Single Copy be, Port Perry L On Friday. evening, March 12, the _mémbers of Canadian Legion Branch 419, Port Perry attended a zone rally C Uxbridge's new legion hall. It is a great credit to the Uxbridge Tegion to think that they were u group who even after being burnt out a year ago were able to put their 'Shoulder's to the wheel and in six months had a place to meet once more -and in less than a year fully complete and a credit to the community. The building is of cement block . construction having a full basement ® which is used for recreation, offices, == washrooms, etc., while: upstairs their 0 . - __A LN ~¥ = is a beautiful auditorium for meet- ings, concerts and many other activi- ties. : At the rally the other night there were about 200 Legionnaires and a few _ more could have been accommodated. Zone Commander Stan Dunne took charge of the meeting and many items of business were handled speedily and efficiently. ' Stan- called on Uxbridge Fresident Art Staley to introduce the speaker of the evening and after giving a short word of welcome to the visiting clubs he presented Herbert Angus Mowat, "United Nations Observer, who brought interesting and informative informa- tion to the members of the activities "at U. N. meetings. It was his belief that aftér attend- ing these meetings that no Nation Fo Logon Tab burt ~ Zone Rally in Uxbridge ~The meeting was brought to a close i could afford not to attend, for the penalties of being absent ere far too | great. It is this reason that brings Russia back after leaving in a huff over some matter they could not get there own way on, ' He also felt that if there ever was another World war; to WIN would be to Lose, for there would be little left to call the spoils of war. Therefore it is International con- cern, the matter of world peace and the United Nations can be the force through which World Government will come into being. Reg. Moorehead, Dist. Deputy Zone Commander thanked the speaker for his inspiring address and said it was unfortunate that the papers did not report the U. N. activities by glving such information to the public. Pres. Art Staley asked the Pres. of the visiting clubs for a report on the. number of members who came with them and in each case the Pres. congratulated the Urbridge branch on the splendid hall. : and the colours retired after which the stage was prepared for entertain- ment which consisted of singers, tap dancers, balette and comic. Uxbridge Legionaires are to be commended on the fine meeting and entertainment they provided and without a doubt everyone enjoyed. it. \ - Star Free Concert On Thursday evening, a large crowd attended the Star Free Concert in the United.

The trip was made by two School buses full of Pupils, accompanied by Mrs. Venning, Miss Chant and Mrs. Lorne Thompson. In all they entered four classes, each singing two songs, and in every one they scored above 80 marks, which was very commendable for their first effort in such a competition. Their Music Supervisor, Mr. Gay, feels especially proud of the fact that the Junior Choir, selected from Grades 1,2 and 8 was awarded 832 marks, winning First Place over entries Trom Peterborough and Port Hope Schools. The Adjudicator found little for criticism in their performance and praised their tone and the Spontancity of their singing. 7 The Junior Rhythm Band from Cae- sarea School also took First. place, with 811% marks, and looked smart with their green capes and pill-box hats. SIFTERS An Intermediate Choir from Grades 4, 5, and 6 placed third with 81 marks, while a Girls Chorus, chosen from Grades 4 to 8 came second. with 82 marks. Earlier in the week seyeral Voca- lists from-the Schools entered in vari- ous solo classes at the Festival and though some were successful in win- ning top Honours in his or her class, they will have. an incentive to work. harder next year. In fact now they know what is expected of them, we hope that all our School Choirs will improve on their performances and bring home a larger shire of top a- wards to Cartwright.

The meeting was. opened by Anson Gerrow presi- dent of the South Ontario County Fe- deration of Agriculture. Mr. Gerrow pointed out to the gathering many of the accomplishments of the Federa- tion 'of Agriculture at provincial level and how these accomplishments had meant 'improved conditions for the farmers in Ontario county. The Hog Selling Agency which has proven to farmers all over the country what pro- ducer marketing can do was men- tioned, the Medical Co-operative, the Auto Insurance Co-op; the control programmes for Bang's Disease and Warble Fly were just a few of the ad- vantages available because we have a strong provincial organization. Mrs. Hamer, who has been appoint- ed to do fieldwork in the county out- lined her work, pointing out the fact that the Federation 'is ready to go immediately into any project which the folks in Reach wanted to bring up, Already the Federation is investigat- ing the idea of a farmers' market in Oshawa and it is up to farmers to do some thinking and planning along this line so that if the idea is adopted a continuous flow of quality produce will be available. This idea was horn in Reach -Township. ~ Medical Co-op groups were popular and four new groups are reported-under way since Mrs, Hamer began calling -on the township farmers. : It was pointed out that the Oshawa Unions had invited the County Federa- tion to meet with them to conider mu- tual problems and more meetings will follow. ia Maan A representative from Reach town- ship will join the County executive when they meet Mr. Thomas on Mon- day evening in regard to the dairy legislation now before the government. Mr. Milligan past president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture ad- dressed the meeting telling the far. mers how they could benefit by a strong township federation. He urged the formation of groups because the government depends on the people or- ganizing in order that they might consolidate their needs and present them effectively 'for -consideration. A strong township group, active in its own interests strenghens the workingd of the overall organization. The election of directors according to school sections was as follows: Shirley---Sandy-Moore ; Netledar Creek---Edward Oyler Prospect-~Claire Vernon Chalk Lake--Earl Parrot Utica--Bob Walker : Manchester---Lorne Thompson Prince Albert---Earl Martyn Yellow School--Lawson Honey Epsom--Elmer Wilson Bethesda--Larry Doble Bethel--Mr, Clements Greenbank--Norman Smith Marsh Hill---Ernest Till Union School, Victoria Corners' -- Bruce, Acton Saintfield--Hugh Baird Seagrave---Roy Scott "Union School at Brock-- Gordon z Caldwell A meeting. will be ealled shortly at which the directors will elect an exe- cutive to carry on the work of a fully organized township group. It has been interesting to read the minutes of previous meetings which organized a Farm Bureau in Reach and then a Federation of Agriculture later. It all shows that the Reach Town- ship farmers are very conscious of the advantages of organization. One of the things which this group will very likely tackle in the fall of the year will be the Brucellosis Control and it was interesting to find farmers un- duly -alarmed concerning the cost to the township for this Calfhood Vacei- nation. To anyone concerned the eost of inspecting the calves is born by the Department of Agriculture who pays twenty cents per calf to the council for' inspection, ~ After a 25 per cent. Increase in Membership Along with all other branches of the Canadian Legion in District F1, the Canadian Legion is organizing for an all-out membership campaign to be held throughout the présént year. The_ immediate objective is a member- ship increase of at least 26 per cent, and in addition, the Port Perry Branch is also aiming to_play its part in the effort of District F1 to win one of the awards of $5600.00 offered to the District 'in the Ontario - Command which achieves the greatesf percent- age increase in membership in 19564, and the District which has the great- est actual gain in membership, * To win the award, the District must show an over-all increase of 256 per cent over its membership at December 31, 1964. : 'According to Comrade Jim Cox, Pre- sident of the Port Perry Branch of the Legion, a strong committee is being appeinted to conduct the campaign locally, and to present to all veterans now members of the advantages of joining with this na- tional organization of service men and service women, Special functions will be held to which all non-Legion ve- '| terans will be invited so that they may . become familiar with Legion aimg, objectives and activities. Com- .|.rade Leonard Colbear Jr. has been named as chairman of the Port Perry Branch Membership Committee which will be in charge of the campaign.

Fisher became the Flyers Over- Time man of the hour as he seemed to be in the right place at two right times. He was assisted first by At- tersly & O'Conner and second by Chaszeweski.
