Show Newsboy Gives Savings to Legion's Home Fund Here is a modern parallel of the widow's mite. An American Legion solicitor out seeking funds for the home fund of James Dickey post, Portsmouth, Ohio, was stopped on the street by a newsboy. "Here Mister," the lad said, "I've been selling papers for two weeks now. and I've saved, out side of what I juct had to buy to live, a dollar. I want to give it to the Legion. Le-gion. You fellers gave more than that for us." And the newsie poured into the hand of the ex-service man a dollar dol-lar In pennies and nickels and hurried away. "James Dickey post is justly proud of that contribution," said a Legionnaire. "It makes us determined to give the best we have in peace-time service." |
