Th3se j boys in service are paving the way i ! for present younger generation, and ! ;all gerenations to follow. We should j make preparation for their return, ! by helping the younger people to i understand what these men are do- ; ing for our country. We must help these service men to find an under standing attitude in the hearts of our people when they return home." Rev. John C. Pryor pronounced the benediction.
