PERSH|NC THANKS
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

A letter from General Pershing re-
ceived by William J. Mulligan, Chair
man Of Knights Of Columbus War Ac-
tivities, expressed in warm terms ap-
probation for what the Knights of
Columbus have done for the Amerl-
can Army abroad before and since the
armistice was signed. General Per-
ching in his letter said:
II wish to express through you to
the Knights of Columbus my appreca-
tion and that of the officers and men
under my command for the valuable
services rendered by your organiza-
ton to the American Expeditionary
Forces"
"The active work of your organiza.
tion in France began early in 1918,
was well under way by the spring of
that year and has been increasing in
scope ever since. Before the cessa.
ton of hostilities its workers were at.
tached to many of the combat divi.
sions, and recreation huts had been
opened in the principal American con,
centration centers. Numerous com.
mandng officers have commended the
devotion to duty of your personnel
and have testified to their popularity
and helpfulness among the troops
whom they serve.
During the armistice 1t has been
particularly active in the promotion of
athletics, most valuable factor for
health and contentment. 1t has also
contributed to the success of the army
entertainment program by numerous
appropriations for musical instru.
ments ond equipment of soldier shows
has increased its general recreational
activities, helping materially to main.

Old man Mars does something else
besides sharpen ! plowshares into
swords. He sharpens the wits Of the
men who have to handle the swords
or whatever other articles are con-
sldered most appropriate for finishing
off the enemy in rapid time.
Our men returning from the wars
show all the marks Of improved men
tality-a quicker grasp of any task
given to them and keener ambition
to be up and doing. All this has been
generated by army discipline and ex-
perience at the front, where mans
wits were often his sole physical SAL
vation.
In their educational work among
the men Of the army and navy the
Knights of Columbus are discovering
remarkable aptitude on the part Of the
returned men to learn the technicali-
ties of highly specialized trades. When
the X. of G. installed q school of auto
mechanics at Camp Dix, N. j., 1t was
thought that one difficulty would be
the length of time it would take for
the men attending the school to be-
come proficient autqmeehhnicsras the
time at their, iIispos4t WIS during the
period they awaited rehabilitation.
Superintendent Hayes, in charge of
the school, figured that a young man
more than averagelys brainy and dill.
gent could make the course in six
weeks. With large class he discov-
cred that not one man was what he
had considered to be the average.
They were all above the average. For
within six weeks every man in the
school was qualified to take a good
paying job as an auto-mechanic.
Elsewhere the knights teach car
pentry, machine handling and business
subjects. A large school in employ
ment management is also conducted
by the Knights. But everywhere the
same report holds true, that the men
returned from the wars have their wits
made keen for self advancement.

What NewS Did
Early Papers
offer Readers?

The Oldest Richmond newspaper on
file at the Morrison-Reeves library is
Public Ledger dated May Z, 1925.
This is not the first number published,
however, as the paper was started in
1924. The Ledger was the second
Richmond newspaper, the 1ntelligen-
Ger being the first.
The aged newspaper is about the
size of the Junior Palladium. 1t is
very we'll printed, and the paper has
lasted we'll, although the sheets are
frayed around the edges. 1t was print
ed and published every Saturday by
Edward Buxton, on Front street OPP
posite the Richmond hotel
The first page is devoted to poetry,
fiction, and to long article, telling in
parable form the advantages of taking
a newspaper. The parable is a tale
of two brothers, one of whom sub
scribed for newspaper while the
other did not. The four sons of the
one grew up honest. intelligent and
manly and filled the high places of an
intelligent farmer, a respectable trad
er, a manufacturer, and law student,
while the sons of the brother who did
not subscribe became a corporal in
the militia, horse-jockey, a fiddler,
and the youngest went to the peniten-
tiary.
A feature story, about a beggar
found dead of cold and starvation in a

age of the first steamer to travel

and other happenings, make up the
other columns of the paper.
The advertising column is headed,
New Goods" Thomas Owens, Jr-.
has just received from Philadelphia
new shipment of goods which were
purchased before the recent rise in
prices, and will be sold on the usual
terms" reads one advertisement
which sounds strangely familiar.
Simon Quill, a local wag, conducted
"colyum,' which took up the entire
back page of the paper, under the
of the Fools Cap" He carefully ex-
planned that the name did not refer
to his "colyum," but to the paper upon
which he wrote it.
