 Last week these young men held a meeting at the K. of c. rooms and after a short discussion voted to post d notice in the local post office to let the pthers service men know that TaftNil1e wanted to have d branch of the 1egion here.
 At the meeting Monday evening 1t was voted to form an Army and Navy club and any man who had served his country was eligible for membership. A committee was also appointed to write to the American Legion head quarters to find out about applying for a charter .zs Those who are now. working to form the legion in the village are satis- fled with the success thus far and hope to- see eTaftVilless war veterans respond to a man when the call for members is sent out. Notice of the next meeting will be posted in some prominent. place in the village: but don't wait until the meeting before showing your spirit. go out now and talk American Legion. to your friends who have served and bring them into the local chapter. !.
