fair sized column for our readers and more important lots of news but before we get to the news part we would like to deal rather person ally with something concerning this column i egion notes had their in ccption during the war with farmer herald staffer joe boley writing it upon the present writer s return lo the herald in the winter of 45 he was asked by the president of that time and tht executive to write it as om boh had left town for another job in the ensuing years each presi dent ind their executive have been most anxious to see the notes umtimie and have asked him to carry on a numher of years ago the writer was honoured by being chosen president of your branch and at that time the annual custom of asking him to carry on with the column at the annual mee tirtg was dispensed with as it was felt superflous as he was in the newts paptr business and the logical person to do the job as well as liking it since then the column has expanded considerably and we believe we can point with pardonable pride to a num ber of achievements directly as a res ult of the publicity from this column it is also true that certainly with an organization of almost 400 we have the largest reader audience of any organization in town and thereby as the town s biggest organization there is more interest in our news than in many other news stories the column has also it is felt kept the public in formed as to trend of thought of the service men in the town and has in general formed a good liason with the rest of the community therefore it comes as quite a shock to hear that a recent commit tee meeting a member brought up the subject as to whether the le mon column was good for the branch or not he felt that publicity might bo i bad thing for an organization wt surest that as 99 of the le gion look forward to siting the col unin md arc most dis ippotnted when i it missis a week that he is a very wee minority we also suggest that in this day of large companies paing fintislies
