Spencer Livington, entertained when the 48th Highlanders visited Acton Legion on Saturday July 21.- James Hayes photo. Expanded Go Train service to George- town is not in the cards for the near future, yet billions of dollars have been promised for public transit by the province in the Greater Toronto and Golden Horseshoe areas, news that disappoints Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette. Its unfortunate that $18-billion dollars (in transit funding) is announced, and were not getting a piece of the pieis there anything concrete, anything sub- stantial that is coming to Halton Hills? Bonnette asked staff at the July council meeting, prior to presentations by the Town and Region to the Greater Toronto Transportation Authority (GTTA) board that will report to the province this fall on a transportation strategy. At the July 27 GTTA meeting, Halton lobbied for all-day GO Train service on the Georgetown and Milton lines and rapid transit bus service on Highway 407. Bonnette said that although Halton Hills is part of the GTA, when it comes to transit funding, it never seems that way.

Comrades, On Sunday August 12 we will be participating in the Leathertown Festival; this annual event is always a most enjoyable day for those who take part in informing the public of the work of the Legion. If you feel you can contribute to the success of this day, contact a member of the Branch executive, or leave your name with the stew- ards, and we will contact you. Many hands do make light work. Have you remembered to mark your calendar for the Family Fun Day and Gary Munday Memorial Fishing Derby on Sunday Aug. 26? The fishing will start at 12 noon, the games and B.B.Q. at 1 P.M. The first 50 kids to arrive receive a free goodie bag. There will be a B.B.Q. of burg- ers and hot dogs, (children will be given a free coupon for the B.B.Q.) door prizes for kids and adults, games and prizes, plus this year; a talent contest for children. If your child has a special CD they would like to sing or dance to, please bring it. This particular event is for entertainment only, the idea is for the kids to have fun not stress, however, we will be giving prizes to the winners of each category. Ages will be 3 to 5 yrs., 6 to 8 yrs., and 9 to 12 yrs.; we also have some new challenges for both kids and adults. SPORTS. The horseshoe tourney between Br.197 and Br.120 last Saturday afternoon was well supported, but the Georgetown crowd won the day. A good time was had by all, and that was the real name of the game. The Legion Masters seems to get more popular every year; the sign-up sheet was up and down in three days. Sorry all 72 places have been taken. You could ask to have your name on a short list (mine is) in case of cancellations. Yours in comradeship, Jim Hayes, Branch 197 PRO.
