time to pluck up that which is planted:
9. A time to kill, andtime to heal; a time to break down, anda
time to build up;
4, Atime to weep, anda time to laugh; a time to mourn anda
time to dance;
5. A time to cast away stones, and a4 time to gather stones
together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from

The reasoning behind this
move of opening up the
membership was the very
real fact that a considerable
time had passed since any
hostilities in which Canada

daughters who were eager, it
was felt that they should be
eligible for some form of
membership so that in the
future they carry on with the
aims and objects of the

Legion.

The Royal Canadian
Legion from coast to coast is
a-very large organization
and has some widely dif-
fering views from one region
to another. In the beginning
a separation was pressed
for, and granted, so that
associate membership could
be granted under the con-

ditions mentioned earlier, -

These associate members
could attend branch general
meetings, be involved in
discussions, but could not
vote or hold any office. Many
branches such as Terrace
branch, requested that these
associate members form up
their own group within the
parent group. They would
have their own executive,
hold their own meetings and
over a period of time would
have been involved ta such a
degree that they would in

effect be taking over the

responsibilities of our
veterans service work,

As with any organization
there were some very eager
members who really applied
themselves and we had an
aggressive club going. It was
apparent from the beginning.
that these keen types felt
quite put. out in that they
could not vote at regular
meetings.. In the ensuing
years the membership in
many branches throughout
Canada has grown very
rapidly, in some instances
approaching the same
number as the regular
membership. In other
branches and in some
commands this form of
membership has not been
encouraged, due mainly to
non-performance of the
associates.

At the Dominion Con-
vention held in Edmonton in
June of this year there were
nineteen resolutions
presented to grant the right
to vole and hold office in the
Legion, in many varied
forms. Ten of these
resolutions were from
branches within Pacific

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
if ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

I walk beside the prisoners to the road,

Load on puffed load,

Their corpses, stacked like sodden wood,
Lie barred or galled with blood.

In the old way

The living leaf,

Clings to the planted profitable,

Pine if it is able.

From this dead file,

The planners ruled for them...One year,
They sent a million here:...

Command. Of these nineteen
resolutions, ‘three reached
the convention floor, The
first would grant all the
rights and privileges of
ordinary members. It was
defeated in passing. The
second would grant the right
to vote and hold office of
their particular branch. This
also was defeated. The third
would grant the right to vote
at branch level, but would
not grant the right to be
elected to the executive.

This resolution was passed.

After the balloting was
completed, the constitution
and laws committee was
asked to clarify the position
with respect to participation
in branch committees, At the
present time a son or
daughter of an associate
member has the right to vate
at branch level, may not be
elected to any office, but
may be appointed either as
chairman or member of any
committee other than the
standing committees, or be
appointed as a member of a
standing committee.

This year Branch 13 of the
Legion is at a_ very
significant crossroad in its
life, Branch membership has
grown to the point that we
have modified, changed and
scrounged every available
inch of space in our present
building to provide en-
tertainment facilities for our
membership. Unfortunately
a@ great number of our
members do not participate
other than on Friday or
Salurday night. Our
Development Committee has
accomplished a lot in the
preparation of plans,
specifications and financial
feasibility of the new Legion
premises to be built on Park
Ave. What we need now is
the involvement of ALL our
members, including the
associates, to create this new
building. The crossroads
are: To proceed with the
development and thus enable
the Legion to once again
function as a velerans
service organization as well
as a social house, or to pull in
our horns and cut back on the
social activities in our
present branch and = thus
provide the room for the
neglected Legion functions.

Is up to YOU, the
members
