Spirit in Lyon Township.

Jewell Record: Varick C. Crosley
and Hon. RUDE McFerren, of Webster
City, the two county chairmen of the
National Defense Council, recently re-
quested the township members in each
township Of the county to perfect
township organizations of the council
by selecting a member from each foar
sections of each township. TIL. Lyon
township member wrote letters 70
eight men of the township, requesting
them to serve in this capacity, and
every man that was asked has accept
ed the appointment. None of them
was anxious for the responsibility but
all were willing to serve If it was felt
that their services would help in any
way. That is what is going to make
America unbeatable in this war, the
readiness of almost every American
citizen to make the sacrifice and to
give the services that are asked OF
him. Nobody can beat that kind OF
spirit, and that spirit is coming more
and more to the front every day.
