The whole truth of the matter is that there is too much sore-headedness among the comrades. With the new year rolling in, can not this little item be put on the shelf along with the other unpleasant tnings we like, to forget Let us put a new force behind the Post! We have the material to make our Post second to none. With this advantage let us resolve to at- tend meetings in 1930. Something live lu ai- m2A f.

In fact some of these excuses were SO silly they do not do justice to anv Legionnaire. "Well Comrades, it's up to you. The Post officers under oath took it upon themselves to stick to the Post.
