Columbus, O., May 80 think
that everyone will join me in say
ing that the Saxon Veteran bau-
qeut and dance held last Sunday
evening at the lroatian Hall for
our boys. was great success The
meal was delicious. and enjoyed
by everyone. The program was
short but very interesting. The
main speaker, Mr.. ]. X. .Strobel,
Director of Vocational Educa-
ton. of the State Department OF
Education gave a interesting talk
about the G.. /. Bill OF Rights,
which told our boys, parents and
trends many interesting things.
Some of the boys even remarked
that they learned more from tie
talk that Mr.. Strobel gave than
they learned all the years they
were in the service. Rev. Heuer
gave brief talk in memory OF
our Saxon son. Michael Lochner.
who gave his life for our country.
After the banquet everyone en-
joyed the remainder of the eve
ming dancing. The orchestra was
extra special, since we had both
American and Polkas, Waltzes
and other favorites. Our one ia
vorite which we have not had
for years was the old faithful

truthfully say that everyone had
an enjoyable evening and that
