The Glasgow courier., 1922-05-12

At the regular Legion meeting of
Valley Post No. Al, held last Tuesday
evening at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms, Glasgow, definite action was
taken to start campaign "For a
home of our own" to house both the
Legion; also the Auxiliary, which has
but recently been organized. The vets
feel that they can do the same as have
many other posts in the state and the
country in providing a permanent
home for their activities and for their
headquarters.
The big plan Of raising funds calls
for an intensive program of amuse-
ments, the profits from which will all
go toward building fund. Baseball,
dancing, movies, theatricals, concerts,
and such big special celebrations as
the Fourth of July, comprise this eff
fort. Every member voted to stand
back of the tentative program and to
constitute committee of one to boost
advertise and assist in putting this
affair over big. The attitude the boys
take as to the support that Glasgow

comment. They feel that their two or
ganizations can put over anything in
an amusement line that Glasgow
needs, with the exception of course of
the regular moving picture programs
now conducted by the theatres and the
special doings of local organizations.
That is, they do not want single dol
lar to go out of town in payment of
talent. such as travelling dance orches-
tras, street concessions for fair time,
and all such things which take the
profits from town. They want every
dollar to stay at home in Glasgow and
give assurance that they will corral
every "bone" possible and put it to
work here.
Throughout the United States the
two organizations have worked hand
in hand for civic betterment, for clean
er and finer cities, for purer Ameri-
canism, for clean athletics and places
of amusement. In Glasgow the Legion
has demonstrated it's ability to man.
age all this and to provide wholesome
activities and sports. They point to
their last years record in the matter
of baseball for example; to their splen-
did dances and concerts this past win
ter, and to the representative men,
bership in the town and surrounding
county.
They make an appeal of merit. They
left for service in II and '18 to do
their share without word of COM
plant. They offered their ALL, some
came back in poor physical health as a
paid the supreme sacrifice, others
result of that service. They do not
ask now for donations for their head
quarters, they ask for MORAL sup
port and your patronage of their af-
fairs, and they are entitled to it as
they always have and always will give
satisfaction and your moneys worth.

Day service ever held in Glasgow. Ev-

real program is in store for Glasgow
ties on this day. For the Fourth of
July the boys have planned the finest
celebration ever held in this section
OF the state. Every part of the two
or three days entertainment will be
under the supervision of the Legion
and the Auxiliary. Every cent made
above expenses will go "For Home
