The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1922-06-03


The report for months of April and
May of Mrs. NJ C. eager, executive
secretary of the local Knights of Co
lumbus Bureau, for service and ex-
service men, as conducted at the
courthouse for Bay st. Louis and all
of Hancock county, shows contin-
uation of the active and splendid
work carried out by the organization.
The United States Government gives
the relief, but through this Office all
activities are directed. No individual
could carry out the functions of the
office. Mrs. eager is acquainted with
the methods of securing the relief,
what the government gives, how to
apply for it and how to get it, and
what can be had 1t is a great work
and our service and ex-service men
and their relatives have embraced the
advantages thus offered and have
vastly benefited thereby.
The Echo wishes to call the atten-
ton of all concerned that the local
bureau is closed until June 18th inst.
Mrs. eager has gone to Cincinnati,
Ohio, on a visit, and will not be home
until then. Parties interested will
govern themselves accordingly.
