Ex-Service Men See
Need To Organize

as citizens than can be acquired in q
lifetime Of civilian pursuits.
These ideals Of citizenship and SER
vice should be encouraged to grow, not
TO stagnatc.
In every community where the
veterans have had q live organization
many worthy projects have been car
ried out for the benefit Of the COM
munity and to the lasting good Of the
members, Every one can call to mind
some instance where the press dis
patches tell Of catastrophes where the
local veterans saved the day by being
on the Job, they being the only group
available familiar with disciplined
action.
We all hope that our fair Island
shall never see-the day that the SER
vice men shall be needed for any cause
such as above mentioned but there are
many things needed on the Island that
only a service group can do. Besides
the care Of the graves of the old G..
A, r. veterans at our cemetery, there
are the school properties needing things
beyond the ability Of the taxpayers
and other public needs. I do not
mean that the service men are strong
enough TO do these things alone but
that they furnish the necessary
leadership and inspiration to see that
they are done. Their bond of unity
is not sectional which would mean
that they are the logical nucleus
around which could center the Island
wide efforts Of service.
AS to local organization of
veterans unaffiliated with national
organization would be in favor of
1t If that would be the best we could
get, but if possible I would prefer to
have national affiliation. The men,
bership in national organization
makes for continuity Of interest. A
purely local organization might put
so much into one effort that they
would grow tired and lose interest.
The contact with other organizations
similarly situated would be of great
help to the local organization. The
dues in these organizations are not
high and only the smaller part goes
to national effort. The greatest eff
forts of members are in doing things
for local community beyond what they
pay in dues.
Local service men should get to-
gether now in some organization or
other. To fail to organize for COM
munity service now appears to me as
great a failure as had they failed to
answer the call in 19l7-19l8, the
penalty being not SO great or sudden
but nevertheless sure.

To the Editor vashon Island News
Record:
1t has come to my attention that an
effort to gather the ex-service men Of
the Island for a particular civic job
has resulted in quite a bit of dis
cussion pro and con for organizing
the local veterans into a club. With
your kind Indulgence I would like to
express my IDEAS Of such action.
am most heartily in favor Of the
veterans resident upon the Island
forming some sort of an organization
Every man who was called upon to
serve under the colors during wartime
found himself peculiarly situated. To
adjust himself properly he had to look
at things from an impersonal angle.
He had ceased to function as an in
dividual, had to subordinate his in
dividual desires and look toward the
common good. If he were a thinking
man he formed a new philosophy Of
life. Government ceased to be an abb
stract idea and became a real entity,
and he an integral part of it. 1t is
true that some failed to adjust them
selves, and came out of the service
suffering from wounded ego, many
of these now clamoring loudly for
financial reimbursement for the in
convenience or suffering that was
pressed upon them. Nevertheless the
great majority came through the
mental stress Of wartime service with
higher and nobler ideas of their status

Disraeli's description Of John Stuart
Mill as finishing governess, and the
saying, usually attributed to Lord Bal

little more brains, he might be de-

acid comment from an unexpected

was shut SO he heard nothing more
till Diana's terrified scream rent the
silence, followed by that piteous cry
upon his name.

Rathbone was out in the hall almost
before it had died away, but even then,
Tor an instant, in the dim light he
could hardly understand what was hap
pening
Servants were rushing from other
parts OF the house, but it was Rathbone
who dragged Nero away, almost throt-
ting him in his iron grip, Rathbone who
throwing the dog aside into someone
else's custody, lifted Diana in his arms.
aOh, my-God!'
She looked up at him, her eyes half
mad with terror, then with a little
conclusive gesture she put her LAGER
ated arms round his neck, clinging 10
him desperately for one heartbreaking
monet before she tainted.
He carried her into the study and
laid her on the couch; his face was
gray, and his breath came tearing from
him as if it were he who was suffering
and not she.
The chauffeur was in the room now,
and the housekeeper, a middle-aged
woman with quiet capable face; and
seeing that for a moment at least Rath-
bone was utterly unnerved, she
fetched water and brandy and gently
gathed Dianas face and bleeding arms.
1t seemed an eternity to those around
before she stirred little and then
opened her eyes; eyes still so terrified
and wild that 1t was almost unbear-
able when she started up, crying and
moaning afresh:
Donald Donald . Save me!''
He went on his knees beside her.
ITS all right I'm here J. don't

it's all right I'm here !. you're

He put his hand over her eyes for an
instant as if to wipe the last terrible
moments from her memory, but she
pushed him away, crying out like
frightened child
