How we will miss such a devoted and comforting Upon the completion of the Old Year's work, as we look for ward with confidence to the New Year, The Shaw Post American Legion wishes to express it's ap preciation for the splendid co operation it has received from the people of Weldon and Hali fax County. Owing to the leading part The American Legion has taken in our Armistice day celebrations, some of our people 3eem to think that the prime objective of the Legion is to celebrate on Armis tice and Memorial Days. It is true that the Legion con ducts Memorial day ceremonies everywhere in the United States. The Legion on Memorial Day sees that the grave of every Ameri can soldier and sailor in France, Belgium, England, and Italy is decorated with the American flag and flowers. But that is not all. The Le gion is a vigoreous seven-days-a- week force in the affairs of thou sands of American towns and cities. It takes an active interest in public affairs and works for civic improvements, righting in every good cause, co-operating with other organizations, seeking to make America a better country in which to live. The Legion maintains a Nat ional Americanism Commission with branches in all the States which is working for improved schools and for better public edu cation in general for a wider understanding of duties and obli gations of citizenship, and for the higher development of the spirit of loyalty and patriotism among all classes. ' In a recent letter Genera! John J. Pershing said "The American Legion now occupies such im portant position in the country that it is highly important that all who are eligible should become members and lend their guidance and influence to the affairs of this most representative organi zation of the best blood of Ameri ca." The Legion is absolutely non political and is composed of ex service men of all political par ties, all religious faiths, all trades, professions and occupations, all stations of life. Mr. and Mr3. Ellis H. Joyner spent several days in Greenville this week. Mr Jerman Boyd spent the holidays with relatives in Wrar renton. Miss Florence Bingham visited friends in Raleigh during the holidays.
