More Members
Is Theme Of
Legion Meeting
A discussion of the need for
bringing more former service
men into the American Legion,
and the benefits of being a
Legionnaire featured the February
meeting of Limer Post
No. 25. The meeting was held
at the Lions Den on Feb. 12
with Adjutant Leland Gottschalk
presiding.
Limer Post No. 25 is in the
process of a membership drive
and in its promotion Gottschalk
had mailed a letter to a number
of Legionnaires and other
former service men asking that
they join the Legion and assist
in its work.
Following the reading of this
letter by the adjutant, Legionnaires
present went on record
as not only approving the
letter, but in making a request
that it be published in The
Warren Record. A copy of the
letter was made available to the
newspaper Monday morning.
Addressed to Comrade, and
signed by Adjutant Gottschalk,
the letter reads as follows:
"The American Legion is
looking for new members for
this great organization that
does so much for so many. I
realize that you may already be
heavily committed, but I know
of no other organization that
offers so much security for your
widows and children in the way
of pensions and educational
benefits as well as low cost
insurance, G. I. education,
hospital and medical care,
supplement pensions, etc., for
yourself.
"If you fully understood the
needs and the struggle that the
early veteran had in building
this great organization and
what your many benefits are
today, I'm sure that you would
want to be a part of making this
a great year for us. So far it has
been a very exciting year and
very fittingly so With this being
a year of dedication to the
greatness of this nation. We
also will be having a birthday
this year, our fifty-seventh on
March 15; and it is only through
your help that we can remain
healthy and enjoy another
fifty-seven years of growth and
strength.
"On the national level the
American Legion has pledged
over a million dollars to cancer
research in and above what
your local cancer drive will
provide. On the state level the
American Legion will provide
one half of the funds for
building a $185,000 all-faiths
chapel at the North Carolina
Memorial Hospital at Chapel
Hill. On the community level
we send three boys to Boys
State each year to learn all they
can about the different levels of
government because they will
be the ones that we will be
looking to in the future for our
hopes and good government."

Roses Should Go
In Sunny Site
While making your gardening
and landscaping plans this
winter, consider the rose. This
is the most popular of all
flowers and usually has a place
around any home.
If you're starting from
scratch with roses, here are a
few suggestions from North
Carolina State University
Extension horticulturists regarding
basic requirements:
—Plant roses in deep, rich
loamy soil for best results.
—The soil should be well
drained and located in a sunny
spot.
—Provide plenty of water
during the growing season and
be sure there is adequate plant
food available at all times.
It's best to be highly
selective in picking the initial
planting site, and choose one
that meets each of the requirements
listed.
The sunny exposure is
important, the NCSU specialists
point out, but roses will do
fairly well with partial shade.
They should be in the sun at
least half the day and
preferably three-fourths of the
day.
Youcan't do better.
