Show 5IE CELEBRATION ON THE BUY If BOYS COME HOME Editor Standard: Our boys are coming home and wq are asking for an opportunity to show them how proud we are and how glad to welcome them home again. But will this welcome take on the form of rowdyism enacted at tho time of tho peace celebration? Will they forget the respect that is due the uniform as they did then? Every one on the street knows that i many young men and women enjoyed themselves by knocking men's and women's hats from their heads, to be ; trampled under foot of the passing ; crowds. This in itself was disgusting, but when I saw a young man knock the head ffoni the head of a soldier , boy and immediately after a young i woman knocked the cap from tho head oi an o nicer, uoin nat. anu cap oeing kicked and trampled bofore they could be rescued by their owners, I could hardly restrain my Indignation. It was to mc as they had struck these boys in the faces or trampled undcr-1 undcr-1 foot- our own Stars and Stripes. Let j us have rejoicing but let us demand respect for the returning soldiers and sailor boys and the uniform which rep-I rep-I resents the grandest nation on earth, j AN OBSERVER. nn |
