The citizenship claim of George Talabac of North Grosvenordale has been fully investigated by Oscar W. Swanson Post, American Legion, and although this claim had been petition ed before the superior court at Put nam last year, it was denied, due to the war record of the petitioner. The investigation conducted by the local Post brought forth the status of MT. Talabac from the time he declared in tentions in 1916 to the date he was denied citizenship in 1920, and it is only just that the court would refuse favorable action on the case. The war record, obtained from the select i've serivce division at Washington, D. C., cnanot be printed at the present time, but it nevertheless can be said that the claim of Talabac to citizen ship of the United States should not be granted. Citizenship claims of this kind will be stubbornly opposed by the American Legion.

When she walks through the garden before the house any loose sticks clods of earth or stones rise in the air and fall again.
