On evening. J anua ry 19. Boy Scout Troop No. 80 of S p a r t a was enter tained with a n interest ing talk by Pvt. Rudy Lonnee who told about h i s experiences in the a rmy as a P a r a -trooper. T h e boys h a d planned a snow par ty for t h a t date, which they gladly postponed fo r th is very spcclal t reat . I t Is safe to say t h a t R u d y will never have the privilege of speaking to a more eAger or more appreciative aud-ience.

T h e postponed snow pa r ty was held ti.is we<»k on Tuesday evening a t Bettes hill. Except for a f ew spills, t he boys enjoyed the fun very much . They wish, here, to express the i r t hanks to Mr. Bettes for t h e use of h is toboggans, fire places and o ther equipment . T h e boys desire also to t h a n k Mr .

T h e proposal made by the S i x t h Corps Area, U. 8. Army t h a t the Soldiers' Home Hospital fadl iUes be t u r n e d over to the U. S. Army Air Forces Wea the r school now in opera t ion in Orand Rapids, a t t r ac t s our a t t en t ion for two reasons. First , because i t Is located In our own 17th senator ia l distr ict ; second, because several ex-service men have called to explain why they felt carefu l cons idera t ion should be given the proposal before any definite a r rangements a r e completed.

T h e mat te r , of course, also h a s t h e personal investigation of State Sena to r Saur . who being an ex-service m a n will, we are sure, protect t h e interests of all concerned.

I t seems f rom what we have r ead t h a t Orand Rap ids officials. In the i r en thus iasm to bring the wea the r school to their d t y . promised the a r m y the Michigan Soldiers' Home hospi ta l or any p a r t of t h e institution t h a t t hey cared to utilize without t ak ing into consideration the effect this a r r a n g e m e n t would have upon presen t disabled veterans, res idents of the *»>??Jtution or others who might reasonably be entitled to the use of i ts facilities.

The re Is no question but t h a t officials of the home would be willing to do everything they can within reason to cooperate wi th t h e army, es-pecially t h a t which would reflect favorably upon the war effor t .

T o accede to the latest proposal of the army, i t seems t h a t th is would deprive the hospital au thor i t ies no t only of the facul t ies the hospital offers, b u t or the building itself, a n d in aU probability resul t In definitely closing t h e institution, and moving t h e disabled veterans possibly to Dayton. Ohio or o the r hospitalisation centers .

T h e veterans with whom we have talked state th is home is a s ta te owned inst i tut ion, established ir. 1885 for the care and hospitalization of all war ve terans who have become disabled through disease, inju'-y or otherwise a n d a re no longer able to ea rn a livelihood as well as the i r widows, wives a n d mothers .

I t is a home, they state, where every effort is m a d e to assist the ve terans in rehabil i tat ing themselves for fu r ther service and the tu rn -over of members r u n s f rom 500 to 600 every year. T h e horns has a 265-bed hospital , the veterans s tate , completely equipped with operat ing rooms, x - ray and therapy s p p a r a : ^ a n d a den-al d ln i c .

F rom v h a t information we have gathered, we believe it would be wise to re ta in a portion of the home for the disabled veterans, with the a rmy occupying as much of the r ema in ing space the buildings af ford for the i r immedia te needs.

All of us want a t all times to do everything we can for the boys now in our a rmed forces, but we should not. under any circumstances, pe rmi t ourselves to forget, or to neglec t the fighting boys of World war No. 1.
