To the members of the Montague Branch No. 8 Canadian Legion B. E. S. L.

Dear Comradesz-Another mile- stone has been passed in the his- tory of the Montague Branch of the Canadian Legion and it is only fitting that before handing over to my successor in office that I should give an account of the wtrk oi the Branch during the past year.

This is the second annual meet- ing of this, Branch and I feel that ‘we can look back over our activities for the past year with a, certain amount of pride. due to what wc have accomplished and to the standing of our Branch with the P. E. Island Command.

At our last annual meeting we showed a membership of 68 and today wc have 81, an increase of iii. which is a good showing under ]')l.3\‘(‘llt, conditions, and the report of the Rrretory Treasurer will show that we arc also in a healthy condition financially in spite of the

fact that a number o! our members ham been unable to kccp their dues paid upin date.

Iu Blanch your President had the pleasure 6nd honor of‘ representini,’ tins Branch, as well as Souris and ‘Eldon. at the Dominion Convention held in Ollilwll, and I trust that tho lfilfllllliillflll. knowlcdgc and ex- peiirncc in ‘union matters which was derived will be of considerable ‘herrcfit not only to myself but t3 this Branch as o xvhole.

Enrlvin the year we decided to assist financially in the organizing of a. band and voted $25.00 for this Purpose, with the result that we now have a. good band in Montague, lmown as the Montague Legion Band.

During the winter months orders

on local merchants f0: groceries vipre given to those in need of SB-mfl 1mm the amount raised by tug-of-war contests last year, and at the Christmas season thLs year twenty-five baskets of groceries, etc., were distributed to our mem- ers. An ice cream and strawberry fastival was held during the sum- mer. in conjunction with the Wom- ens‘ Institute, for the purpose of raising funds.

The sale of poppies and. wreaths was carried out as usual by our members and a. considerable sum realized.

Owing to Remembrance Day fall- ing on Sunday. our Remembrance Day services were carried out in the afternoon and consisted of a short service at the rink, the speak- or being Rev. M2". McNevin from Georgetown. After the service the Legion members paraded with thc band to the school where wreaths vlcre plamd by the lngion and citizens. We then paraded to th" United Church where services were carried out. the speaker lring Rev. Mr. Armstrong, the collection taken at this service being tinned over to the King's County Hospital.

After church we returned to the school whore the Montoguc Wom- ens Institute scrvied us with a de- licious lunch.

One of our major activities was the sponsoring of the tug-of-war contests again this year, and as usual these contests were most suc- cessful and wen". a source of con- siderable financial assistance to ourselves and the band. and will enable us to carry out some relief work during the winter months.

The Band were so pleased with their share of the profits that they immediately made us a donation of $25.00 which was the amount we gave them earlier in the year to enable them to purchase music, in- struments, etc. Our efforts along thcsc lines hav." been amply re- warded as we have now been reim- bursed the amount which we ad-I vanced them and at the same time have a good band in the com- munity. which I am sure you will all agree was of great assistance to us during our Rcmembsance Day service and parade.

At the c1050 of the tug-of-war season we put on a benefit night for the King's County Hospital, the whole amount being taken in at the door and elsewhere being turned ,over to til-Pm. oil expenses being paid by ourselves.

Before i-ntiring from ofiicc l wish to thank all the officers and mem- bers for their co-operatlon and as- sistance during the past year, as it was only by such assistance and co-operation that we were enabled to hive such a successful year, and I trust that each and every on: of you will give your new President the same ussistare and co-opera- tion that you have given me.

Respectfully submitted. W. A. Mi-LAGGAN. President.

The retirement of President Mc- Laggan cannot take place without some word of high commendation for the‘ invaluable service he has rendered as Organizer of the Can- adian Legion at Montague. The records show that since this Branch was organized two years ago it has maintained a steady growth both in membership and finances. Already the members have derived much benefit from their association with the Legion. The Remembrance Day Programme held at Montague has developed into one of the finest held in this province. The 1min of wreaths is a big-item here during the week proceeding Remembrance Day. The tug-of-wnr competition which brings splendid financial r.“- suits helps to alleviate distress in mlny homes during the winter months. This Christmas twenty-six boxes containing fruit, nuts, candy. groceries and a goose made twenty- slx homes happier for the Christ- mas season.

One of his guns is shown in the last Legionary keeping "watch on the Rhine." When seeking information on his overseas experience one need not waste time trying to get him to talk because he absolutely will not. However, members of his

he will nevertheless be an inspira-
