Columbus, delivered a patriotic vel
come.

upon at any moment to night for the
country and that II would then be the
duty OF those who DO not go TO see
that the families OF the men at the
front are provided for. just as the
Knights OF Columbus were providing
for their needy.
Mr.. Rover pointed out that before
America entered the war the people
of this country were doing much to
comfort the needy people OF Europe.
Now. he said, the country should turn
its attention to its own people, who
might need the same assistance in the
