The attention Of the reading public is
herewith directed to a series of articles
which will appear in our county papers
regarding the origin, organization, aims
and attainments of the Social Service
League of Montgomery County. The League
has done such an outstanding work in the
county that all should know its earlier
record and the names of some of those
who made this work possible. The Social
Service League, recognizing that these peo-
pie should not be forgotten and at the same
time DESTROYS to answer in some concrete
manner the many questions that are aris-
ing concerning its history. has requested
Rev. P. Rowland Wagner to act in the
capacity of historian and bring to light
some of the most worthy persons and acts
found in our countys existence. The
League is justly proud Of its inception. its
its officers and detectives and
trusts that each family will save the several
parts Of this history as it comes to hand
and then show its belief in and apprecia-
ton for such an organization by making
some real contribution to the work of the
League. The League feels deeply indebted
to the press Of the county for its continued
kindness in printing such matters as the
public should know and asks its friends to be
sure and secure the papers which contain
the forthcoming history
