I. J. Bannigan Tells of Work Done Here at Lions Club Meeting-State Com. mandcr Kelly of Ameri- can Legion Speaks.

,sThe chief dificulty of the Amer tean Legion is ignorance; ignorance within the organization and the isnor- anee Of the people" Edward V. Kelly state commander of the American Les zion told the members of the New Britain Lions club at a meeting held last evening at the Elks' club on Washington street.
 Not only those outside of the legion but many of the members themselves believe that 1t is merely an organi- zation having clubrooms for social events. playing pool. smokers and get togethers. The vision Of the men be- comes narrow and 1t is then purely a local organization. That is not the American Legion. The American Les zion has been organized to serve God and country" the speaker continued.
 Mir. Kelly said that the men ot this country learned the meaning of the word service during the war and when the armistice was signed they wondered how they could perpetuate their service. As Q result gathering was held in Paris at which time the legion was formed with the motto "For God and Country We Associate Ourselves Together"
 The legion commander touched the hearts of those in attendance at the gathering when he stated that the war is but a memory for many but for the disabled and wounded 1t if still raging.
 "No one can deny the bitter and damnable neglect encountered by the men who came back" MT. Kelly as' serted.
 Goddess Country Must Fall.-
 MT. Kelly said: "The day there is no God in an organization a menace looms up before us. Rome fell wher the Romans lost their faith in God Russia fell when the Russians los' their faith in God and we will fal
