The article written by
Comrade Sam Kirkaldy in
the 1976 Supplement covered
the forming of Branch 13 in
1919 under the Great War
Veterans, the change to the
British Empire * Service

League n 1926 and the Royal .

Assent to use the title “Royal
Canadian Legion’. It also
dealt with the building
Branch 13 occupied during
those years. The article was
entitled ‘Looking Back Over
the Years"’.

I would like to entitle my
few words ‘Looking For-
ward". 1 can remember
thirty years ago I became a
member of Branch 13 in the
building now occupied by All
Seasons Sporting Supplies.
The building quickly became
inadequate, and so in the
early ‘50s, we purchased the
present building and
property. When we moved
in, it was pretty bleak — to
say the least, The building
was heated by pot bellied
stoves; the walls were bare
and the seating was crude.
However, we survived and
have continued to progress.
We have also increased our
community services by
sponsoring the Cadets,
Minor Hockey and Baseball
and donations to the Boy
Scouts and Girl Guides. We
have also provided bursaries
fo several students for
higher education and above

“FIRE AND IGE”

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire

all, provided excellent
service to veterans and their
families,

We are now reaching a
point where it becomes
essential to build a new
Legion building in order ta
give our members better
facilites. At the present
time, if we want to put on a
large function, we have to
hire a hall and there are not
too many of these available.
Our hard working Ladies’
Auxiliary work under the
most difficult conditions. We
are sure that the good ladies
will support us to the hilt in
our endeavour to provide a
new building.

It will become — in-
creasingly necessary for our
associales to put their
shoulders to the wheel and
take same of the burden off
the “Old Sweats’. Yes, it
wasn't that long ago thal the
“Old Sweats” were the First
World War veterans. Time
has changed all that and now
the Second War vets are
quickly becoming the ‘Old
Sweats". The associates now
have the vote at branch
level, so can now take an
active part. [f we are going
to move forward, the
associates must take an
active part — so how about
it, new comrades?

I:would like to pay tribute
to the Ladies Auniliary for
their continued support and

to the many “Old Sweats”
who have stood by and
helped to hold the Legion
intact.

I would be amiss if I did

‘not mention the several

“Fragment: 6& September 1967" W.D. Ehrhart

We lay in mud, struggling
While the waves of death broke over us,

And cast us loose on a sea of madness.

And the blood felt like tears

On the blade of my bayonet;

And youthful dreams lay dead

Amid spent cartridges and broken bodies

After that, there was no innocence;
And there was no future to believe in.

GREATER LOVE

Red lips are not so red

ANTHEN FOR DOOMED YOUTH

What passing-belis for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons.

No mockerieg now for them; na prayers nor bells,
Not any voice of mourning save the choirs.—

The thrill, demented choirs of wailing shells,
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys, butin their eyes

Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes.
And pallor of girls' brows shalibe their pail,

Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,

And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

As the stained stones kissed by the English dead.
Kindness of wooed and wocer
Seems shame to their love pure.
O Love, your eyes lose lure
When I behold eyes blinded in my stead!

I hold with those who favor fire.
But if jt had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great

And would suffice.

Your slender attitude
Trembles not exquisite like limbs knife-skewed,
Rolling and rolling there
Where God seems not to care;
- Till the fierce love they bear
Cramps them in death's extreme decrepitude. —

Your voice sings not so soft,—

Though even as wind murmuring through raftered loft,—
Your dear voice is not dear, ,
Gentle, and evening clear,
As theirs whom none now hear,

Now earth has stopped their piteous mouths that coughed.

Heart, you were never hot . ;
Nor large, nor full like hearts made great with shot;
And though your hand be pale,
Paler are all which trail ~
Your cross through flame and hail:
Weep, you may weep, for you may touch them not.
