(Continued from Page One)
i classified the Legion as peace
j loving but determined to work
! for an adequate national defense
j j pared so this for country if it would should be pre
war come.
He also said the Legion stood
for a universal service act in that
the money and resources of this
country could be conscripted as
! well as manpower in case of war.
He said he could see no sense in
n -eating millionaires by the score
while hundreds gave up their all
battlefields, .
nn
He cautioned the members of
the Legion against school teach
ers teaching un-American propa
ganda in schools, illustrating by
example the effects of such
teachings. The Legion is sponsor
ing oratorical contests throughout
the state that the pupils in school
may learn more the significance
of patriotism and be less easily
swayed by teachers who try to
teach un-American propaganda.
Commander Brown stated he
wanted every Legionnaire to get
behind House Bill No. 9000, a bill
to care for the widows and de
pendents of World War heroes,
and see that it was brought be
fore the Congress and enacted in
to law.
He also commented upon the
fact there was no Legion Auxil
iary and expressed a desire that
one would be organized in the lo
cal club in the near future.
In closing he stated that the
State of Georgia was in the lead
at present in membership, having
15,201 members and expressed
the desire that Georgia would con
tinue in the lead that it may be
the leader in the parade at the
next national convention in Bos
ton and have an opportunity to
pay tribute to Miss Molena Mi
chael, the “Poppy Lady’’ who was !
the first to suggest the observance j
of Poppy Day for American Dis
abled War Veterans.
Commander Moodv Summers in
closing expressed his apprecia
t ion of the remarks of the state
, commander and expressed the de
sire that he visit the club again in
the near future.

To An Admirer
I thank you for your compliment,
I am mighty proud you liked my
song;
Some other bits of joy I’ve sent
To help another soul along,
I do strive hard to find the say
That will help to drive your cares
away;
And leave you thoughts to lift you
high . . .
You'll love me for it, by and by.
Each time I make another friend
I’m richer by a million marks;
For friends are lovely thoughts
that blend
As they travel with me in life's
park.
I need them when I'm sort of
blue,
I need them when I’m happy, too;
I need them as I climb life’s hills.
Each one is but a million thrills.
Each one puts flowers in my way.
