* TO MAINTAIN HONOR ROLL.
The State Council of Defense is
recommending that each local com
munity maintain an Honor Roll, upon
which may be recorded the names of
all men in service from the commun
ity, with their achievements and
dates of entry and discharge. In
compiling such lists, however, it is
suggested that no mention should be
made of the organization to which
the men belong.'
Each local council of defense is re
quested to appoint in each commun
ity a committee or an individual to
read all official and unofficial mili
tary news and collate all mention of
men from the community.
The committee or individual should
send to each man cited for special
bravery, expressing the pride his
fellow-citizens feel in him, and their
appreciation of the honor to his com
munity. The letter of recognition
should not be over a page in length,
and be in such form as to merit per
manent preservation. It should be
signed in the name of the local couft
cil of defense.
