Happening. A. The Post Meeting .

Happenings A. The Post Meeting:
The Post is moving right along
with its 1SS4-1955 year and many
Of the programs are being planned
for early. Acting Post Commander
NJ. E. Lewis is doing a fine job
subbing for Post Commander Nor
man Kranich who is still confined
to bed In the Pratt Veterans Hos.
pital in Coral Gables. We hope that
Norm will be with US soon.
Laurels to Lewis for carrying on
in the style of a good Legionnaire.
/ personally think he is doing a
good job and will continue to do
so. He must, as he says though,
have the help of all Legionnaires
to do his job right.
Something has been brought to
my attention a couple of times and
have let is slip by me before but
now l have my thoughts on it.
Perhaps most of you know about
the Bookmobile for Children that
is going through the city. Well, they
are in need of more books, so if
any of you LegionnaireS have any
books for children to donate please
contact the Post or any Legion
naire you know and have your
books turned over to Acting Post
Commander Lewis who viii see
that they get to the right party.
This, in my opinion, is 4 very
worthwhile project and l would
like to see some of you Legion
naires help out. Please look around
your closets and atticS and see if
you don't have some good books
for children that you aren't using.
They can be used very well by
our younger set at this time.
This writer shouldn't complain
about the lack of attendance at
the last meeting because he wasn't
there himself (due to working that
night but from the reports that
got there was just enough to have
q quorum for the meeting.

right neglect or laIiness, then there
is no excuse. How about giving it
= little thought and attend the next
meeting?
We always hold our meetings on
the and and 4th Wednesday of each
month, so that shouldn't be hard
to remember. Unless you attend
the meetings you haven't any idea
of the enormous program we try
TO carry out. If you attend then

Immediately after the colors
have been advanced to the ros.

is a wonderful idea.

They have one of the largest Jobs

function or ceremony. At the last
regular meeting they were pub

and Is In a London Salvation Army
hotel seems to prove it can curb de-
linquency.
Previously the girls lived on the
poorest possible type of meal: white
bread and margarine, cheap jam, lots
of sweet tea, timed and processed
meats. Fish and chips had been their
most nutritious meals.
But year ago their diet was
changed to raw fruits, nuts. vegetables,
salads, whole wheat bread, dates,
prunes, figs. honey. cheese, meat, fish,
eggs, crushed wheat and oatmeal.
And this is what happened: They
became less aggressive and less quar-
relsome, bad habits seemed to disap-
pear. problem children became less of
problem and bored ones lost their
boredom.
Physically they improved almost be-
yond recognition.
"A spokesman said. 1T is amazing to
see the difference in their compilations,
general brightness and poise. But the
difference in their behavior is the most
significant. The part the diet has
played in their personalities is undeni-
able"
Children like attention, but they
really wish to be good. Let's give them
a chance by helping them know which
foods will build strong bodies and keen
minds. Esther McCrOSsan.
