USWV, Auxiliary Have Serious Talk as
Way of Celebration of End of War
Forty-seven years ago another
war was being fought by the
United States. It, too, involved
the great distances and the dif
ficulties of the far east.
Last night a group of veterans
ot that war and the auxiliary to
their organization met to consid
er the old days and to ponder
what may happen in the peace
which has now returned.
These members of the Unite'd
Spanish War Veterans and aux
iliary met last night at the home
of Mrs. A. P. Nelson. The meet
ing had been set for 8 p. m., but,
havng associated for years almost
like brothers and sisters, several
families came to Mrs. Nelson's
home unexpectedly for a potluck
supper. '
At 8 p. m., the rest or the group
arrived. Early arrivals were Mr.
and Mrs. W. E. Ross, J. G. Henry,
9dolph Sonnenburg and Mrs. Ma
rian Jordan.
The group discussed the sim
ilarities of the men who came
back "then" and in 1918 and
those who are coming back now.
Their talk of the future, they
agreed, boils down to what every
one else thinks of the future: "No
one knows."
Th eir .celebration of victory,
members said, was of a very ser
ious and thoughtful sort. Mothers
with sons in service were there
and were too deeply happy the
war has ended to think of much
else.
Refreshments were served late
in the evening by Mrs. Florence
Prescolt and Mrs. Jordan.
Next meeting of the USWV
and auxiliary will be the quarter
ly session, Sept. 11.
