@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, November 10, 1962 ANN LANDERS ANNUAL REVIEW OF WOMEN'S ACTIVITIES (Continued From Supplement) Loyalty to Sovereign and Empire Pledge of Canadian Legion Aux. When the Great War Veterans Association disbanded in 1927 the Canadian Legion Branch 43 of the British Empire League was formed, the Ladies' Aux- iliary receiving their Charter in July. With a membership of about 20, the first president was Mrs. H. Gay of Oshawa, under the presidency of Mrs. F. Mc- Evers. The Auxiliary in 1962 has a membership of 229, The first meetings were held in a room over what is now the A and P store. Then the group moved to quarters over the old market place. Older members: get many a laugh out of recalling those meetings in the "old dug-out"' with its. creaking, uncertain floors and rickety chairs, but they had happy times holding bazaars and social evenings. They even organized a Minstrel Show which ran for three years and assisted the funds a great deal. In 1933 the building of the new Legion Hall got underway. Many Legionnaires were laid off work and they undertook tojin OCVI, OCCI, Donevan andjtee members build a new hall on Centrejthe new R. S. McLaughlin high) g 4 Street. A faithful band of cooks|schools here in Oshawa as well); from the auxiliary prepared meals for sixty men or more every day, fetching their own cups, plates and cutlery and supplies and cleaning up after- wards. It was the auxiliary that bought the first furniture for ices. Later they operated inde- pendently purchasing $100 worth of yarn per month, which the women knitted into socks, scarves and helmets. They fostered the whole crew of a minesweeper the -HMS Gloria out of West Hartpool, and as well as mufflers, long stock- ings and the usual seamen's equipment, they made and sent a leather jacket for every man aboard. In peacetime the auxiliary de- votes itself to the affairs of vet- erans and their families, to shut-ins in. Sunnybrook Hospital and Westminster Hospital, Lon- don, and families in distress. The 'auxiliary has in the 'past year donated over $1,000 in charitable donations to the Can- cer Fund, Sick Children's Hos- pital, Minor Hockey and to the Eve. Branch Studies 'Light of World' The Evening Branch of the Woman's Auxiliary of St. George's Memorial Church, Oshawa, meets on the first and third Thursday of each month, under the leadership of the president, Mrs. David Hutcheon; The group projects are wor- ship and missionary endeavor. The Study Book just complet- ed "'Jesus Christ the Light of the World" has been conducted by Mrs, Gertrude Penman, The Dorcas work under the leadership of Mrs. Robert Clay- ton has~ packed bales which were sent to the Diocesan Cen- tre for further distribution. Contact was made. with the infant members of the congre- gation by the Little Helpers' Party, membership cards and birthday cards. This important enterprise was in charge of jmen to assist in the children's jpicnic and Christmas tree. | | Our annual trip to Sunnybrook) ito distribute 400 bags of cigar-| jets, gum and mints was held in) September. | We also sponsor scholarships! as donating to the Legion Pro- vincial Bursary fund. Surely no women's organiza- |tion in Oshawa has carried |more trays, carted more crock- ery and transported more food' supplies than the Legion Aux- iliary in its 35 years, | Mrs. J. R. Grieve. Funds for these projects were raised by. catering to weddings and dinners, May Day Sale and Tea, co-operating with the Af- ternoon Branch and Junior Aux- iliary. This year three commit-| Mrs. Robert regor and Mrs. Stephen Wot-| on undertook a project' known) as "'No Bake Recipe Books". 750} of these books have been sold to} Contributions within the year were given to the following: An- glican Women's training Col- lege, Humewood House, Strach- an House, Ingles House, Down- UNITS, GROUPS AND AUXILIARIES Try Alarm Clock Cure Dear Ann Landers: Please don't pass over this problem as trivial. I need help. My boy friend and I are both 17. The trouble centers around the telephone. Seymour calls me every afternoon after school. We talk about an hour, Sometimes I want to get off because I have! other things to do or someone: else wants the phone, but Sey- mour insists on staying on, When.I ask him to please hang off he becomes annoyed and keeps. right on talking. The other evening I lost my temper when he refused to say goodbye. I shrieked, "If you have nothing to say why do you insist on tying up the line for hours?" He hung up on me. Five minutes later he called back and I hung up on him. Seymour is a perfect gentle- man in every other way. How can I solve this telephone prob- lem?--Busy Signal Dear Signal: Seymour has black card fever, for which there is no known cure. If I were you I'd say, 'Look, Seymour, fron now on you've got a 15 minute telephone deadline, If you can't meet it, don't call." Put an alarm clock by the telephone jand set it. When the bell gues) off--you go, too. Dear Ann Landers: am 34, no kid, and at the moment | am torn to pieces trying to decide between my parents and the man I love. Rebekah Lodge 3 St. George's WA |For Telephone Driveler | | When I was 18 I made a bad marriage. I stuck it out for ten years for the children's sake--| hoping I could make it work, but it was impossible. I've been divorced almost five years and I want to remarry. The man is 38 and wonderful. He gets along well with my chil- dren and is eager to be a father! to them. But my parents will not even meet the man because he has lived half of his life in another country. They say no one from that country can be any good. I hate to go against my*par- ents as they have been very generous to me and the chil- dren. I don't know what | wouid have done without them. Is there any word of help you can give me?--Torn Betwren Dear Torn Between: Unless your parents can come up with a better reason, my advice 1s 'to go ahead and marry the man, It's unfair of your folks to| pass judgment on a_ person they've never met. Every man has the right to be judged on jthe basis of his own: merit as le an individual. Obviously they are prejudiced against him be- cause of his nationality. Don't allow your feelings of gratitude to blur your thinking.
