The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-24

state secretary. made an address, and he was followed by J. D. Collins, after which Henry Hidden delivered an address
 that, fer real oratory and homely truths, was one of the hits of the evening. Emmet A. Jones, chairman of the agri- cultural committee of the state associa- tion, made a short talk, and he was fol- lowed by J, E. Robinson, president of Post B, and H. E. Shropshire.
 Following the speaking programme, F. o. Harvey requisitioned two of the stur- dier members of the post as walters and served a buffet luncheon that was the delight of all present. As a special ad- denda, MT. Harvey provided ice cream.
 He was given unanimous vote of thanks for his thoughtfulness, and the post re- iterated its statement that he was the gi eatest chairman of an entertainment committee to be found in any organiza- tion, of whatever character in the en- tire United States
 President E.. L. Raney announced last night that J. P. Brock of Decatur post bership committee for the. state MT. Brock was in attendance at Saturday nights meeting of Post B and met the
 members of this post.
 R. l.. Fuller, Jr., four years of age, was one of the most interesting figures at the meeting Saturday night MT. Fuller, Jr., is the youngest T. P. A. in the world and he. is as enthusiastic and as popular as his father. This youngest member takes the honors away from Horace Shropshire, who, until Saturday night had been the youngest member in the Alabama division. Horace was in attendance Saturday night and the boys
 enjoyed having him:
 o. P. Fontaine refused to allow the secretary to take the name of A. B. Aldridge off the list of the post member ship. He's just overlooked paying his dues, and I've got enough money right here to pay it. said MT. Fontaine, and he laid the money on the table. That's the proper spirit for the chairman of the post membership committee to have. 1 MT. Fontaine says about 50 new members l have been added since the state conven- | tion in May and his committee will see to it that Alabama's quota will be met.
 
 | Frank Means, chairman of the state membership committee, is doing great work. MT. Bass said Saturday night that Alabama probably would be called upon l for 600 new members this year. Frank Smiled when the national membership chairman said it. And his smile was not | of the rueful variety Rather, it was a smile of joy, of anticipation of work and | fighting for the 600 new ones. Frank
 Means will get them if anyone in Ala bama can.
 '! The word has gone forth that every man who was present Saturday night is | expected to attend the next, meeting, | whether there is anything to eat or not. l Whether or not the local post will have a barbecue. picnic, ball or banquet, and where the event will take place has been I left in the hands of rattlnss good com
 mittee, which has instructions to report I back to the post before final action IS taken. It was suggested Saturday night l that barbecue would be just the thing
 to have, but someone else suggested | picnic, and someone else suggested a | ball and someone else suggested a ban quet. Finally a committee was named | by President Robinson to decide which 1 1t would be best to have and where 1t could best be had, and to advise the post of it's decision at the next meeting
