ESQ Legionnaires
Attend Conference
Al Belle Valley
Posts Represented
Number "a For Very
Successful Meeting

Twenty -four out of the Al
posts in district IL were repre-
sented Sunday when $50 Legion
naires registered for the annual
fall conference held at Belle
Valley with Post 641 as the host.
The highlight of the confer
ence was the address by State
Commander James NJ. Wagon
seller of Lancaster, who spoke
to the legion members on the
recent national convention and
the various important programs
which are being sponsored by
the Legion on national scale.
During the morning session
held at the high school audi
torium, Mayor Roy Seamster
welcomed the district Legion
members to Belle Valley and
Commander Harry Hannum was
in charge of the opening cere-
monies.
One of the highlights of the
day was the parade which NOV
ed from north end Belle Valley
down through town to the high
school building 1t was headed
by the Byesville high school
band. This change was made at
the last minute when the Cald-
well band could not put in their
appearance due to the illness of
several members.
Legion members pointed out
that this was the first parade to
be held in Belle Valley for 20
years or since Armistice Day,
1884, when the C.C.C. held a
celebration there.
The parade included the dis
trict colors, Byesville band, dis
tinguished state and district of
ficers and members of the "a
posts in attendance.
In the afternoon, Cpl. E. l..
Wells of the Cambridge state
highway patrol was an addition
al speaker.
The Legion committee accept
ed the invitation of the Zanes-
vile post to hold their spring
convention in that city.
During the business meeting,
several district committees were
announced, including the place
committee. Members of this in
clude Roy Seamster of Belle
Valley, Hugh Robinson of Dex-
ter City and Lyle Roush of Bev-
erly.
A short but interesting talk
was also given by Mrs. c. F.
Appenzellar of Martins Ferry,
district president of the Auxil-
ary unit.
The luncheon was served at
the grade school cafeteria and
the conference closed with a
social and dance at the Golden
Plaza.

Underwater Swim

Key West acquires a new naval

Enlistment of an underwater
swimmers school on the u. S. Ma

Established by direction of the

to provide them with instruction in
ship bottom and harbor search pro-
cedures.
Commanding the u. S. Naval

as a responsibility to the govern
ment!
On this score, l agree with such
outfits as the Catholics, and the
Seventh Day Adventists - both
groups being as far apart as it is
possible for two religions to be and
still worship the same God. While
I'm not an expert on the tenets of
either church, think I'm safe in
saying that they each place loyalty
to their beliefs above all other mat
tiers. A good Catholic or q good
Seventh Day Adventist doesn't
need passage of civil laws to help
him live a spiritual life.
Education is the answer to ex-
cessive indulgence in alcohol -
education in the spiritual values of
life. That is why I approve so
intellectually of the Seventh Day
Adventists' program which is aim
ed at aiding the drinker spiritual
ly and Intellectually rather than
spending the same amount of
money lobbying" a bill through
Congress which would merely pro.
vide a cloak to hide excessive
drinking by the development of old
time "speak-easies."
The Jews
While speaking of drinking, I've
noticed that the Jews are never
particularly bothered by alcohol
ism amongst faithful adherents to
the synagogue. Why?
! don't know the answer. I've
never been in a synagogue in my
life. 1t seems to me that some of
these churches which have gone so
far along the road toward solving
certain human weaknesses have a
wonderful story to tell.
Someday, perhaps. I'll have the
time and money to devote myself
to such an effort.
In the meantime, as usual on
Saturday, we end this column by
saying: Spend a little time in spi-
ritual meditation over the week

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

Perhaps you noticed an AP news
item few days back concerning
the Seventh Day Adventists' world
conference. "This Rock" was in
terested in 1t because of the prac.
teal manner in which Seventh Day
Adventists live their religion.
Don't get me wrong! I'm not a
member of the church. It wouldn't
have me and / wouldn't have it at
this stage of the game but that
doesn't mean that / can't have
warm admiration for many Of the
church's policies.
A Seventh Day Adventist, DIR. Ar.
thur L. Beltz, cites religious indif-
ference as a major influence in the
breakdown Of the American home.
How true!
He goes further and says that
the large number OF working mo-
theirs tends to make the home only
filling station" where children
are "tanked up" with money, food,
clothing and very little else. Are
you, dear reader, prepared to deny
this fact?'
/ particularly liked the Seventh
Day Adventist temperance organi-
rational plan. Here, in my estima-
ton, is a splendid combination of
the practical with the idealistic.
Elder william A. Scharffenberg
OF Washington, D. c., explained to
the conference that the church had
a $335, 20 budget. This was devot-
ed to two aims - establishment of
temperance societies and conduct
ing a worldwide educational pro-
gram in behalf of abstinence.
AS you know, I'm against church
leaders crying to the Federal gov

laws which will prevent their con.
gregaticn from drinking alcoholic

many religious denominations. If a
church can't control the actions of
its own members, it certainly has
