He must, as he says though, | have the help of all Legionnaires to do his job right. Something has been brought to | my attention a couple of times and { I have let is slip by me before but now I have my thoughts on it. Perhaps most of you know about | the Bookmobile for Children that is going through the city. Well, they are in need of more books, so if} any of you Legionnaires have any | books for children to donate please | contact the Post or any Legion-| naire you know and have your) books turned over to Acting Post} Commander Lewis who will see that they get to the right party. | This, in my opinion, is a very} worthwhile project and I would like to see some of you Legion- | naires help out. Please look around | your closets and attics and see if you don't have some good books | for children that you aren’t using. | They can be used well by| our younger set at this time. This writer shouldn’t complain | about the lack of attendance at the last meeting because he wasn’t there himself (due to working that night) but from the reports that I! got there was just enough to have | a quorum for the meeting. I think each of you who did go should be complimented but those that didn’t go should be ashamed. You can always excuse someone for illness or their working condi- tions but when it comes to down-| right neglect or laziness, then there | is no excuse.
