but in some cases these limitations are
lifted.
The State deputy said that the STU
preme Council of the Knights Of Column
bus is organizing employment bureaus in
every one of the 1900 councils scattered
over the country. Informal steps were
taken some time ago in Burlington and
elsewhere in Vermont towards securing
employment for the boys returning from
the service. These unofficial bureaus
have placed many returning soldiers and
sailors in good positions.
The insurance of the national knights
amounted to s142, s66. 0i9S3, out Of which

The preacher touched upon the evils of
Bolshevism and socialism which are at
lacking the world, and pleaded with the
assembled knights in such crises to have
as their watchword, the watchword of
Petain, the famous French general,
They shall not pass
This is the land Of Columbus" said
Father Reville, in closing, You were
leaders in the war, be leaders in peace
Leadership has been thrust upon you.

sponsibilities. Opportunity knocks at your
door again. Its star hangs poised over
your order. Follow it's call. Go whittier the
