THE LEGION CORNER THE LEGION CORNER Attention Legionnaires, this Sunday. Sept. 11 is Knightstown Home Day. Let’s all try to attend. The Knightstown Home committee puts in a lot of time and effort in making this day one of the great days in the lives of the children at the home. There will be color guards, firing squads, junior rifle drill teams, and Drum and Bugle Corps, who will put on a fine show for all those in attendance. This is Indiana’s Legion’s Proud Project. Each year between 7.000 and 9.000 Legionnaires and their families journey to the Indiana Soldier’s and Sailor’s Childrens Home. Forty-seven years ago the Legion took over and made it a labor of love. Today the 417 acre 44 building campus is maintained by 200 employees. There are 500 children who make their home there, between the ages of 2 and 18. The children usually leave upon graduation. The state spends about a million dollars annually to maintain the home. The American Legion provides the "extras”. Among the extras in the past five years was $5,000 for a swimming pool; $4,800 for lighting a football field; $2,500 for a convertible St Joseph County CENTREVILLE FAIR Sept 19 to 24 Centreville, Mich. 5 Days Os Racing $24,00 In Purses Racing Every Afternoon Tuesday Thru Saturday Julius Laßosa Featured in Stage Show Each Night — ADMISSION — Gate 75c - Automobiles 50c Grandstand Reserved Seats 75c and SI.OO Tickets may be purchased at the Fairgrounds or may be ordered by mail from St. Joseph County Grange Fair Assn., Fairgrounds, Centreville, Michigan 19032
