that families on fixed incomes will

Still this worthy group has only reached

any amount of productive consistency.
Can we not awaken to this realization?
We can be strong; we have the people; the
support; if we would only unite our eff

We are capable, that has been proven,
we have the necessities, we only lack the

"3feuo Of tie 2leek"

Our hero for this week, EDMUND
NEHMEY HOLLOW, will be remembered
in the annals of American warfare as a
soldier whose bravery was recognized and
acknowledged by all of the military.
He ived with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nehmey Hollow of Detroit, who nave
since moved to Arizona. They are from the
town of DgeZzine in Lebanon.
Edmund enlisted in the early months of
1914, leaving school while still a young
man of 20.
Shortly after a brief training period
here in the states, he left for the Theatre
of Operations in Germany"
1t was in Belgium during the Battle of
the Bulge, that he notched his mark in
soldiers hall of fame.
For wounds in battle, the Purple Heart
was accorded him and various letters of
recommendations for gallantry under fire.
He was well adept in using the bayonet,
and proved himself at such when in a hand
to hand tussle with a German Captain, he
bested this opponent, who paid the price
of death in his fight with this heroic sol
der.
On another occasion, his bayonet artist
ry and battle %maneuvering enabled him to
single handedly capture seven Germans.
However; fate entered at this moment, in
to the life of Edmund Hollow.

UNITY'S TRIUMPH

"In Unity there is strength" no truef
words were ever phrased whereas unity
has always succeeded, while the sololsts
have failed.
A recent issue of the Guide mentioned
of a "Cpl. Chas. Koury V. F. w: Post 1888,
which was founded by a small group, Oh
the friends of our deceased hero "Chas
Koury". -.
Not only nave they formed this post IN
his honor, they nave also purchased a
tract of land for the site of a ORlAL
HOME to house the members of this post.
This is an honor bestowed upon one OF
our own heritage, of which we should feel
proud. Furthermore; and of more lasting
Importance it is an explicit example OF
the fruits which are always realized when
a number of individuals will merge their
thoughts and efforts towards the same
goal.
We, of our heritage have sought a Com
munity Center; a Memorial In dedication
to those gallant heroes who rendered
their services and paid the extreme sac
rifice to maintain our standards of free
dom.
Can anyone explain the delay or the
obstacles which are confronting this
movement?
WHY is it that we, as strong as we are
POTENTIALLY ,have not so much as ta'
ken the initial step towards this accom-
%plishment?
HOPEFUL DREAMS? Is this all that we
can produce?
