ATTY A. B. MERCER SPEAKS
AT FLAG RAISING

Atty A. B. Bercer was the prin-
cipal speaker at the flag raising at
Glouster, Armistice day. The pro-
gram was scheduled to be held on
the square, but because Of the rain
was changed to the high school
auditorium The Glouster Press
gave Mr.. MERGERS address the fea-
ture article on the front page. We
quote from the address, as pub
lished: "We owe debt of graft
tude for the example of citizenship
set up by the American soldier af-
ter his return from the World war"
Atty Mercer declared the Amer
ican soldier was the best in the
world, and then told of the work
being done by the American Legion
to drive out communists from our
federal payroll, which contains some
5000 believers in that form of gov
ernment. The United States must
adopt and follow the recommends
ton of the American Legion of
long years standing, and that is to
have a strong and adequate defense
policy. American Legionnaires and
war veterans are not at fault, Mer-
Ger charged, in discussing our lack
of preparedness. Blame for all Of
it was placed at the feet of poll

WELCOME HOME AFFAIR FOR
MAGICIAN BIRCH

Plans are rapidly taking shape to
make the performance of Magician
G. Mcdonald Birch and company,
scheduled for next Wednesday ev-
ening, Nov. 27, "Welcome Home"
affair. Although it will not be too
long to interfere with the evening
of fun and mystifying magical en-
tertainment. The magician will re-
ceive an official welcome from
Mayor John S. Mcbride, on the
stage before he opens his "Show OF
Wonders.
The program will be in keeping
with acclaim Birch has received in
the years since he first began to
give magic shows as student in
high school. During the past year,
it will be recalled, he was called
one of the worlds greatest ma
gicians by John Mulholland, editor
of Sphinx, author and himself a
magician of ability. Since his ap-
pearance on the old Chauatauqua
stage II years ago, when Thurston
predicted a brilliant future for him,
Birch has risen steadily in the mag
ical world, according to show peo-
pie, and today boast, and has the
largest show, on the American road,
his equipment weighing four tons.
The Elliott Coal e Lumber Yard
has accepted the magician's chal-
lenge to build box for his famous
box escape trick and this will be
on display in a few days on the
court house lawn.
The Birches will present their en-
tire show at the two performances,
the special matinee for school chill
dren in the afternoon at 2:30, and
at the evening performance which
will open at 7:30. Among the
tricks in the Birch repertoire which
have made his name famous
throughout the country and which
he will present are the Vanishing
Pony, the Hindu rope trick, slicing
a beautiful girl into pieces and
magically resuscitating her, and
dozens of other intricate magical
feats.

FOUR MEN VOLUNTEER
FOR ARMY SERVICE

The Morgan county draft board
has received the enlistment of four
young men of this county, for VOL
unteer army service. They are Don
aid Duvall of this place; Dale Muir
ply, GlouSter route two; Clayton

route, and Herman Lee Merrill, Nc
Connelsville. They have taken their
physical examination, but reports of
same have not been received.
The first draft quota for this
county is but three, and since four
have volunteered, it is not likely
that any one will be drafted for the
first call. We understand that in
the event not enough of the young
men who have volunteered pass
their physical examinations, that
there are others who will volunteer
The volunteers will be taken to
Fort Hayes, Columbus, perhaps
Tuesday, Nov. 28. After a certain
routine there they will likely be
sent to Fort Shelby, Miss, for a

hour, let us pray
Almighty God, who hast given
us this good land for our heritage;
we humbly beseech thee that we
may always prove ourselves peo-
pie mindful of thy favor and glad
to do thy will. Bless our land with
honorable industry, sound learning,
and pure manners.
"Save us from violence, discord,
and confusion; from pride and az
! rogancy, and from every evil way.
, Defend our liberties, and fashion
into one united people the multi
tudes brought hither out of many
kindreds and tongues.
Endure with the spirit of wis
dom those to whom in thy name we
entrust the authority of govern
ment that there may be justice and
peace at home, and that through
obedience to thy law, we may show
forth thy praise among the nations
of the earth. In the time of pros
perity, fill our hearts with thank
fulness, and in the day of trouble
suffer not our trust in thee to fail;
amen"
