The meeting of Monday evening, April 14, was a wonderful success. There were eighty present representing in addition to members of Wilmette Post represent atives from the following posts : General John J. Swift Post. Peter J. Heurter Post. Evanston Post. Seventh District, Department of Illinois, American Legion. The "professor" sure did change the spots in the cards and we are sure that all present enjoyed the Hawaiian and his music. The whole evening was a delight to all present and it is hoped they will tell the story to those members missing. The Ladies Auxiliary was out in great style and as usual were ready and willing to handle the matter of refreshments. We wish to thank all those in any measure responsible for the success of the evening. It sure showed thought and hard work. Mr. Watkins sounded off our sentiments as to the reason for the American Le~Zion and ali you Buddies who are eligible for membership should have been present to hear him. The Legion must carry on now as never before. Agencies are ever at work whose sole object and purpose is to undermine the principles and precepts fought for and preserved through the times of stress and trouble in the nation. The G. A. R. and The American Lep-ion are the only organizations up and goiru~ with the one purpose in mind of teaching and nreachin$1' such doctrine and the defense and respect to the flag and constitution of this nation. The G. A. R. must give up. Their work has been nobly done. Look ahead 'B uddy fifty or sixty vears. Are you 1;wing to be one of the Legion who by example and word of mouth :tre $!i,·ing the message of the G. A. R. today to the younger generation of that future time. Think it over.
