By Fred Larecque Well, Comrades, t notice by the old calendar on the wall that the days are slipping swiftly by and lots of us still haven't got around to paying our membership dues for good old branch 54. The time is now. It's not that we can't af- ford it, mostly it has been an over- sight on our parts. After all $6.25 per year comes to a huge sum of fifty-two cents per month. It cer- tainly won't put us in the poor house. I am trying to use the news- paper as a means to get all you guys interested. Any members who have anything they think would be of interest to the branch and its members please contact me, F, Larocque, phone OS 2318. Any little -thing is a big help and it will help me a great deal as I am only an ordinary member the same as yourselves and my business. is mining, not reporting. Wednesday night should be very entertaining with darts going and cribbage if you prefer it. Next week I will contact our Sports of- ficer Comrade.
