According to Bill Beaton an Oshawa Legion guest, he can remember the "good old days" when the old "chicken coop" (behind the Post Office) wouldn't have held all those present. "We used to be a friendly and helpful group then, but things have changed", he said. John Sweetman made special mention of a few Port Perry Legion members who had received special cita- tions for their efforts during the last war and concluded - that there were a number of people who did not know what these men had done and he felt they should. MC John Maw concluded the evening by saying that there are few members of .Branch 419 who know what John Sweetman has done for the branch and the commun- ity in general, and they never will because that is the way he wants it. Mr. Sweetman received a standing ovation for his address to the group. John L. Sweetman and President Ed Groves chat at the table. "OPENING SOON!
