Show Legioneers Will Have Club Rooms Shortly the members of the Gunnison Gun-nison Guard Mount, Post 104, will open spacious quarters in the Van Nordeck building. The room, which has been vacated by the high school, will be rearranged, fitted up with furniture, rugs, and the walls deco-! rated with pictures, and the members are looking forward to creating something out of the ordinary for this city. While the local organization is not entirely destitute in so far as finances are concerned, and realizing that it will cost considerable to buy all the necessary paraphernalia that will be necessary to fit up and maintain main-tain first class club rooms, the public pub-lic will be asked to aid a little. It has been an up-hill pull with the boys who served in the late world war, to bring the members together. Now, however, the Gunnison post has thirty members, and it is believed that within a short time this number will be materially Increased. If any of the patriotic citizens who could not and who did not participate partici-pate in the late war have any furniture, furni-ture, such as chairs, tables, a couch or a book case, books or pictures for wall decorations, that they would contribute towards fixing up a decent de-cent place for the former soldier boys, advise any member of the local post and a committee will call and get them. Surely there are plenty of the necessary articles unused about the homes in Gunnison, and if they are contributed the donor will be doing do-ing a patriotic duty and the members of the Gunnison Guard Mount will certainly appreciate the favors. A general movement has been started as a campaign for the year 1922 by the American Legion throughout the United States to elevate ele-vate the order to the highest plane possible. Gunnison will keep abreast with all the organizations, and to do this every citizen should lend a helping help-ing hand and aid the boys who fought for your freedom. |
