Last Saturday evening, forty of Mr..

the Great Northern hotel to entertain
him. Mr.. Westby Is here on furlough
from Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. He
is one OF New London's soldier boys
of whom we are all proud. He has
adopted this village as his home and
we all feel that it is great privilege
to entertain him while he is here.
During the evening, Mr.. Westby was
presented with bill purse and it's con-
tents. His speech of acceptance had
in it true ring of patriotism and love
for his adopted country. He said
some very nice things about the work
of the Red Cross and the appreciation
and gratitude of it's benefactors He
complimented his officers and the gov
eminent upon the efficient methods in
handling such large masses of men
and supplies. It does a community q
great good to have men come home on
furloughs and explain to them the
work done at the camps, and the atti-
tude of the men towards efforts OF
those at home. It stimulates those al
ready active to greater efforts and a
few more passive characters to act1v-
ity..
