Boys, Anxious to Serve, Have Done
Splendid Work Whitewaslhing.
editor Keowee Courier:

Editor Kcowee Courier:
viii you allow me space in the
columns OF your good paper in which,
in Il small way, to express to the boys
Of the American Legion my apprecia-
ton Of the work they have been and
are doing in our town?
Some days ago Harry Il. Hugis
came to me and offered his and the
services of the Walhalla Division OF
| the American Legion in the doing
Of the much-nccdcd work of white
washing all the trees, telephone anil
| electric light poles, saying that the
for the good Of the town. and that
they would do the work if it would
be acceptable to the Mayor and Coun-
Gil. "This," said he. lis not doing
any very great thing. but we are
anxious to help in the small things
as well as in the greater things Of
life. That is, and will be, the motto
Of the American Legion Service -
and if we can render any service at
any time. command us"
This word "Scrvice" is not a new
word by any means. and to the boys
OF the American Legion it is not an
unknown quantity. They know what
service is; they know how to serve,
for when called to the service Of our
country Il few years ago it was these
very boys who made the world safe
for democracy"
or course, Mr.. Editor | at once
accepted the offer, and now that the
job Is almost done | wish to take this
opportunity, in the name Of the
Council and good people of Walhalla,
to thank you, one and all. Boys, it
will always be pleasure to me,
while | am acting in the capacity Of
your executive, to consider with you
any problems that may come up, or
to take from you any suggestions for
the uplift or betterment Of our town
and community. There are problems
to solve in the civic life Of Wal
halla. and it will be pleasure to
have you make any suggestions.
And in this connection | wish to
call the attention. not only of the
boys Of the Americann Legion, but
OF the ladies Of the Civic League as
we'll, and to the Council and every
citizen OF the town Of Walhalla. to
the necessity Of a park for Walhalla
some place where the children and
the people in general can resort for
a little rest and recreation. And it
Is easily within our possibilities to
have splendid playground in the
beautiful little city Of Walhalla-if
we will all pull together.
Let's PULL!
