No Smoking By-Law in Effect
John F. Beeton
Peterborough County has a No Smoking By-Law. Our local Legion; Apsley Branch 381 in one of the Legions which observes this by-law. We are in the process of working towards an outdoor summer patio, which can also be utilized for a smoking area. Awhile back some legions had smoking which discouraged non smokers form attending their functions. This is not the case here in Apsley and I would like to see more of these people ,members, prospective members and quest attending some of our many enjoyable functions. You are missing a great time if you are not there, Just see our sign in front of the Legion for further information. Now for anyone considering joining the Legion, the magazine alone is worth the price of your annual dues plus of course the many functions and activities you can enjoy. You will be very welcome ...

Quotes on Canada…………….

As always, Canada will now bury its war dead, just as the rest of the world, as always, will forget its sacrifice, just as it always forgets nearly everything Canada ever does. It seems that Canada's historic mission is to come to the selfless aid both of its friends and of complete strangers, and then, once the crisis is over, to be well and truly ignored. Canada is the perpetual wallflower that stands on the edge of the hall, waiting for someone to come and ask her for a dance.

Kevin Myers (The Daily Telegraph, London)
