GOVERNOR NAMES AMERICAN
LEGION WEEK NOV. 11.1z

| LEGION WEEK NOV. 11-17
Governor Ritchie last week called
upon the citizens of this state to as
sist the American Legion and the
Legion Auxiliary in preparing for
the greatest year of-service in the
history of the Legion, according to
Department Commander Smith by
observing November 11-17 as Amer
lean Legion week. The Governor
issued proclamation, in which he
called attention to the effort, during
American Legion week, of the two
organizations renewing early their
full strength for 1929 in order that
work on the big objectives OF the
Legion can be started with the en-
tire force of the membership Of the
present year. The membership this
year is the greatest since 1921.
The proclamation declared the
people of this State appreciate the
work that is being carried on by
these two service organization and
that the people are anxious that it
shall be continued.
1T was ten years ago that this na-
tion saw the birth of an organiza-
tion that was destined to become
one of most outstanding patriotic
forces that the world has ever
known, an organization dedicated to
the glorious service of God and
country The American Legion
was conceived by the men who hon
orably served their country in the
World war and who desired to con-
tinue, in some manner, that same
service in time of peace.
1.-THE American Legion in the first
decade of it's history has by it's great
program of unselfish service to COM
m1lnity, State and Nation, well DEM
onstrated to the people of America,
that it is a power for good. It has
made provisions for the treatment
and rehabilitation of those who were
disabled in the great conflict, looked
after the welfare of the children who
were left fatherless in the wake OF
the war, exerted it's every energy
towards the promotion of the best
interest of the nation and IN the
promulgation of those splendid
principles of citizenship on which our
nation was founded.
Associated with the Legion in
this great work is the American
Legion Auxiliary, composed of the
mothers, sisters, daughters and
wives of Legionnares. I'm numbers
there is strength" and these two or
ganizations have set aside one week,
November 11-17, when every effort
will be made to have paid up for
1929 the dues of all who are 1928
members, in order that the full
strength of the Legion and Auxil-
iary can thus early be put to work
on the great objectives of the COM
ing year."

MANY DUCKS ON THE SUSQUE-
HANNA FLATS

The 1928 season for duck shoot
ing on the Susquehanna flats open
ed last Friday at sunrise and local
gunners claim that never before at
the beginning of the season have
ducks of all kinds--convasbacks,
redheads and blackheads-been so
numerous. Wild geese also have
come down from the North in great
quantities.
The great increase in wild fowl is
due to the existing treaty between
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain, which prohibits the selling
of wild fowl or the taking OF their
eggs during the summer months
after the ducks completed their
Northern fight.
