Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bawmanville, June 15, 1977 9 Recentlly Elected Off icers ôf Legion Ladies Auxiliary WOMEN'S INSTITUTE Owing to a variety of circumstances the Women's Institute closing meeting until September was changed from a picnic at Enniskillen Conser- vation Area to an indoor picnic at Trinity Sunday School room. The weather was very chilly, some members were sick and others helping with the election so we just had 20 members present. Mrs. Twist took charge of the meeting in the absence of our President Mrs. Wiseman who is in hospital. Best get well wishes were expressed for those who are sick. The meeting opened by singing 'O Canada' and repeating the collect, followed by the. min- utes of the last meeting. Tweedsmuir Day is to be held June 28th in Bowmanville Library. It was decided to send a delegate to the Convention in November and hopefully Mrs. Brine will be our delegate. Mrs. Bell gave a full and interesting report on the Officer's Conference she had attended in Waterloo in May, and suggested anyone who is offered the opportunity to attend a conference, should accept. The President of F.W.I.D., Mrs. Maluski gave these suggestions to have successful and interesting meetings. Prepare well for meetings. Promote-invite friends and neighbours to become new mnemberg. Participate-try to have every member take part in meetings. Perseverence- have patience and don't get discouraged. It was hoped delegates would take many ideas home to their branches. There were 510 delegates, and Mrs. Bell thanked the Institute ladies for sending her she enjoyed the company, food and her whole new experi- ence. Roll caîl was weil answered by singing, saying, doing or paying 25 cents. The answers proved to be real interesting and informative. This part of the meeting closed with God Save the Queen. Contests and games were conducted by Mrs. Flintoff, Mrs.-Stapleton and Mrs. Malley. Everyone took part and' prîzes won Tables were soon laden with scrumpt- ious food which all did justice to. Things were smon picked up and good-byes said after a pleasant afternoon. Canadian National Exhibition The hilîs of Nepal, on the northeastern frontier of India, are thousands of miles from the Highland glens of Scot- land--but the bagpipe is a common bond. This unusual bond will be demonstrated in spectacular fashion at the Scottish World Festival Tattoo, August 18 to 21, at Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition. Flying to Canada to take part in the award-winning Scottish Tattoo will be the famed Pipes and Drums of the 6th Queen Elîzabeth's Own Gurkha Rifles of the legend- ary Brigade of Gurkhas. The Gurkhas, the tough little hilîmen from Nepal, and their world famous pipe band have for many years been star attractions at the Edinburgh Castle Tattoo in Scotland. This August they will be making a special appearance at the Scottish World Festival Tattoo in honour of The Queen's silver jubilee. For more than a hundred years, proud Gurkha warriors have been the pride of the British army, always faithful to the crown. A Gurkha proverb reads: ,"It's better to die than be a coward." And thousands of Canadian and American servicemen will remember these famed soliders for their deeds of glory in E~urope, North Africa and Asia during World War 2. Always cheerful and slight of stature, the Gurkhas neyer- theless have slashed their way into military history with their. fearsome kukri, the heavy curved knife used to decapi- tate their foes. Although neyer more than a tiny fraction of total British forces, the ferocious Gurkhas have won 26 Victoria Crosses-- the highest military honour in the Commonwealth--and a host of lesser decorations. "No body of men has a higher reputation than the Brigade of Gurkhas", lauded Britain's Field Marshal Lord For further information on the Pipes and Drums of the Brigade of Gurkhas and the Scottish World Festival Tattoo, write- to: Scottish World Festival, Canadian National Exhibition, Exhibi- tion Place, Toronto, Canada.
