The meeting was held at the Salem Legion hall and lady members of the families were in attendance and spread a dinner at the noon hour. Of the three hundred or more who were on the roster of this company, it is now believed that only 62 are alive today and those attending the reunion are frank to admit that the fifty years since tliey entered the service have left marks evident in bald heads, defective eyesight, limps or worse but the spirit of the comradeship which was theirs in 1917-19 was still on parade as they recalled incidents in their service. The unit, most of whom were Marion County boys in 1917 selected officers to guide them through another year until the 1968 reunion which will be held at Salem, heard talks from members and guests and corrected the company roster to show the ravages of time.

Of the Battalion, Jefferson County furnished one company designated Co. and A. L. Richards of Mt. Vernon who started his service in the Battalion was a guest of the Salem vets.

Since 1950, family incomes have doubled, according to latest Bureau of Census figures. Rises in consumer prices have absorbed some of this increase, but there has been a substantial increase in real purchasing power. Percentage of families in higher-income brackets has creeped upward. For example, 7 per cent had incomes over $10,000 in 1949, rising to 15 per cent in 1959 and 22 per cent in 1964. Conversely, the same ratio of gain showed in incomes below $5,000, 0 Are Not Checking AceomtU are for everyone interested kt doing business the modem way.

Saving time Enjoying all its Try Paying By Cheek culled out in the selection process for the U.S. military we have in the U.S. Army in Vietnam is a good cross-section of American young men from average homes where moral standards have been taught. Moral unfitness is one reason for rejecting draftees and volunteers. As a result of this fitness criteria, the young American soldiers in Vietnam are men with consciences in good working condition.

Clergymen this reporter has talked to in South Vietnam back up this assertion that in the U.S. troops fighting this war there is an unusually big moral average. Certainly, there are some rotten there are here at home. But the average of good men is high. The question then is how are their consciences taking the war? What do the figures show about mental illness among U.S.

Anny troops in South Vietnam? Dui'ing World War II, 23 per cent of all cases evacuated medically were evacuated for psychiatric reasons. The percentage in Vietnam has been only a fourth of per cent.

Neuropsychiatric illness in U.S.

Army troops in Vietnam has been approximately 12 per cent per 1,000 troops a year. This compares with 37 per 1,000 troops a year in the Korean war. 7 Deaths In Illinois Accidents Illi Weekend Traffic Roundup By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Traffic accidents over the weekend on Illinois streets and highways left seven persons dead. teen-agers were killed Saturday night in a car collision on the Stevenson Expressway west of Chicego.
