DICKENS THE AMERICAN LEGION MEMO RIAL CUP Soon alter the cloae of the World war * rniuMf of Taurine organized a unit of the American Legion in Louisburg. Since its organization the Jambes Post has engaged in man) and varied activities about which the public generally know very little. There are two things about our lo cal post -which it seems would, be at thsis time desirable to give the aver age citizen of Frahklln County soma infornmtloii 1 First:-The question of a' name for the local post. The name J-A-M-B-E-S sounds meaningless to one who does n't know' Its real significance. The word la composed of the first letter of the surnames of the following men: Jessie Joyner, Albert Ayscue, Willie Macon, Sidney Burnette, Dave Elliag lou and Ngt Strickland. Nw tt? qmg'1 t'.on naturally Arises, who are these men? They are the six members of the old .Company "D" of LouisbuTg who "went west" on Flanders Fields. These are not all of the men from Franklin county -who -paid th? su preme price In the war, nor were the deeds of the others less glorious, but these being what we felt like were 1 Louisburg's very own, were given the 1 preference in naming our local post, and through honor tn them It m sought to pay homage and honor to every man from Franklin Connty whe did his bit In that struggle. After the organization of the local post one of the first Ideas advanced by its membeii was the erection of a suitable monument to comnemoi. ate the memory of every one of Frank lln Countys sons who died in the world war. With a burning desire .u the hearts of. the Legion to build a real monument to the memory of those whom It sought to honor the ldea of providing a Legion Memorial Cup was devised. The Legion has purchased a beautiful cup, one of which any school in the State of North Caroline would i o proud, and also a gold msd al to lie awarded to the individual -pupil V*bo produces the winning es say on some subject to be 3alected by the Legion. All the high schools in iLc county are asked to contost for this cup, which will be held by the rehool winning it for one year, or until it has been 4cst"to a competi tor. The cleisiis of this contest will be gh.dly furnished to any high school upon request. The purpose and desire of t^e Le gion Is to discard the Idea of buildv 1ng monuments of marble and gran ite, which will crumple into duBt and fade away, and be forgotten with tho passing cf the years. But the yearn ing desire and hope of thy Legion is that they may build to the memory of their valorous comrades a teal monu ment; founded and Imbedded In the hekrti, lives and characters of the school children of Franklin County, who are to be the guardians of hei future, and we know that when we have thus bullded we have left a real monument to their memory, one that ravages of time cannot Impair not the ceaseless edng of - eternity de stroy.
