In the 14th Biennial Report of the Ontario Provincial Command, it is interesting to note the} in the Province of Ontario there were only 26 Legion Honours granted. Of the 26, two of these honours came to Winona. There was only one life membership in the Proâ€" vince, and it went to Capt, Fred .. . .Woodeock of Winona, ~â€"â€" â€"â€"â€" â€" ‘The presentation of this award took place in Winona Hall, when the Winons Branch officially welâ€" comed home FO. Reekie, DF.C. and Pte. Jack Somerville. In the Province there were 15 Honourary Officer Badges awardâ€" ed. One of these came to Howard Barnard, past President of Winona Branch. Howard certainly earned this reward for his untiring «fâ€" forts for the promotion of Legion work. Both of these presentations were made by Harvey Walker, ; And now our little Branch in the hamlet are trying to keep even with Grimsby, and are planning on building a hall, or a nome for themselves. True, the plans aren‘t. as pretentious as Grimaby‘s, but on -n““nnw‘ as big an undertaking. The Winona Branch hiv taken which will help along their comâ€" munity. Among tentative prospects which are mirrored in their crystal baill, are a Boys Brass Band, a Smail Bore Rifle lub, and a Lawn Bow\lâ€" ing club, the latter is for the boys who are, or will be, suffering from Branch have started now to take over the affairs of the Branch, and the first step in this was made last week, when the Ways and Means Committese was elected, It is comâ€" posed of three members from this war.

We find that the lake beyond the 20 foot depth is about the same grade. But from the 20 foot depth to the shore, about 1500 feet, the slope is too great to be stable. And some means must be employed to arrest the further encroachment on the shore. The best method is to enlist the forces of natâ€" ure. At the mouth of each creek along the south shore a sand bar has been built by waves and curâ€" rent carrying sand and gravel. When the current or waves strike this body of confined water it loses its forward movement and deposits the solids. ‘The construction of similar confined water cushâ€" lons will get the same result. This is shown by the construction of three groynes at the rifle range at the west end of the township where groynes 40 feet jong. were â€"built. Atâ€" the timeâ€"of ”-tho water was 10 feet deep at the outer end now the shore has been raised two feet, the beach widâ€" ened 20 feet, and the water at the end of the groyâ€" nes has been reduced to about four feet deep. ‘The breaking of a wave releases a great «i ~ount of energy and forces a heavy mass of water against the cliff causing erosion. The building of groynes cause the wave to break on the bar at the outer end of the groynes and so the energy is taken up by the cushion of water and does not reach the cliff; so erosion is ‘The Reeve and Council, luwfinmmfi7“& neers, appointed make a survey North Grimsby shore line, with regards to lake erosâ€" ion and measures that could be taken to prevent YOL.
