138, American Legion of Roxboro
bagsn the new year December first
1924. We hare secured new and more
suitable quarters for our club room,
and hope to have everything in good
condition before Xmas. We enpect
to have a-feed at the club room sometime
between iXmas and the New
Year and want every mbmber present.
There are 450 Ex-Service men in
(Person County but only a small percent
of these are members of the
American Legion. I presume all the
non-mmrtbers have their excuses for
staying out of the Legion but 1 hare
the first sane excuse yet to hear.
Somb may say that the Legion does
not amount to anything. I am sure
this would be the case if all Ex Soldiers
thought so. A kit of carpenters
tools would be worthless unless they
could he used. The American Legion
is also useless until we put it to
some use. (The Balaker never pays
you any interest until you have deposited
money in his bank. Kb secret
or frateSnal order, church or
club gives you any great benefit until
you have (put something into
them. The same thing applies tto
our laves. Msj^e sfnd. pine around
like a sick kitten and tell all your
friends (if you have any) that this
old world owes you a living and see
how far you will get. Uutil you put
forth an effort to do somthing, you
win get about as far as Jonah got
when he tried to loaf on the job.
You'll get swallowed but not by a
whale. The 'Legion is like all other
organisations, give us sotne of the
principal and we will return same
with usury. If you do not" need) any
help jofci us and do a little missionary
work Und help us. If you need |
us we will be glad to he(p you all!
we can, for we realize in helping1!
others* we help ourselves aa well
as the community. x V-. |
Why cant we help jwul We have
one of the largest qnd strongest,
organizations in this country to-day.
We have men who fought for your I
)Flag and mi^e and are willing. to
fight again for any good cause. Any
red blooded man should be proud to
be a member of an organization;
backed by the brains that won the I
greatest war in the history of the
world.
The reasons for the existence of
the American. Legion are:
To uphold and defend the Constitution
of the United States of America;
to maintain law and order; to foster
and perpetuate a one hundred pencent
Americanism; to preserve the
memories end incidents of our association
in the Great War; to inculcate
a sense of individual obligation
"to the community, state and
nation, to combat the autocracy of
both the classes and the maasees; to
make right the master of might; to
promote peace and good will on
posterity the principles of justice,
freedom and democracy; to ' cotnsecrdte
and sanctify our comradeship
hv our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
If you want any information concerning
the Legion I shall be glad
to give you same or get it for you.!
Any disabled Ex-Soldier that is not!
receiving (proper core , from the)
government will notify the Comman-'
der or *Adjutant so the matter can bei
called to the attention of the prop-;
er authorities. * j
