 peal for Army, Navy

Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston acted as the chairman of the Navy emergency relief fund committee which last evening staged a color guard display of the American colors by the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and their auXillarieS.
 Preceding this a trailer showing Gary Cooper the actor, pleading for the cause, was shown. This was fol- lowed by the playing of the Star Spangled Banner.
 MT. Ryan introduced Walter Cot- trell, commander of the American Legion post, who spoke briefly on the need for a relief fund to care for the families of those men who may be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice in this war. He extended an invitation to the public to attend the installation of officers of the American Legion on Tuesday evening.
 MT. Ryan was extended prolonged applause when he spoke and urged the overflow audience packed into the Park Theater to Give and give and give"
 we are in a wal which none of us wanted. But by the grace of God we shall win this war. It becomes the duty of every patriotic Ameri- can to do whatever they can in this war effort. There are those who might be flag wavers, there are those who might be merely talking war, but let us hope that those people are mighty few. In this aud- fence, in this town of Thomaston we have no such people. We are in this war to win. We realize what sacrifices we may be called upon to make, but we will make them willingly.
 There are thousands of our men, the flower of our nation, your friends and my friends, who have already laid down their lives that our kind of government shall be preserved. That America shall ol- ways remain the great and glorious nation we know 1t to be.
 ''Yes, while many are giving their life blood, we ask you only to give financial aid to this emergency re- lief fund. Give, give and give"
