Before the runners get here from the Arctic Cold, there is a very pleasant duty that your reporter must perform. The members of the color-guard for Branch 375 wish to thank all those who worked so hard to make their Millionaires Night such a success. To those who attended and had a wee ball 3“!er hearty vote of thanks for aiding such a worthy cause. Another vote of thanks must go to color-guard members from the lady vets for their donation toward the Legion Children‘s Christmas Party this coming Sunday, December 12.

A regular night of social pleas- ure with this little added ox- cltement. How about coming out and joining in the fun.’ Friday night. December 24 there will be no activities at the Legion. We know that there will be so many last minute chores for everyone to do. Be- sides the wee tads will be tryâ€" ing hard to stay awake so that they may see Santa. December 31 comes the New‘ Year’s Eve Hop. Come on out and bring in the New Year with old comrades and new friends.

Euchre. cribbage, shuffleboard and darts are the order of the night. Leaving about 1930 hours. we sure are hoping to do some winning. Still licking our wounds from the defeat given us by members of 426 Neâ€"wmarket. Do hear that we have won both shuffle- board games anyway. \V pop! Friday evening. December 3‘ was a smash. The attendance} was down. The weather was ugh but. it sure wasn't mise1’-‘ able inside. That scintillating duo â€" George Cowie and Ken Birch ~â€"- provided the dance music that keeps you on the dance floor. Some special guests were three members of the Pipe Band of 426. They had come down to give us a tune or two with the pipes and drums. Children’s Christmas Party Dec. 1 The pipers were in short de-‘ mand so George Smart (weren‘tj you supposed to be somewhere' George?) Ernie Tolsch (welcome back Ernie) and smiling Don! Vinam entertained us all an other way. It is amazing how versatile these pipe band mem-i bers are. George rendered us a tune “How can you buy Kil-j arney?" and admirably done" too. Then on came Donnie \vithl his favourite "My Nova Scotial Home" and the “Squid Gigging7 Ground". Do hear that he is‘I darn good on the guitar too. Ernie just couldn't be persuad-: ed to get up and sing (he was sure doing okay in the aud- ience). He is rather shy. But when he got up to accompany Ken (he sang my brother Syl- vester) on the drums. then he was right in his element. Darn good show fellowspCome again sometime. There was a different set up: this Friday evening. Tables were arranged in a semi-circle and we all joined in the won- derful singalong. Good dancing too. How about our own Roy Cook. What a beautiful voice he has. Special welcome back to our mm Nell Spence. Nell has been under the weather lately but sure didn’t show it when she sang for us the other night. Our mystery winner of theevening was Roy Cook. Big winner of the night was Ter- rence Elliott of King City. He‘ won the monthly 50/50 drawn George Diceman sold the win? ning ticket. Congratulations to all winners and a big “thankL you to all who attended and shared our wonderful evening of fun. Special thanks to Ken Birch and George Cowie for your usual fine entertainment. And We are not forgetting George. Donnie and Ernie. Thank you one and all. One wonders sometimes just where all the talent comes from. when it shows up so unexpect-j edly at some of our social nights. Didn‘t know that our Gord Kettridge (got your name right this time Gord) could sing but he sure gave us a good show last Friday.

Four schools were sold earlier at tender â€" Pine Orchard. Shrubmount. |Udora and Mount Pleasant. Still unsold are schools at Pefferlaw, Vandorf. Ringwood and Lemonville.
