Incidentally, while the government is bending every effort (to coin a phrase) to encourage enlistâ€" ment in the armed forces, that same government comes up with the news that from now on it is knockâ€" ing out the $1,500 income tax exem; for serviceâ€" men, and that it will now start its tax out of thun’nptydnch.uitdouwithdvflimply- whhee ies The Supreme court knocked out the law on the basis that it is unconstitutional. The authorities should take immediate steps to pass a similar law that will stand up in the courts. We assume that as in the past, the Legion will serve as a rallying point for those forces which will try to see that this is done. ©___ Preparations for the Highland Park Sports show, '}bobeheldatt.heCommunityCenterDec.&dand5 \ are in the final stages of completion, with indications that there will be a minimum of 12 exhibitors. e "SMART"‘ RECRUITING TACTICS The Legion‘s standing answer has been that it knows what happened after World War I, that all it wanted was to establish and nail down veterans‘ rights so that the same thing should not happen after World War IL Certain other organizations have, on occasion, cast a disparaging eye on the Legion‘s legislative acâ€" tivities. These organizations, perhaps more idealistic than the Legion, certainly more starryâ€"eyed, have criticized the Legion for being "grabby." If any of the guys who left home a few years ago, their ears ringing with cheers and the assurâ€" ances that "nothing is too good for ‘Our Boys‘ " have any illusions left as to the permanency of those assurâ€" ances, said illusions must have received a rude jolt with the news that the State Supreme court has wiped out the legislation which added credit for military service to the scores of exâ€"servicemen taking civil service examinations. , And, if there is one organization that has a right to lean back and say, "Well boys, we told you so," it is The American Legion. Many years ago an eminent British warrior (Lord Marlborough we believe) wrote the following bitter lines: § God and the soldier we adore, In times of dangerâ€"not before. The danger past, and all things righted, God is forgotten and the soldier slighted. A little more than three years ago, an old line army sergeant, with no illusions, commented, when informed that the Japanese had surrendered, "Soâ€" the war is over and a soldier‘s a bum again." The disinterested might argue that Highland Park could "get along" without a sports show, but any such event which, by calling for cooperation from diverse groups in the community, tends to strengthen the bonds of acquaintanceship and interest among them, is a municipal »sset, and is worthy of cityâ€"wide support. s °e THE SOLDIER AND THE Â¥ETERAN It is to be hoped that this event, which is being sponsored by the Highland Park Lions club, will meet with a reception sufficiently favorable to insure its annual appearance. * THE SPORTS SHOW last week in a ceremony at the hospital previously pledged a contribution of twenty bassinettes for the nursery in the Highland Park Hospital, formally ln-e-u‘: its ¢ Vol. No. 38; No. 40 The Highland Park Post of the }:_Scrgu,themhomlndlnldlc’la Up To Now By Bill Thomas The Highbland Park Press | its check A Paper for Highland Parkers ® Published by Highland Parkers Bethany, Nov.
