Roll to 43
In Service
Complete First Aid
Equipment Presented
To Protection Heod
Has ?0 Years Per/ecf 4Menc(ance
Mrs. Edith Dickerson
Louded for Record
An honor roll containing the
names of 43 members in the var-ious
armed forces of their coun-try
was dedicated with appropri-ate
ceremonies by Freeport Lodge
1253, B.P.O. Elks, In its lodge
lodge room Thursday night. At
the same time complete equip-ment
for a First Aid station was
presented to Dr. Herman C. Dun-ker,
as assistant director of Civil-
Ian Protection for Freeport, by
Milford F. VahRlper, chairman of
the Elks' committee on social and
Community Welfare.
Past Exalted Ruler Joseph P.
Glynn presided and the address
was given by District Attorney
Edward J. Neary. The honor roll
"^as'unl'enecl by Mr: Olynn and
the names were read by Secretary
William J. Murphy. The invoca-tion
was given by Rabbi B. Leon
Hurwltz of Temple Israel.
War Is the most frightful con-cept
of men's activities, Mr. Neary
asserted. He said time was when
wars were fought according to
prescribed rules, but that these
days were over and there was no
limit to the frtghtfulness to which
it could be carried. No one is
Immune from Ita destruction, th
s(*e«A&ef co%\ttt\\ioA^ otd people, wo
;.. ^ men. and chJJkjren living thousands
^',v*of %Wes frdhi the acene of ac-
; tlon being among its victims.
Mr. JVeary declared that war
destroyed every decent Impulse,
and that acts of bravery and
courage were only incidents of a
conflict. "War Is fllty and brutal
altogether," he said. He told of
how the American people had
sought to avoid war and pointed
out that the American Legion was
the only organization throughout
the years that had advocated pre-
. pa redness. But its efforts were
ignored, he added.
The District Attorney showed
how the countries of the world
had done nothing as Japan took
territory after territory out of
China, Italy Seized Ethiopia and
-- Hitler made his advances.
America was aroused from Its
compaccncy only when the Japs
" rained bombs on Pearly Harbor, he
contlTmeth However. h&..saw Am-j
erica-jjiojv cletermlned* to see 1*
"* through until the-aggressors' were
^ vanquished; to^see-that this thing
r^ijoes 'not happen again and the
peace Is won. -—
Mr. Neary expressed fear, how-ever,
that once peace Is declared
people will fall into the complac-ency
that followed the first World
War, He commended the Elks
who have entered the service and
expressed the hope that they soon
w.ould be back again to take their
places in society.

But its efforts were ignored, he added. The District Attorney showed how the countries of the world had done nothing as Japan took territory after territory out of China, Italy Seized Ethiopia and -- Hitler made his advances.
