All services, three wars and a
wide assortment of ranks were
represented there. at the Cana-
dian Legion auditorium on an
oceasion for which, as Branch
President Alex Haig said, the
keynote was “camaraderie.”

“The spirit of camaraderie
which always marks life in the
service, is at its strongest in
times of stress and danger,” Mr.
Haig remarked. “It is up to uS
to retain that spirit, and we
can do so by turning out often
and in full force.

“Development of camaraderie
is one of the goals which the
executive has set for itself and,
with the help of every membef,
there is no doubt that it will
succeed, as the banquet today
testifies.”

He reminded the audience
that there were veterans of the
South African campaign pres-
ent, as well as those of the two
World Wars.

Mr. Haig extended special
thanks to the Ladies’ Auxil-
iary which had a major part
in making the banquet ar-
rangements. He also expressed
appreciation to all service
units and other organizations
which had contributed to the
success. of the memorial cere-
mony at the Cenotaph. .

on the importance of the Legion
