1t would seem that the 18th is
coming into its own again. For
several years 1t has lacked the zest
and enthusiasm noticeable in it's early
anniversaries but of late so many
members of the G. A. r. have
answered the Last Roll call. 1t has
not been the celebration of the past.
Within the past month. it has been
turned over to the members of the
American Legion and all are stirring
to make the 30th. anniversary an
affair long ITO be remembered.
Through lack of funds the Grand
Army building is sadly in need of
repairs and the Legion has not an
adequate amount of money in the
treasury to do this, so they propose
to make this their tag day.
Tags will be sold for any amount
the individual wishes to give and no
matter how small, it will be CRATE
fully received.
During the war Unity gave her
men and money literally and al
though several years have passed
since the signing of the Armistice,
every member of the legion is posi-
tive the public will respond as lib
orally now.
