 GIVEN UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT l

Decision to lease the old Hodgson house in Howell avenue, opposite the Copper Queen hotel, as a permanent headquarters, endorsement of boxing in Arizona, endorsement of the Red Cross Christmas Seal campaign, and election of new vice post comman- der, were among the important ac- tions taken by L. E. Engle, Jr, post of the American Legion at it's regular meeting in Maze hall last evening, which was attended by more than 200 eX-service men, and proved one of the most interesting and busiest seasons held since the local post was organized,
 The meeting was called to order shortly after o'clock by Post Com mander Dan Aangius, and began with the reading of a formidable array of communications, to which the as- sembled soldiers listened in solid comfort while the cigars and cigar cites were passed around.
 The first communication was from Colonel Epes Randolph of Tucson, head of the Red Cross Christmas Seal drive in the state asking the sup port and public endorsement of the Legion in the move to raise funds through the sale of seals with which to fight tuberculosis. It was stated in the communication that $6.500,000 is the quota to be raised by the na- ticn in the sale of seals, of which Arizona's quota is S75,000. The Le- zion unanimously endorsed the sale, and pledged the support of it's mem bers.

Chairman Snider and other members of the committee urged acceptance of the proposal, as the Hodgson house is centrally located, and MT. Dowell had stated that the. Legion might remodel it to suit it's convent ence. It was stated that the exten- sive grounds of the building could be used for social purposes during the spring, summer and fall months. It was also pointed out that sub-ren- tai of certain rooms at the top of the building would make the building self-supporting Establishment of a kitchen in the place was advocated for the brewing of ''mulligans." and the furtherance of an informal, so- cial "get-together' atmosphere at the meetings of the post.
