The victory did not come easy, however Down 55 50 with only 3 19 left in the contest, Lehnus'charges came storming back to hand a well balanced Tri Point Charger team a 60-59 defeat

Again, as it has been for so many games over the past two seasons, it was the Big Blue’s "poise under pressure” that helped to achieve success. Led by senior co captain Mike Somers, the Bluebirds rallied to win a contest that had many fans of both schools shaking their heads

Mr. Finch, speaking to 60 Livingston County bankers and bank directors, commented that consumers are not going to permit the price of food to be raised substantially, therefore, for a farmer to continue to operate profitably he must reduce his production costs as quickly and as much as possible

Dwight, on theevening of Feb 20 Following dinner and a short business meeting President James Rebholz.

all 12 of the final period points which eventually led to victory Mike Hubly. a rapidly improving junior forward, totaled 15 points for the game, to finish behind the 21 and 16 points of Kurtenbach and Somers, respectively

With the score 58-57, it was Somers' two crucial free throws which gave the Bluebirds a three-point margin with 20 seconds remaining, and which sewed up the victory for Coach Lehnus' squad

The game was close all the way, with the lead changing hands several times during the contest. But poise and defensive hustle when it counted, under pressure, paved the way to the final victory

Coach Lehnus was especially pleased at the team’s total effort in the game. The Bluebirds turned the ball over o n l y t h r e e t i m e s , outrebounded Tri-Point by 12 caroms, and hit 50% of their field goal attempts The coach felt that, considering Tn Point hit 50% of their field goals and 15 of 19 free throw attempts, the Bluebirds made a fine "team effort” to stay in the contest and eventually winJV SG 0 DOWN AGAIN

The JV's were not able to handle the taller and rougher Chargers Again poor defensive rebounding and poor free throw shooting (9 of 19) took its toll

H. L. P. S.Phillip Nolan was the man without a country described by Edward Everett Hale in his fiction book by that name Nolan, a young army officer, supposedly wrote to Aaron Burr and was involved in some kind of conspiracy At the trial that followed he was found guilty. In his anger he lashed out, "Damn the U. S I wish 1 may never hear of the U S. again " He made this statement in the presence of officers who had served in the American Revolut ion, risking their honor, their fortune and their lives for what this young radical cursed in his madness

Colonel Morgan, presiding officer, sentenced young Nolan The court decided ihat Nolan should get his wish and should never hear the name of the U S. again He was taken to New Orleans and placed on an outgoing ship with orders that no one should mention the U S to the prisoner He was allowed books and newspapers from foreign countries but they were always censored and any reference to the U S was cut out of the paper

As his ship would turn homeward it would rendezvous with an outgoing vessel, transfer Nolan to it, and he would be on his way again By this method they kept him always several hundred miles from the country he had hoped he might never hear of again

Nolan repented of his folly and friends begged authorities to pardon him, but government red tape didn't permit this. For more than fifty years he was kept constantly on board ship, always on the move At his death it was learned he had made a little shrine in his room with a picture of George Washington, a carved eagle, an American flag, and a home made map of the U S as he remembered it some 50 years earlier

In his dying moments he told the ship's officer how he loved the flag and prayed for it He left a note in his Bible saying that he loved his country as no other man loved her. but no man deserved less at her hands.

We were reminded of this story when we read of the young radicals staging a sit-in at the University of Chicago Some were singing "God Bless America" but at the close some shouted "Damn America” and we couldn’t help wondering if these young hotheads were given a treatment such as Philip Nolan and forbidden to ever hear of America again, if they could be brought to their senses and made to realize they

THANK YOUI want to thank everyone

who sent me flowers and cards while I was in the hospital and since returning home. One who has never been in the hospital doesn't realize how much the cards are appreciated also a special thanks to Dr. Mauger

Want to take pictures for intelligence of the suspended pipe that crosses BELOW the top of the built guiding walls of Soldier Creek (600 N Schuyler Kankakee )7 This picture would be ideal for arithmetic classes. Sight or Figures Sight. "Can you see waste"7 Figures, amount of waste per foot, block, mile. The picture could also be used by school psychologists and teachers to test sanity. "See the difference between right & wrong”. A good citizens group might be able to solicit the Senior class gift money. Show them the school value to our city, county, state and circulation for world wide understanding. The gift pictures will still be c o m m e r c i a l but the intelligence created might be worth more than any gift since the custom originated There is even parable development of spirit in the picture.

W HY THEAMERICAN LEGION ?

MARSHALL G.FOLLETT For Livingston County Council

ARTHUR L. HACK. Commandar

- AN IDEA -This is the first of a series

of articles that we will at tempt to write to tr> anil ex plain to everyone, not just those eligible for membership in the American Legion, but everyone that is interested in the welfare of our country, our veterans, their depend ants and survivors and espe cially the youth of our coun try. These articles were sug gested by a veteran of World War I who. with many others, will this year celebrate the Golden Anniversary of the Armistice of World War 1 as well as 50 years a member of this great organization.

We shall endeavor to not only answer the "Why of the American Legion", but also the Who, What. When and Where

It is interesting to know that Theodore Roosevelt Jr . is given credit for being the father of the American Le­gion but he contends that the credit for the idea belonged to a Sgt William Patterson, whom he met while they were both recuperating from wounds received in World War I, prior to the signing of the Armistice Lt Col Koose velt took advantage of a meeting that Gen Pershing had arranged between repre sentatives of all the units in France, to “estimate the sit uation and to make sugges tions for the improvement of the Welfare of the Expedi tionary Force." At the con elusion of this meeting in Paris, after their task was carried out conscientiously and expeditiously to the ad vantage of all men in the AEF, Roosevelt invited the group to a dinner in a sw anky place saying that he had an important, unofficial matter to discuss All accepted, even though for some it was the last night in Paris before re turning to their units

After t h e y had eaten. Roosevelt planted the seed that was to grow into the American Legion by selling these men on the proposition that an all inclusive veterans society be launched For the most part, the twenty officers present were judicious mi n and their decision that night and subsequently were the result of responsible thought, searching debate, apprehen sion and hope Intractahili ty. selfishness, opportunism and horseplay were sub

merged by a serious eompre hension of the importance of first moves and a willingness to compromise and to leave matters of specific policy to future gatherings

This group decided that there should he two orgamza tional meetings, one in Paris and one in the United States, and that they would consti tute a Committee of Twenty to promote interest, with what tune they could devote, throughout the AEF and would accomplish whatever detail work necessary in the preliminary stages. Three men accepted responsibilities as the Committee of Three to organize the Caucus to be held in Paris

The Paris Caucus was held on March 15 17, 1919. with about 1500 men about 50': enlisted men and from all the ranks from Private to Brig General Dr A B Middle ton of Pontiac was one pres ent at this meeting and it was also at this meeting that the name American Legion was tentatively adopted

In May 1919. the second Caucus was held in St Louis and at this Caucus a tentative constitution was adopted In attendance here was William C Mundt of Fairbury, who was on the committee that designed the emblem as it is today From the very be ginning, through these Cau cuses. and in the many meet­ings and gatherings that were held, there was always the religious aspect, the striv ing to attain the overall feel ing and action of brother­hood and especially the giv­ing of one s self for his fel­low man and for his country and for Freedom and Peace for everyone The men who were the originators could be likened to those courageous men who founded this great country, who wrote the Dec­laration of Independence and the Constitution, the docu­ments that have as much meaning today as they did 192 years ago Theodore Roosevelt Jr . would not ac cept the post of First Nation al Commander because some might think that his interest was a selfish one This sam^, attitude prevailed in the minds of most of the highest ranking military men who were in the original founda­tion
