m l a o. f, ii
There was a sxdendid representa
tion of the fraternal organizations of
Seward at Odd Fellows’ Hall last eve
ning to meet Capt. Dancey, American
ization Officer of the American Le
gion. It was an eleventh hour call,
and the Legion Committee was more
than gratified with the response.
Cal. M. Brosius presided and called
on A. E. Rucker, adjutant of the Sew
ard Post, to introduce the speaker,
i The plans for an Americanization pro
| gram w-ere fully explained and the co
j operation of the various fraternal or
I ders was asked in making the differ-!
ent numbers cC the program a success, j
with special emphasis on the presen
tation of “The Mail Without a Coun
try” at the Liberty Theatre this even
ing, and the public mass meeting of
Sunday afternoon.
Captain Dancey spoke for forty min
utes, carrying liis audience through
varying stages of the worn! war and
its aftermath and, out of his experi
ences overseas, as well in world trav
el, drawing object lessons that should
be helpful to every American.
There were many lessons taught by
the war, he asserted. One thought im
pressed upon the world was that there i
is no one nation that can conquer
civilization. “Never before in history j
has a nation been better equipped
or better prepared, than was the Ger
man nation, when it hurled upon an |
unsuspecting world, the greatest dis-!
aster in the history of the ages. Vet!
they could not succeed and, never
once, from the fourth day of August.
1914, up to the eleventh day of Nov
ember, 1918, did the Germans succeed
in reaching one of their objectives.”
Another great lesson taught was
the need of organization, “I go into
town after town. I find a Rotary
Club, a Kiwanis Club, a Commercial
Club, several church and school clubs,
fraternal organizations, and women's
clubs, with a host of others, and yet,
wnen it comes to the matter of find
ing an organization that is ready and
willing, without quibbling or passing
the buck, to undertake something of a
community or patriotic order it al
most is impossible to find such an or
ganization. Some say that we are or
ganized to death. Perhaps we are. 1
believe that there is great need, in
every community, of an organization
that is ready and willing to undertake
these things of a worth while order.”
Captain Dancey spoke of the invisi
ble frontier between Canada and the
tnited States, and characterized it as
the greatest object lesson the world
had yet seen. It was in direct con
trast to other frontiers, where fixed
bayonets and guns were the line of
demarcation.
Interest in the Sunday afternoon
Rally is growing rapidly and it begins
to look that Seward will do, what ev
ery town and city is dofiig today,
pack to auditorium in the interests of
the greatest of problems before the
people today, the problems of Ameri
canization. it will be an old fashion
ed community get together and thru
the question period the audience will
be able to discuss, with the speaker,
lags of a national and international
order. The presentation of “The Man
Without a Country,” at The Liberty
this evening will serve as a fitting
prelude to the public rally.
