He also an- nounced that another Zone Rai- ly wiil be held at the Bowman- ville Branch during March, at which time nominations will be accepted from the floor for a new Zone Commander.

Treasurer Jack Rice gave a financial statement for bath the last quarter of 1954 and the entire year. These shawed th2t the Branch had withdrawals which slightly exceeded depas- its, but he pointed out that heavy expenditures had been made during 1954 for new chairs, a new ventilation sys- tem, a movie projector and other equipment, and also that mortgage and interest payments on the new Legion Hall had been heavy. The mortgage has now been entirely discharged, he said. The Legion members are planning a ceremony of burning the mortgage on Feb- ruary 26 at which Legion, La- dies Auxiliary andPipe Band members and their wives and husbands wiil be guests of the Branch.

They drove ta San Francisco in six days encountering neither snow or real cold weather.
