Legion Give Holiday Dances.

At the regular monthly meet
ing Of Bryc Post, American Lee
gion, in this city last night it was
decided to give grand ball on
Christmas night at the Fraternal
hall. and plans for making this an
affair in keeping with the season
were gotten well under way.
1t was also decided to give an
other ball on New Years eve,
which will be the local social
event Of the year, and for this
it is planned to have the War
Mothers provide and serve big
dinner.
The matter Of impressing the
fact that the Legion club room is
for club members only was given
much consideration at last
nights meeting, and it was decid-
ed to make this rule effective, ex-
cept that outsiders should be adj
mitted to the privileges of the
club when they came as guests of
members. It seems that laxness
in the enforcement of regulations
governing those attending the
club has been taken advantage of
by outsiders, who have failed to
observe the rules of the organiza-
ton which absolutely forbid any
thing in the gambling line.
1t is the desire Of the club to.
extend it's social privileges of
clean intercourse, Sports and pas
times as far as possible, and to
this end the question Of taking in
associate members will be consid-
cred at the January business
meeting, when a large turnout of
the regular membership is urged
A noticeable thing about the
club room these days is the clean
ly and neat condition in which il
is kept by j. w. Garvin, who
seems to take an especial pride in
the janitor work there, since his
son, the late Arthur Garvin, who
made such a notable record in his
service on the battle fronts in
France, was an esteemed member
of the organization.

me this pleasure During 1919 great
many Of our people did not at first re-
alize just what the thrift work Of the

the banks. the business men and the

good business and the better inSuring
of our commercial future as il nation
and as individuals. have given the
thrift movement their hearty endorse
ment. and it enters a new year ready
to take its place with other recognized
business institutions.
Il hope the patrons of this office
will invest more in these securities dur
continued Mr.. Allen. - for as our peO-
pie accept more and more the teaching
of the thrift movement it will insure
better living will enable them to he
thriftier. assist them to save and to
rave the way for future prosperity.
