SUGGESTED PROGRAM
FOR RETURNING SOLDIERS

Editor Revejlle:
What has Claiborne county done to
welcome our brave soldier and sailor
boys back home? Other communities
have extended the glad hand to their
returning soldiers, and our boys are
none less deserving than those Of
other communities.
The time is near for our annual
county school commencement at Her
manville. and it was only few years
back when our soldiers and sailors Of
to-day were school boys Many re-
ceived their diplomas from the same
teachers who are teaching to-day.
1 would like to suggest that some
public expression be had as to the
best plan to pursue in showing our
soldiers that we appreciate the spirit
that prompted them to don the uni-
form and offer their lives a sacrifice
for liberty.
All the stirring events Of this great
adventure have compelled our boys
TO think as they never thought before.
They see conditions as they are, and
they are not as they thought they
were. After the first burst of excite
ment Of reaching America and joy Of
reunion with loved ones, reaction will
set-lr. They are returning the most
wordly-Hise men, Of the earth.
Let's get busy with the program,
and don't forget the gold stars.
As way, suggest separate table
with graduates, banner at the gate
and over rostrum these words, 'Wel-
come home, heroes. Invitations may
be extended to visiting soldiers OF
those from adjoining counties.
