SOUTH AMBOY, May 25-Public
sentiment strongly favors the
American Legion building fund
drlve hat is in progress this week,
and it is expected that the results,
when tabulated at the close of Me-
mortal Day will prove a surprise
especially in view of present in
oustrial conditions.
a strong endorsement of the pro-
Ject has been received from Coun-
Gilman Thomas Lovely, father of
Luke A. Lovely, the South Amboy
LAD after whom the post is named.
Lovely, while fighting with the
Cnlted States Engineers north of
Cambria, became the first New Jer-
sey boy to give up his life in the
great world conflict. His body
mas never beer recovered, although
the family received a sketch made
by the chaplain who buried him.
showing the location of the grave
Inasmuch as this ground was fought
over two or three times after the
first engagement at Cambria, it is
likely that his remains will never
return home, and the Legion build
ing, when erected, will be a lasting
monument to his memory and to
the memory of those other valiant
South Amboy boys who made the
supreme sacrifice.
Councilman Lovely said today:
Il am heartily in favor of this move
ment, and believe the people OF
South Amboy will, by their contribu-
lions, show that they appreciate the
efforts of the boys who served in
the war. The time for cheering and
flag waving passed when the war
ended. Everyone wanted the boys
home, and now hal they are home
every one should show their appre-
citation by digging up even though
1t may meal some little sacrifice.
If Luke had returned home, / know
he would be heart and soul in the
movement to build a home for his
buddies."
