The Lenora Chamber of Commerce has for some time been proposing something, that would be of real and equal value to all those in service, whose habitual acquaintance has been within the Lenora territory. We want you to know that the old gang of 4 F's, producers and non-producers, are doing their damndest [sic] to uphold or hold up the detail work you surrendered at home, when lot chose you to do our dirty work. Just for your information, to let you know that we at home are also on the job, we challenge the nation in Patriotism and War Spirit. Kansas has led the Nation in her quota on War Bonds, Red Cross Drive, Scrap Iron Drive and also breaking the ice in passing a Labor Union Law. The Lenora C of C has also just purchased a $1000 War Bond. The origins and nourishment of the roots of real Americanism are right here in Western Kansas, and "Be Gad" we are going to continue to grow and send real Americans all over the World. We invite you to attend our bi-weekly C of C dinner on Monday night whenever you are home on furlough. If you like our idea of this monthly service bulletin, be sure to send us your address if changed, the last week of each month, and your friends will know where you are. Also enclose a note of interest that we can print with your name in the succeeding bulletins. As a final word, especially to those of you in foreign service, remember that when things look the toughest, give thought to your Mother and Dad. I can from experience vouch, that every parent is earnestly praying for you and riding out the same storm with you. Edward F. Steichen, M. D., President of the Lenora Chamber of Commerce
