Nothing much can be done II we wait
for them to come to US, but II we ap.
preach the eliigibles and lay before
them the advantages Of our organiza-
ton, both from the economic, bust
ness and social view, very few but
what will accept the opportunity and
join with us In making this the great
est organization Of its kind in the
world-37 state divisions membership
about 10000 and reserve fund OF over
$1S9,000.00. But we must not stop
here. Post G can and must have more
new members before the next state
convention, there is plenty of work
for everybody, we must all keep busy,
The great criticism applying to many
of us is that we just pay our dues
and knock when something is done
that does not suit us. Why some OF
us never attend a post meeting and
could not to save our lives tell who
is president and secretary of our post
Boys, do not let small number of
our members do everything, step in to
the many activities Of Post c and earn
and claim the great reward that
awaits you-DUTY DONE.
Post G Third Memorial held in the
First English Lutheran church the last
Sunday in January was one of the
most, If not the most, successful like
service this post had yet held. The
attendance was greater than any be-
fore and the program was beautifully
carried out by all those who took part
Charles M. ling, Indiana Division T.
p. A. Secretary-Treasurer, who hon
ored our post by his attendance, was
much enthused over the services and
since returning to his headquarters In
Indianapolis has issued circular let
ter to all Post secretaries in the state,
in which he incorporated a paragraph
urging all other posts to emulate the
custom of Post G in holding annual
memorial services in remembrance Of
Brothers who have passed to the
Great Beyond. This post being the
only one in the state whose constitu-
ton and bylaws provide for this an
nual service.
President Bartel has named the fol-
lowing committees to name tickets to
be voted on at Post C's annual cleo
ton: White ticket-John P. Highley.
Benz. Hill and d. l.. Mather, Jr. Blue
TicEet-Theo. H. Hill, John Zwissler
and Roy Fry. The officers to nomin-
ate and elect are President, Vice-Pres-
idcnt. Secretary-Treasurer and three
directors. These tickets must be SUBJ
mitted to the Post at the regular meet
ing in February for adoption or re-
lection by the Post. If adopted, the
post will set time of election which
is usually the Saturday before the
March regular melting. In addition
to the above ticket the post elects
delegates to the state convention.
Post C is entitled to seventeen dele
gates to the state convention and
three will be apportioned to the Post
as state delegates to the national con-
vention. Any member of the Post
may be voted on for delegate to either
convention. Post c has never to our
knowledge been represented at any
state convention held outside of Rich
mond by more than six delegates.
usually not over two. Why? 1t may
be because each delegate must bear
his own expenses, but even at that
does not it show a lack Of interest
in the affairs of our organization for
only one or two members out of to-
tai of over three hundred resident
members to attend these annual meet
ings. Let us wake up boys and see
IL we cannot be fully represented at
this convention, which is to be held
In Indianapolis.
