I a the is MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1941. DES MOINES REGISTER. PAGE FIVE ASKING FOR A REDEDICATIONPatriotism a Note as G. A.R. Meets NOLL, 96, CITES PATRICK HENRY Affiliated Societies Also Convene.

Three smiling white-haired men, still fervent in their patriotism, were in Des Moines Sunday for the opening of the sixty-seventh encampment of the Iowa department of the Grand Army of the Republic. The three of the 10 in blue" who are expected to attend the annual convention of the G.A.R. are T. J. Noll, 96, of Des Moines, assistant adjutant for Iowa: J.

J. Neuman, 94, Des Moines, department commander; and Elliott P. Taylor, 95, Fairfield. At a meeting at Hotel Chamberlain Sunday afternoon, the three veterans of the Civil war gave "pep" talks to the members of the Federated Patriotic Societies. Noll spoke only a few minutes and confided later that he wanted to give Patrick Henry's speech ending, "Give me liberty or give me death," before the convention is over.

He practiced delivering it Sunday afternoon before a few friends, and he believes it appropriate right now. Neuman took hold of the United States flag, looked at "Old Glory" fondly, and asked that everyone rededicate himself to what "Old Glory" stands for. Taylor, the first arrival from the state, told women in the crowd of more than 100 that it rested on the shoulders of mothers to "carry on loyalty in the country." Neuman, who born in Langheim, Prussia, a member of was Company 148th Illinois Volunteer infantry. Noll, born in coming county, belonged Company C. 146th Illinois Volunteer infantry; and Taylor, born in Aurora, belonged to Company 4th Iowa Volunteer cavalry.

The three veterans, noticeably Alert for their age, sat in the front row together Sunday noon and recalled former encampments and their guest last year, John A. Andrews, Quincy, veteran who died recently. Sunday night the G.A.R. memorial service was held at St. John's Lutheran church.

Wreaths were placed at the altar in memory of members who died in the last year. The encampment will continue through Wednesday. D. Mrs. Grace Houlette Hahn.

Mrs. Hahn described national defense efforts which she had seen in the United States. "Even if it means less finery and more drudgery, we can join the ranks of those who sacrifice for our country," she said.

In announcing the first prize winner, the judges stated: "The song received its reward because of the originality of the melodic idea: because of its form and rhythm of a march song: because the poem to which the melody is mated has the flavor of legend and tradition, which makes for living poetry with its roots in the soil; also that the story of Sacajawea is strictly associated with Girl Scout history and therefore is an authentic source of inspiration for a Scout song." The winner of the grand prize was a junior scoutmaster and an amateur composer. Sacajawea, whose story inspired the song. was an Indian girl who served as guide and interpreter to the Lewis and Clark expedition into the Northwest in 1806. "Scouts Are We" won the Girl Scout prize from a field of 524 entries from 32 states, the District of Columbia, Alaska and the West 1, Indies. Among the contestants were many, men, including professional song writers and music teachers.
