Alma record., 1918-11-07

One evening this past week two
soldiers stopped resident Of Alma
and asked, What amusement does
Alma provide for soldiers who are
here ?" Naturally the resident of
Alma was up against il to a consider
able extent, and made excuses for the
city by the use of the handy FLU"
ban.
IL developed that these soldiers,
and very probably there are many
others like them who come to Alma,
wanted to meet people, had that
snatural longing TO be one of the
bunch, one of Alma, so to speak,
while they were here. As nothing in
the way of entertainment had been
provided for the several hundred
visiting soldiers last week. aside
from the coffee and doughnut spread
given them Sunday by the Republic
girls, they naturally felt that Alma
did not have time, or would not take
the time to make them seem at home,
to aid in making their difficult lot a
contented one and make them better
men for their having been in our
midst
When they are here why should
not Alma open up her arms to them.
Invite them TO the home for meal
or two, to the home for am houI or
two in the evening. give some little
entertainment for them, and make
them feel at home, that their inter
est is indeed our interest. keep them
contented and happy, making them
better soldiers and fighters in our in
terests.
1t is a small thing for us to do.
out for them it may be that il will !
De a big thing i'm their lives
