Needless to say the Legion boys are grateful to a greater extent than words can express. Among the past gifts mentioned in these columns jfre two stoves, lace curtains, a historical painting from the Brest Red Cross canteen, the installation of a telephone and other minor items. During the past few days pictures have come in from many sources, in cluding a large framed copy of the Constitution of the United States, a gift of Frank Gobelman. On Saturday Fred Wagner present ed the post a safe which has been in use in his private office and which his busines has outgrown. This is an expensive safe and will be mighty handy for keeping the papers and books of the organization safe from loss by fire or theft. M. S. Briggs also comes under the wire well at the head of the list of donors, with the gift of a large office or reading table, which is in excel lent condition and will fill a long felt want in the club rooms. William Baird has also announced that he will present the post with a fine American flag, and it is the in tention to place a flagstaff over the clubrooms and have Old Glory flung to the breeze on such days and in ac cord with the regulations prescribed by the flag manual. Another valuable and highly prized gift is the stand of colors which the ladies of the W. R. C. have announc ed they wish to present at the next meeting of the post and when it is hoped to have a large number of the members present to express their ap preciation. This is something the post has been needing for a long time but never felt its finances were quite sufficient to stand such an extensive disbursement as this would necessi tate. i I ll 1 1 I 1 1 I 1 I'M I ?
