They Are Serving Still
ARMISTICE DAY is past, and a
tribute to the World war veter
ans at this time is belated as to
that event. But Armistice Day need
not be the only time when a thought
may be given to the boys in khaki;
for as they served in Flanders fields
or wherever they were called upon
to do Uncle Sam's bidding at war
time, so do they continue to serve
in the interests of a greater, a safer
and a finer America through their
service organizations.
At this time the American Legion
is making its annual call upon ex
service men to enlist for another
year. That call' is not selfish, and
well may it be heeded by the com
munity in general
The local post, American Legion,
has assisted many community ac
tivities, not the least of which has
been joint sponsorship of the Boy
Scouts, who just now also are or
ganizing for a new year. Just now
the Legion is working toward ob
taining a community building. It
will be the Legion's home to be sure,
so long as a post exists; but like
the GAR the Legion will some day
become extinct, because its quali
fications for membership call for
service in a certain war, and already
the ranks are thinning. Plans for
the building, therefore, are so de
signed that the structure will be of
general community service, to last
for many years as a memorial to the
boys who served in the World war.
The community recently respond
ed nobly to the benefit entertain
ment staged by the Legion for rais
ing funds for the building. But the
objective should not be lost sight of
either by those eligible now to take
active part in the service organiza
tion for another year, or by the
community in general.
It is to the Legion's credit that
it once, single-handed, provided
Heppner with a swimming tank.
Lucklessly, that tank was demolish
ed by the flood of 1934, wiping out
the fruits of many 'years work and
almost all the monetary earnings
of the post up to that time. The
fighting spirit of old now comes up
again toward a new objective, and
the boys in khaki are on the march.
Only tike barbed wire entanglements
of thinning ranks, the withering bar
rage of illness and diversity can
this time keep them from going
over the top.
May their spirit never be defeat
ed.

THE LEGION CALLS
To the Editor of the Gazette
Times. If there was ever a time in
the history of our country when its
natriotic forces should put their
shoulders to the wheel it is NOW.
The immediate call of the Nation
in the light of security is the pre
sent over-whelming demand for
UNITY. The axiom "In Unity There
is Strength" presents itself for ac
ceptance to every citizen of the
United States who truly has the
welfare of America at heart.
'Tis true that, individually, every
citizen should do his utmost to pro
mote and work for the best interests
of our Nation's security. 'Tis equal
ly true that the same efforts ex
pended by means of group action
will have a larger proportionate
force and will command attention,
recognition and respect. Organiza
tions which foster and promote true
American Patriotism are indispen
sable from every patriotic stand
point and should be encouraged to
multiply their efforts.
In nearly all instances eligibility
for membership in the patriotic or
ganizations is contingent on some
previous military affiliation or ac
tivityalso, the eligibility for mem
bership in their Auxiliaries is like
wise limited. Those persons possess
a PRICELESS HONOR A Golden
Opportunity for Service who can
gain entrance onto the rolls of a
recognized patriotic organization.
Each year finds more veterans av
ailing themselves of their member
ship privilege. For instance, The.
American Legion during 1940 mar
shalled its greatest strength, more
than 1,073,000 members and 11,688
posts. However, the Legions
strength would be more than tripled
if every eligible veteran were prom
pted to enroll.
To meet the challenge of serving
America in a national emergency
the Legion has a place within its
ranks today for every veteran of the
World War and this challenge rings
as loudly as it did when they first
donned the uniform. America has
important assignments for its vet
erans banded together in The Am
erican Legion. The Country needs
more Legionnaires the Legion
needs more members there's an
other job to be done!
Never has membership in the Le
gion been such a priceless honor,
and such a golden opportunity to
serve.
HENRY PETERSON,
District Membership Chairman.
