"Pep" and the ideal of service were thr keynotes of the get-to-gether meet ing of the Thos. D. Lake, Jr., 'Postv American Legion, held in the legion hall Monday evening for the purpose primarily of organizing a woman's auxiliary to the tpost. Maj. G. Heyward lahon, Jr., of Greenville, and MaJ. E1lenry C. Tillman, of Greenwood, were the honor guests of the evening and delivered eloquent addresses urging the .members -of the post to a higher ideal of service to their disabled com rades land to their country. Short ad dresses were also made by Capt. "Pete" H1udgens, a native of this county but now a resident of Greenville, and Licut. Col. J. AlcC. Barksdale, of this city. P. D.' fluff, 10s1q., of this city, responded to -the addresses of the visitors and thanked them for their uttendance, at the same time thanking the women present for their interest In the post and paying a'pretty tribute to the sac rilfices made b'y the women in the war. Folloqwng the addresses, an elegant luncleon vas served by the ladies of the U4 astern Star after which entangle ments were removed and an old-time square d'ance was joined in by the members of the 'post, their lady friends and seVeral guests. The dancing was kept up until a late hour of the night, the occasion 'being hugely enjoyed by everyone present. Major Mhbn, in opening his re marlis,- referred feelingly to his asso clatjons with CLaurens men of his bat 'talioti af the 118th Infantry, saying, iwithout disparagement to other organ izations of the army, that a finer bat talioi of troops never fought in an army. Tur-ning to a discussion of an organization of a woman's auxiliary to the post, he said that woman's inter est and sympathy 4n -the ppst was the prime requisite for its success. "If a lost is ever about to die," -he said, "the first thing to do is to enlist the inter est of the women and its future is saved." The women have many things they can do, he said. - Among others they can help locate disabled ex-service men and minister to. them only as wo men can do. They can do as women of the Greeville auxiliary post did Armitsice day--served light refresh ments to disabled men on the streets and in the 'Camp Sevier hospital, help ing them not only In a material'way but bootsing up their spirits and let ting them know that their country has not forgotten the sacrifices they have made. To the members of the post Itself, Major &Mahon held uip an ideal of ser vice as the goal of every legion man. Care for the disabled ex-service men, he spoke of as the post's first duty. See to it -that every disabled man has that care and attention that a grate -fui people are willing to give. A broEd ,program including help for disabled men, 'followed by a program of service to cppntanity, state, nation and God shoufli te..ptapned out, each Legion, rwcrga ywith the others, formiig a gat ou1Widg... epr'ogram which "would 4lparantee the principles in peace for 'rhilbb his comrades ,fought In war.
