PRIMS MAY 30
; AS MEMORIAL DAY
The Mineola Post of the A-
jinerican Legion is planning a
fitting program for May 30,
Memorial Day. The program
however, had not been announ-
ced Tuesday afternoon. In con-
nection with the" day. Wayne
Davis, Department Commander,
has isued the following procla-
mation :
On May 30th the American
Public will again bow its heads
in solemn thought and prayer
honoring the departed heroes of
all wars and keeping fresh in
the minds of this generation the
sacrifice, suffering and death
of the builders of our govern-
ment in order that we^might en-
joy democratic liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
We, as members of the Amer-
ican Legion of Texas, should
sincerely join in the perpetua-
tion of the sentiments called
forth by Memorial Day. In ad-
dition to the solemn thoughts
and sacred memories of our fal-
len brothers who made the su-
preme sacrifice and in whose
honor this day holds peculiar
significance, we can feel both
yjoy and thanksgiving for the
. triumph and victory of the prin
ciples for which our country en-
tered the late war.
We have further battles yet
to fight and win—the great
battle of peace ;the fighting and
lifting of which will make our
Big Crowd Visited
At New Hope Sunday
Sunday was the big day at
the New Hope community. An
all-day singing was the feature

munity. Many people from

RECOMMEND BIBLE
BE READ IN SCHOOLS
"ofie of peaceful homes
and a contented, progressive
citizenship. We must continu-
ally strive to teach those with
whom we mingle the beauty and
glory of one hundred per cent
Americanism, and the deep
sense of satisfaction which ^
man only may enjoy by abso-
lute loyalty to his flag-
In connection with the Mem-
orial Day the American Legion
Auxiliary will hold poppy sales
on Saturday May 27. The en-
tire proceeds of the poppy sale
which goes to the Auxiliary
will go directly to their hospital
relief fund and will be used in
relief work, without deduction
for administrative or any other
expense.
It is especially fitting that
all Legion members participate
eagerly in the poppy sales and
render all assistance possible,
for the funds derived there-
from will greatly aid those of
our comrades who are in the
homes and hospitals suffering
from disabilities accruing from
wounds received in line of duty.
I do hereby proclaim May 30
1922, as Memorial Day, hereby
instructing all posts of the A-
merican Legion in Texas to
hold such suitable programs and
The Women's Societies of the
Protestant churches of Mine-
ola request the publication of
the following:
"The Woman's Societies of
the protestant churches of
Mineola recommend the Bible
be placed in our public schools
in Chapel exercises, or in any
way deemed advisable by the
school board-
Committee."
