WELcoMING soldiers is pleasant occu,

community reveals a whole.hearted en-

an opportunity to express itself in this
fashion. It may be worth our while to re-

at least there is one fault in the usual
welcome extended to Homecoming service
men. Good intentions evaporate too quickly
after the soldiers land. The welcome burns
itself out in cheers and tlaG.wav!nS.
Tho men who have fought in France
deserve a welcome that will extend over
from day to day and make the way easier
for them when they seek a way back into
the scheme Of everyday life. An uproar

in frock coats, fag.bedecked tugs footing
good od-naturcdly are all well enough The
soldiers themselves will be justified If they
expect consideration and regard and u
touch of warmth in the receptions TO be

1t is then that this city and every other

to the men in the service now on their

of soldiers left destitute and lonely are
exaggerated. But il seems to he pretty

The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association
has a membership of 5000 men, There are
only 300 rankers in the whole service.
The benevolent association is out with
formal appeal directed TO Governor Sproul

the police department, in order that 'po-

The quotation is from the text OF the
