Constitution and Permanent
Officers, Headed by Henry B.
Shaw as COmmander-Will
Parade July 4

At an enthusiastic meeting of the
American Legion, including men who
served in the world war; held at the
City Hall last evening, the local post was
permanently christened Burlington Post
of the American Legion of Vermont, a
constitution was adopted as reported by
a committee elected at the last meeting
to draw up the same and permanent
officers were elected for the ensuing
year.
The first officers of the Burlington
Post are; Commander, Henry B. Shaw;
Ivice-commander, Lloyd Hulhurd; adjutant
Howard A. Allen: finance officer, c. p.
Smith. Jr.; executive committee, Richard
G. Clark. Edward A. Dupaw and Paul
Kicker, with the commander as chair
man.
A committee Of 10 was appointed to look
out for new members to the Legion and
arouse more interest throughout the city
so that all ex-service men may be reached
and given an opportunity to join the
Legion. About rs have already enrolled
as charter members and others may come
in under the same terms if they join in
the near future. At the meeting last night
the dues were fixed by the constitution
at 81 per year.
1t was voted that the members of the
Legion appear in uniform on July 4. when
they are to participate in the big parade
and review the same upon reaching the
reviewing stand. Plans for meeting and
taking part in the parade were discussed
and finally left with the executive COM
mittee.
c. P. Smith Jr. was appointed a COM
mittee of one to confer with James p.
Taylor of the mayors committee on the
July 4 celebration to go over the honor
roll with Mr.. Taylor and assist in correct
ing it to date. 1t was also the sentiment
Of the meeting that this honor roll should
be printed in the papers as early as
possible, in order that those who are in a
position to know about the boys who were
in the service from this vicinity may be
able to send in their corrections to the
list. 1t is very important that this list
should be accurate before IT goes into
permanent form on the honor roll in
City Hall Park on July 4.
James P. Taylor addressed the meeting
briefly. telling the men of the plans
which the city is making to entertain
them on July 4, and asking their CO.
operation in the celebration. He urged
them to tell all the ex-service men whom
they met in the city to call at his office
in the Stannard Memorial building for
free tickets for the clambake to be given
to the soldier boys at noon. Some 50
tickets were given out to those present
last evening.
1t was vvoted that the next meeting be
subject to call by the executive COM
mittee. 1t will probably be soon after
July 4.
