Show 'legion chatter I By DON GLEASON Adjulani, Milford Post No. 1G i "Has Anybody Here Seen "Minnie"? That's the theme song of the Post this week as Minnie the Pig, getting fatter every day and fattening fat-tening the Legion membership rolls, failed to turn up for roll call. Last reports have it that . Doue Peterson took her home and she escaped the confines of her packing case and hasn't been I heard of since. She did a good j job for the Post while she was around, as the membership now stands at more than 100 and will be higher by Thursday night. ! Department Adjutant J. Lloyd Wignall will be in town' Thursday night to attend the initiation ceremony to be held ' at the Club. All Legionnaires are urged to come out and see j the ceremony and if you have ! not been initiated into the post be sure to come. I Got a little advice for all you hunters this week. The woods are tinder-dry and with thousands thous-ands of hunters going out for their deer, the fire danger is great Please, for your own sakes, be careful of your cigar- ' ets, matches, campfires and bottles. bot-tles. When you finish the smoke don't throw that butt away use a second to put it out on an open spot of gro.und and grind it into the dirt. Hold onto that match until you can hold the head between be-tween your fingers, then you can throw it away. In the northwest north-west the woodsman ALWAYS breaks his match in two before discarding it. Then he KNOWS it's out. Carry a shovel with you into camp and use it to bury that fire not just when you are j breaking camp but every time 1 you leave camp. And take your bottles back with you to .the dump or bury them, as they act as a magnifying glass and can start a fire very easily. A brok- en bottle can put a horse out of I the hunt in a hurry, too. The Deer Hunters Ball coming com-ing up Saiurday niie will be the biggest event of the season. sea-son. Mammoth campfire, real "Cowboy Coffee," out of this world, and hot chili. Prizes for darned near everything, and good music. Let's see you out there .huh? |
