MANNINGToN, Sept. 5.-An Amer
ican Legion Post for Warrington was
decided upon at meeting of returned
service men here last evening. The
matter of a post for Warrington was
presented to the meeting by RollU
Conley, from Heintzelman post in Fair
mont who recommended that because
of the distance from Fairmont and the
difficulty Warrington boys would be
put to attend sessions there, 1t would
be advisable for Warrington to have
post of its own, working in friendly
cooperation with the county post.

ing be held on the evening Of Septem-
Der II, at which time 1t is hoped to
have a mapority of the service men o,
the district present. At this time for
NAL application will be made to the
state and national Legion authorities
for a charter, name for the post Sc
lected and officers chosen. A COM
mittee to arrange for this meeting and
to give publicity to the organization OF
the post here was named as follows:
William Morris, James Maupin ann
Karl Curtz.
A delegation from Warrington ar
ranged to go to Fairmont this even
ing to be present at the regular ses-
sion there of Heintzelman post to see
how their affairs were conducted, and
