The fifth grade of our schools un-
der the leadership of their teacher
have made GIT trench candles for the
soldiers to be sent through the Red
Cross society. They have an organi-
zation called the Juvenile Patriotic
League and are doing their bit to help
win the war.
A large service flag was presented
to the Wauwatosa High School by the
League in honor of the % boys who
are in the service who are graduates
of the school. A large number of our
boys are officers which speaks highly
of the training they have received in
the old Wauwatosa Light Guard.

The Mothers and Sisters meeting,
which was called by Mrs. Harry Full
Ter directly after the meeting of the
Loyalty Legion last Friday night, was
cordially responded to, about thirty
mothers and sisters being present.
The purpose of this is to be absolutely
informal and to have meetings the
hour preceding the regular meetings
of the Loyalty Legion at the High
School, and mothers and sisters are
asked to bring either letters or items
about their soldier boys" for what
ever interests them is of interest to
every mother and sister.
A meeting of the Wauwatosa City
branch of the Wisconsin Loyalty Lee
gion was held at the High School last
Friday evening, with Mr.. j. A. B.
Tompkins in the chair. Mr.. S. j.
Brouwer, who had been at Battle
Greek for the past few days told Of 4
visit to our boys in camp there. Mr..
Charles B. Perry made the presenta-
ton speech of the service flags,
which were distributed to the families
of the boys who are in the service.
The meeting was not as largely at
tended as it should have been, al
though there was fairly good-sized
crowd. Every person in WauwatOsa
should be a member of this organiza-
ton. The next meeting will be held
soon, and it is hoped that the organi-
cation will receive large number in
to membership at the next meeting.
