. And for the bene- fit of the Scots, the Irish and the French; Paris. Dublin and Glasgow are only stepping- stones away. Best wishes for the future are also extended to Auxiliary President Lucy Rickard and her family of automobile experts who recently emigrated from Richvale to Richmond Hill and presently occupy the Fina sta- tion at the corner of Harding and Yonge. There is no doubt that we will be seeing all of her happy entourage and many more, at the “Millionaires Night Dance" that is being held this Saturday night at Legion Court in aid of our deserving Legion Midget Hockey Team. Congratulations are extended to Comrade George “Pop” Brummell and his wife Minnie, of 55 Oak Avenue, Richvale, who recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in this our Centennial year. We extend to them the best wishes for the future and are glad to hear mat they have never look- ed back’since coming to Canada from Kent. England. in 1919. the diminutive Marsh has issued a peremptory challenge to the well-built and well-liked Wes Berseth of the local constabul- ary, and says that he can outdo the latter gentleman in a tug- of~war. As Parks are hard to come by during the summer months of Centennial year, the tentative date set for this hum- orous occasion is September 30. Volunteers to assist Marsh in his efforts to get the Legion's "Funday" off the ground are also proving very hard to get, and anyone wishing to give a little help to our short, but very well intentioned comrade should telephone him at 884-1882. IBoard Reserves Decision fParents Group Wants BA. Children [Instructed Oral French At Noon The parents’ group had first approached the board on Febru- ary 9 of this year. requesting suitable Space in Beverley Acres Public School between 12.40 and 1.25 pm daily for the teaching of Oral French. All arrange- ments. costs. etc. are to be borne by the parents. Mrs. S. Denning was spokesman. The group‘s presentation end- ed, “We would point out that. if permission is not given for these classes to be held in our school, during the lunch period. the school board will be depriv- ing many children of the oppor- tunity of learning French at an age at which their parents feel they would best learn it and also. in the long term view, could be perpetuating the short~ age of French teachers for fu- ture generations.” Board members pointed out that if successful this year, in future years the program could call for as many as seven rooms, one for each grade in the kjn~ dergarten to grade 6 junior school. "I don‘t really think that the in the Beverley Acres Oral French (North 3 group should be granted any- tion) dur thing that we are not prepared the pas1 to grant to any other group in school se the town.” Chairman Walter saying ti Hutchinson told seven members no prob] of that group at the May 15 HoweVer‘ meeting of Richmond Hill Pub- Wortman lic School Board. in contac However. it. was pointed out that the board‘s policy did not permit the use of any classroom until 4.15 each school day. so that the teaching program will not be interrupted. It was also noted that teachers must have access to their classrooms dur- ing the school day â€" that the noon hour is often needed to prepare blackboards and les~ sons for the afternoon classes. The delegation claimed they wished the use of a room in the school which is not used as a classroom. However, it was pointed out that although this room was formerly used as an office and never as a classroom, it is now being used by the diagnostic and remedial teacher for those children with a read ing problem. It is also a re- source centre for the school. “The list of students needing the services of this teacher is quite extensive."

NEWMARKET: Newmarket Pol- ice have laid 20 charges for committing minor traffic of- fences and a charge of assault- ing a police officer following a couple of episodes involving teenagers last week. The first occurred at Newmarket Plaza. where about 100 cars of youths gathered. Charges laid there were mostly for noisy mufflers and lack of lights. The assault ltook place at Sutton when Con- ‘stable LaVerne Hodgson was thrown to the ground and stamped on when he tried to arrest David Booth of Newmar- ket during a shouting match between Keswick and Newmar- ket youths. However. Trustee Charles Wortman reported he had been in contact with the principal of that school, who agreed the pro- gram has been successful. but noted that although classes are held daily. each child receives only one lesson a week.
