jutant of the Legion.
Mr.. LindelPs talk was straight tc
the point He reviewed the work done
by the soldier in the several wars OF
the country and spoke at some length
on the duties Of the citizen towards
this country. The election of 1T Off
Gals to serve the nation was stressed
and the duties of the people in see
ing that such were placed in Office
He also called attention to the fact
that while the service man gave al
for the country, many of those who
enjoyed the. freedom won by these
same soldiers, were not interested
enough to even get out and vote He
also called attention to the younger
generation and their duty towards the
country and the flag. He characterized
the flag as not being made up of
blood Of the American citizens
