MR. AND MRS. T.A. ROBINSON'S
         LEGION WORK.
 
 
    Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. ROBINSON, the honorary  secretaries of the British 
Legion and Woman's Section, received a gift in  appreciation of their service 
at a gathering in the Church Road Hall on Friday  night.

    Mr. John W. ASHBRIDGE, Chairman of the Committee,  presided, and a letter 
of regret was read from the President of the branch, Mr.  J. G. JOHNSTON, who 
was unable to be present.
 
    The Chairman speaking on behalf of the men's  section, said they had had 
in Mr. ROBINSON a secretary second to none, and they  knew the work of Mrs. 
ROBINSON had done for the Legion, irrespective of her  services as secretary of 
the Woman's Section.
 
    Mrs. Chas. ARMSTRONG, Chairman of the Woman's  Section, said Mr. and Mrs. 
ROBINSON had the work of the Legion at heart.
 
    Mrs. YOUNG, president, handed over the gift, which  consisted of a 
polished oak extending dining table, as a mark of esteem and  appreciation of the 
services of Mr. and Mrs. ROBINSON, which had proved so  valuable to the welfare 
of the branch. They were sorry to lose their help, but  in their new home they 
wished them happiness, success and God-speed.  (Applause.)
 
    Mr. and Mrs. ROBINSON returned thanks, the latter  acknowledging the 
valuable assistance she had received from Mrs. R. OSBORNE,  hon. treasurer, and 
Mrs. Chas. ARMSTRONG, chairman.
 
    Mr. James OSBORNE, the retiring honorary treasurer,  was the recipient of 
a self filling Swan fountain pen, subscribed for by the  members of the Men's 
section, and Mr. OSBORNE suitably replting.
 
    A cordial vote of thanks, on the motion of Mr. John  WILSON, seconded by 
Mr. Thos. HETHERINTON, was passed to the chairman and to the  members of the 
Woman's Section, who had presided at the tables of a splendid  supper.
 
    A social evening, including Community singing  followed. The proceedings 
terminated with "For they are jolly good people,"  "Auld Lang Syne," and the 
National Anthem.
