AMERICAN LEGION I 1I
HORACE F. CRENPO POST NO. 85
FORMED IN ALGIERS AND
NOW OPEN FOR APPLI
CATIONS FOR MEM- T
BERSHIP.
3
The Ex-Service Men of this Dis- e
trict following the custom of other a
sections, have organized a Post of d
the American Legion and in honor of
a local boy, killed in combat, the b
Post has been named Horace F. p
Creepo Post No. 85. a
The American Legion, and its V
purposes have not been thoroughly P
understood, but due to the activity b
of a number of Ex-Service Men and a
the need of preserving intact the rec
ords and comradeship of the men "
who served over there, the Legion t
is now making rapid progress in its f
efforts to accomplish this purpose.
We have in tit District upwards of r
250 men who served in the late c
war, and the promoters of the Le- I
gion are assured of a large pereen
tage joining the Legion at its next
meeting which will be held at the
Avenue Theatre on Thursday even
ing, March 3rd, 1921. The Knights I
of Columbus, always Interested in t
the American Soldier, have taken I
active interest in the organization I
of a local Post and the Knights of I
Columbus Band will be on hand to I
lend its assistance. There can be I
no doubt of the necessity of the or- i
ganization of the Ex-Soldier in his i
own interest, which means higher
American, Citizenship and the aim- I
plificatien of the Government's i
Program for his welfare,
All Ex-Serviee men of the late
War, whether Army or Navy, are
cordially Invited to be present at
a meeting of the above Post, when
prominent speakers from the State
Department will explain in full the
objects and purposes of the Legion. I
State Vice-Commander, James J.
Casserly; State Iistorian, R. B. Fos
ter and Department Commander, O.
W. McNeese will also address the
meeting.
The Public is also invited.

spelt a wl~ile cattting and visiting.
The greatest surprise was given later

remembered and a welcome to one
and all s awaiting a return visit.

When he arrived the men had de

Lawrence Young, a teacher. sa
The police said the men got into a

covering valuables. McDonogh No. J

The Eighth Grade A boys con
tinue to set a good example in punc
tuality. For quite a few weeks
they have the honor of having no
tardy boys. We are glad to note
I thgt they realise the value of being
i punctal.
On Friday last, Miss L. Eagan, the
primary supervisor, spent the great
er part of the day with us. She
was very much pleased with the
progress of the work in her depart
ment. While the primary teachers
always welcome the visits of Miss
Eagan from which they feel, they
derive so much benefit.
Mr. Dowling. physical training di
rector, was here on Monday. Each
class received special comment from
him on the work attained in the new
marching drills.
iAs usual, it doesn't take MEDDn

even in new bank accounts. Our'

last week. Since last Monday we
have thirty-seven new accounts to
our credit.
