would repeat this record should an-

session a representative from the

the council on post-war reconstruc-

a very important matter and hoped
it would be thoroughly discussed

2 gent. Dear Russell—For some time
now you have been giving yourself
to the stern duties of military life,
and indeed have seen actual service
and are thereby fitted for whatever
service you may be called upon' to
render in the further defense of
your country and in the fight for
victory. Your duty will cause you to
travel, and while it is educational
and full of new experiences, it does
cause you to break for awhile the
ties that bind you to home, and to
the home neighborhood. However,
we believe you are of the stuff it
takes, and so to -night while you are
home for a short time, we take this
opportunity of expressing to you
our admiration of your pluck, cour-
age and readiness to serve. While
you are away your thoughts will
turn to this hone and friends, and
we shall remember you, and pray
that you may return safely in the
not too distant future. As a remind-
er of us all and as a symbol of our
earnest thoughts of you, we ask you
to accept this gift tonight."
