THE LEGION DRIVE
Veterans of the American Legion are
conducting a membership drive.
It is a worthy endeavor, says the
Oregon Journal. They helped make
big history. They served and sacri
ficed for ideals that ought to be pre
served. There is no surer way to pre
serve them than through such an or-

Some useful things have occasion

tral Europe. One of the best plans
of which we have heard Is a new fining
system which Is used In Prague. The
police curry receipts for fines for
various sums In their pockets, and
present them for Immediate payment

wrong time, or where the volume of

allow the citizens of this old city to
get some much needed rest. This sys

come so popular that It was extended
to truffle violations as well. It would
certainly be a great convenience If we

Dressed to represent the Maori
tribesmen, school children from Te
Awamutu bravely defended the native
Pa, until the white troops, also young
New Zealnnders, drove them away In

make this nation worthy of the suffer
ings and sorrows that service men en
dured in the great war. These ideals
can be greatly forwarded through such
an organization as the legion.
The comradeship of those dreadful
days is worth preserving. As time
mellows the recollection of the horrors
of 1917-18, and as years lengthen into
decades, that comradeship, preserved
through the legion organization, will be
a priceless privilege to those once in
the European camps and campaigns.
The veterans' organization should be
sustained and preserved, for it is a j
great social university.
