vision in the anvance against the
enemy from September 12 to 14,
1918, which resulted in the cutting
off of the St. Mihiel salient, by the
march to Vigneulles and Hatton-
chatel, the following named officers
and men, by their acts of personal
bravery and devotion to the common
cause, have again upheld the tradi
tions of the American people, en
hanced the already brilliant record of
this division, and have proven the
sterling qualities of the American
soldier.
“The division commander takes this
means of expressing his gratitude
and appreciation of the gallant deeds

A delicious lunch was served at 4
o’clock. Those attending were the
Mesdames Hubler, Rust, Marshall,
Mr. and Mrs. T. C. McSloy, Mr.
Raybum, Hadley, Walrod, Warde, and Mrs. Will Woodworth an«l Mr.
Norburg, Essig, Tussey and the hos and Mrs. Orton went out to Eagle
tess.
Creek last Sunday on a fishing trip.
At the Arlet* Library Monday eve
ning an enthusiastic meeting was
held which included a representative
from practically every voting pre
cinct in the Mt. Scott district. The
consensus of opinion of those present
was that this district would surely
not fail to raise the money necessary
to secure a community secretary who
woul«l come into the district to help
put on a constructive program for
our boys.
P. A. Kennedy, the campaign man
ager, who is giving full time, includ
ing the use of his machine, to the
putting over of this drive, announced
the various captains who had defi
nitely accepted responsibility for can
vassing their respective precincts.
The list of captains follows:
113. W. H. Wood.
114. Not definitely accepted.
115. Mrs. C. B. Ostenson.
116. John Ricketts.
117. East half—Mrs. G. W. Sny
der.
117. West half—Mrs. E. A. Coch
ran.
118. Rev. E. A. Smith.
119. H. R. Scheuerman.
120. Ralph Stanz.
121. Dr. C. S. Ogsbury. _
122. Mrs. Routan.
123. J. A. Dunbar.
123^. Mrs. E. Hauken.
124. Mrs. A. Handsaker.
125. Mrs. S. I. Payne.

Brentwood, Mrs. E. Kinderman.
Mrs. D. B. Leslie.

of those in their district who have
had experience in former drives and
who are particularly interested la
doing something for the boys. Full
information has been given the cap-
tains, subscription cards, receipt
books, folders explaining the purpose
of the drive, etc., are in their pos
session. Work of canvassing will
start at once so as to be well started
by Monday, the opening of the cam
paign.
I-ast Wednesday evening the Ma
sonic lodge of Lents voted to start
th«- subscriptions by a pledge of
$100. Another good friend of the
boys has donated the use of a large
tent with fly and a refrigerator for
the use of the boys during the sum
mer.
All captains and workers are to
meet at 7:30 p. m. Monday evening,
June 2, at the Arleta library to re
ceive final instructions and hit the
trail for their quota. It is expected
that by Friday evening the full
amount will be raised. Team cap
tains are to report daily to Mr. Ken
nedy or Mr. Leach.
At a recent similar campaign in
Seattle A. W. Hogue, the chairman
of the committee, said to his work-
era just starting out:
“The genius of this new Y. M. C.
A. enterprise lies not in its outlay
for equipment, but in its promotion
of the fullest use of that already in
the district. We have now splendid
facilities for boys’ work in our
schools, churches, playgrounds, li
brary, lakes, etc., and fine work is
being done. But, likewise, the op
portunity for more and more effec
tive training is apparent. A move
ment in this direction, which bases
its program on sound methods, deals
in a purely co-operative way, aad
summons the entire community to
unselfish concern over its boy prob
lems, surely merits support.”
