branch as audited by messrs john d kelly and h dickie was pressnted by treasurer w rons this auditors report shows me af fairs of toe legion are in a very nealuqy oondkion it baa been the custom of the local branch to elect lte officers at the an nual meeting but due to a resolution presented by ooznade chapman at the last meeting asking that the election of officers be carried out as last trear that is by the bauot system of voting- at the meeting on thursday when the resolution was brought before the meeting an amendment to the resolu tion was presented by comrade col o b s ooueens and when the ques tion was put before the meeting a un- animoup vote carried the amendment therefore comrades we will again this year vote toy ballot which will be sent to each member after the ten day period expiree the names re- yna lining- cn the legion board wul be printed on the ballot and each mem ber may deposit his marked ballot on election night or forward it to the secretary to be deposited in the ballot box outside scrutineers wfll be present on election night to tabulate the votes and inform the meeting of the names of the officers elected for 194646 term great interest was shown by members at the meeting and when the nominations opened all comrades took part in nomlnatinsr one or more mem bers for the different offices looking over the names appearing on the board we noticed nine were no minated or the office ol president and by saturday night last we are inform ed that at least seven are determined to stand for this important office all other offices carry seven to nine names so election talk for this or that office is the main topic in the club rooms these days the tenday period will have elapsed by the end ol the week and we will mention in our next le gion notes the names of those malnlng on the board and definitely unnlng for office comrade president stalford very capably handled the meetirg which terminated after midnight several important decisions were thrashed out fax the benefit of all members and with the singing of the national an them the annual meeting was brought to a close notes the comrades were informed last saturday night by chairman of the canteen comrade jimmy roberts that owing to the changes adopted by the general meeting affecting- the can teen that the ration of free meat pies will have to be discontinued on satur day nigh s jimmy informed the writ er thai he will have meat pies this saturday which he will sell at cost price to any comrades wishing to pur chase same so comrades don t leave atuck slth a lot of extra pies on hand saturday he la kind enough to bring these in so help him out dis posing of them one feature of the elections eblj year is that sour ex members will be elected from the floor to sit on the executive last year all chairmen of the duftrrnt aonnrdttees were on the executive but this year only those elected will be an the executive therefore chairmen of the different committeei can still hold then- office whether they form part of the execu uve or not the fact that elections will not be held until the 26th of april gives the officers of the legion an extra month to carry on meaning that all officers elected last year ftill ibe serving 13 months and officers for 1w5 will be serving for only h months comrades please do not erase your own or any other names appearing on the board the president or secretary are the only authorized officers to re move your name please cooperate so until next week to ad comrades and their families a happy easter j b the hydroelectric power
