 The gathering arose in unison as a tribute to the head of the Sacred Heart2 parish and his many public achievements,
 State Senator Edward F. Hall, a member of the advisory committee of the drive, then announced that Eddy-Glover post appreciated the wonderful help and spirit shown by Father Bojnowski and his parishion- CTS, as well as all those who helped in the drive. He reported that a group of manufacturers, whose names were not mentioned. had agreed to underwrite the drive to the extent of S31750 and authorized Postmaster II, E. Erwin, who had charge of the bulletin board, to an- nounce this amount pledged, His re- port was received with cheers.
 Rev. William H. Alderson, pastor Of Trinity M. E. church, was the speaker of the day. He opened his remarks by referring to the drive and said "The thing that im- presses us is not that 1t is in sup port of the American Legion, but that 1t Is to help in the rehabilita- ton of men who have been helped by the government. but who need further help.
 '1n this day there Is creeping into modern life a sense of obligation towards the other man." He spoke of an incident told about in an old book" in which one man killed another and when called to account asked Am my brothers keeper%" "One day there came into this world man who taught us we are our brothers keeper. He taught us a sense of obligation to the other fellow.
 The American Legion has an- other obligation. It is contained in clause in the oath of allegiance to promote peace and good will l among men"
 we have debt of home and rehabilitation 10 pay to the men who need 1t, but 1t ought never be 1 necessary to have to pay such a debt again. The next generation ought not to be burdened with such a debt. Eleven,years ago the whole world blew to pieces. Twenty five or $ million men were laid in their graves and billions of. dollars were lost-and the world has not ad- vanced one step because of 1t.
 "The American Legion has r'a hi to say This ought not to happer again.
 No government has the right tc ask the lives Of 25 or 2s million
 men. After all these men were killed we sat down at table and
 settled the opposition of peace
 which should have been settled be
 fore the war.
 The American Legion Is in it'
 right 10 pay this debt, but we insis that no future generation should b.
 called upon for men and dollars tt fight in a useless war which can b. settled around the peace table" Commander Scheuy then thanked all who had helped in the drive anc ? announced that at S;50 o'clock to $ night there would be street parad r and band concert at the square
 He announced as the slogan of th . Eddy Glover post from now on "W . thank you-watch us grow" ] Immediately after the meetin 2 Commander Scheuy announced tha p he had appointed Rev, Mir, Aldersor r who is an ex-service man, chaplai 1 of the Eddy-Gloyer post.
