One OF the first pieces OF business
transacted by the members at it's
meeting was a decision to take over
Victory Day and TO furnish the peo-
pie OF the east side OF Iron county
with celebration that they may well
.-hs-proud Of
All OF the work I'm connection with
the affair will be done by the soldier
boys. They Will call upon the people
OF the city to assist them, especially
in the matter of providing transporta-
tion for the people OF Alpha and Am
asa, but all committee work will be
done by the boys themselves and they
propose TO show the natives how TO
pull OF celebration in first-class
(shape.
The celebration will consist of a
parade, patriotic speeches and music
an athletic contest and big dance.
The boys have In mind several speak
ers from out OF town and one OF them
will be selected to deliver the days
oration.
The Mckinney Steel and Alpha
bands will be engaged II arrange
ments can be made with them. The
head-lner OF the days event will be
big parade in which the entire
membership OF the Post will take part
The real classy event, Of course,
will be the grand military ball which
will be given In the city hall in the
evening. The soldier boys will wear
their dress uniforms The music will
be the very best obtainable and ev
erything will be done to make the
event an historical one and to please
the people OF the east side.
Looking For Headquarters.
One OF the things that the Post feels
the need OF most is a headquarters
q club room-where the boys may
assemble or may make their meeting
place on other evenings and at other
times than when they hold formal
meeting. II. Is understood that the
meetings will continue 70 be held in
fbe auditorium OF the city hall.
| In this connection a committee was
appointed TO confer with the dlrec-
tors OF the Crystal Falls club 20 as
certain II some arrangements cannot
be made for temporary occupancy
OF the club In conjunction with the
members Of that organization.
The committee appointed was Bur-
ridge, Grifiiths and wormwood. The
idea Is not to have the soldier boys
take over the club. but TO open II TO
them 80 that all OF the members OF the
POST may feel free TO go to the rooms
At any time they may choose; so that
the boys from Alpha and Amasa may
have sort OF a home TO drop into
fwheneser they come 10 Crystal Falls.
The meeting with the club directors
viii be held as soon as joint arrange
ments for a meeting can be made.
