AMERICAN LEGION AMBULANCE
Week of February 7th to 18th
Inclusive

INCLUSIVE
The attention of the people Of
Cecil county is respectfully called
o rather unfortunate situation
which has recently arisen in con-
1ection with the American Legion
Ambulance Service.
Members of Cecil Post have for
ome little time been running into
rather persistent rumor, wide
pread over the county, to the effect
hat the Post is refusing to make
ambulance trips without receiving
,ay for same.
Whether this rumor is being
'pread by people who are merely
nisinformed about the true situation
)r whether it was with malicious
ntent that the report was started
not definitely known. An exam
nation of the facts in the case,
however, will show how utterly
,alse any such charge as this
really is.
Including this weeks report. the
trips since it has been in service.
Of thi snumber exactly $50 have
been without the Legion receiving
one single penny of remuneration in
my way. OF the remaining twenty
i've trips, in fourteen of the cases
he people using the ambulance
have been so grateful for the SER
yice rendered them, that they have
voluntarily contributed to the am
)ulance maintenance fund. Of the
other eleven cases for which money
vas received, these were either
,harges which were made to people
outside the county for services
rendered or remunerations from
people using the ambulance who
have offered to pay stated amounts
,or certain long trips made.
Let it be clearly understood that
he Legion is always most grateful
'or contributions made to the am
bulance maintainance fund, as this
is our only means for maintaining
the service. We hope that these
will continue to come
in in sufficient volume to enable us
to continue a real ambulance SER
vice for the people of the county.
The facts of the case are before
you and it is hoped that all of the
many friends of the Legion in the
county will do everything in their
power to stamp out the report being
spread. The records of the ambu-
lance activities are open to exam
nation at any time and are as
stated above.
During the past week three trips
were made, despite the extremely
bad roads. Communities served in
cluded Ricketts, Mills, New Leeds,
and New Bridge, near Rising Sun.
STATISTICAL REPORT
Number of trips for week, 3;
average mileage per trip, FL; total
mileage for week, "a; total trips to
late, IT'S; average mileage per trip,
30; total mileage to date, 5279.

CHRISTMAS
By Louise Anderson

Tumbling down the toboggan of in
finite time Christmas, with its jollity
amalgamated with Christian piety, has
gotten into the habit through pleas
ing repetition of doing and giving ra-
Their than expecting and receiving on
each 25th of December. 1t is an oeca-
sion Astounding in missions of love and
messages of good will.
GLORY to God in the Highest.
Peace and Good Will on Earth" should
be fervently chanted by multitude
of voices in every land at the glorious
anniversary of the Risen Savior. 1t is
a day to entomb hate and enthrone
love, to bury selfishness and malice
deep beneath the firm sod of forgive
ness and understanding. If we would
enjoy the fullest measure of happi-
ness we should plan to make those
about us happy. 1t is not necessary to
lavish expensive gifts nor to give with
the spirit of custom and the secret
desire for something little better in
return. Indeed that is the curse of
Christmas.
All that is noble, sincere and good
should respond in each soul at this
time--a splendid opportunity to repay
others in some measure for past kind

nesses, tender devotion and loyal sup
port. Perhaps just word of sunshine
to some individual who lies suffer-
ing upon their couch of pain or the
knowledge of having turned some
home of sorrow into joy. Of having
filled some lonely heart with gladness,
should in itself be ample reward.
Wherever burns the fires of charity
and love Christmastide is cherished. 1t
comes like a benediction to bless our
enemies, to Danish a sigh, to hide
tear. A kind word or smile is both
precious and dear. Old age and youth
alike can enjoy this festival of felicity.
The days of some, like fallen autumn
leaves, may have drifted into years
that stand like crumbling ruins over a
buried past, yet they can enter Just as
heartily into the spirit of the day as
those who are tripping lightly to that
summit they have Just passed. So once
more the same old fashioned greeting
is extended in the sane, earnest, whole
hearted way and that is Merry
Christmas, health, wealth and success
to all.
