MAY DEFER HONORS
FOR SERVICE MEN
Suggested THAT Reception
Be Not Held Till SOth
Gets Back.

In view of the fact that the Eight
eth division OF the United States Army
is about to sail from France to the
United States and that this division
has a large number OF West Virginia
and Msoon county boys enrolled in It.
it has been suggested by a number OF
leading citizens that the celebration
planned for May 80 in honor of Ma.
ron county boys be postponed until
later in order that these young men
may participate in the celebration.
This division contains the 314 Field
artillery in which are number Of Ma
rion county young men and it only
seems fair that they should participate
IN the welcome which Marion county
will accord her soldiers and sailors.
]. Walter Barnes, chairman OF the
Marion county Council of Defense and
also chairman of the committee 10 ar
range for this welcome celebration is
in sympathy with this movement and
believes it would be good thing to
postpone the celebration until 1t can
be learned at what time these boys in
the S0th division will be denobil:zed.
1t is not believed that there are
enough returned soldiers and sailors
in the county at this time to Justify
the celebration and that It can be made
more auspicious. when practically all
the boys are at home.
