Dance for
Pennington Legion

Flemington Post, No. 1859, expect!
to hold another of its famous dances
on Saturday evening, December 18th
at the High School Auditorium.
Santa Claus has announced that he
Will be at the post room of Fleming
ton Post, No. 159, at Court street
on Christmas morning between the
hours of 9 and II o'clock with 300
boxes of candy and 800 nice, juicy
oranges for the Siddies of twelve
years and under. No candy or orange
for any boy or girl over twelve years
Sanity says that during the war he
had lot of candy for the boys in
the trenches, but the war ended be-
fore he had disposed of it all and so
the legion boys asked him to give il
to the kiddies of Pennington instead
of saving it for the next war.
On Monday, December 9th, at 7.30
o'clock. Pennington Post, No. 1859, will
hold an important business meeting.
A change in the bylaws is necessary
and at least two-thirds of the mem
bership of the post should attend and
vote on the question of reducing the
number necessary for a quorum from
HlIoGu llCIllUClo ~ AAAAlS tAANAiASNA -
MANY times it is impossible to hold
meeting because of the lack of a
quorum and this change is deemed
necessary. Members Of the post VIII
be notified in writing and if they can
not attend are asked to send IN the
proxy authorizing the adjutant to cast
their votes. After the business meet
inc. which will take only few min
utes, there will be smoker and en-
tertainment Mr.. Harry Ewing, OF
New York, a musician and humorist,
has been engaged at considerable eX-
pense to entertain the members. Each
member attending is allowed to bring
one male guest with him. 1t is hoped
that eX-serviee men of Pennington
and vicinity will take this opportunity
to learn of the patriotism, progress
siveness and good standing of the
largest and "live-wirest' post in the
country.
During the past two months Flem-
ington Post has added eight new mem
bers and the good work still continues.
The post now numbers about 125
members in good standing and before
january LIST will add several more
members to the roster.
A Building Committee, consisting
of DR.. F. A. Thomas, chairman, Chas.
Rvman Herr and George R. Parker,
has been appointed and will imme-
diately consider two propositions. The
first is to enlarge the present post
room and the second IS an entire new
building in which dances can be held
and basket ball and other sports can
be played. The second proposition
is a big one. but the success of all
other ventures of Pennington Post
has led the members to believe that
this new venture can easily be car
ried through. Such a building would
be large enough to house a full size
basket ball court, a tennis court or
an indoor baseball diamond. The
front of the building would be used
for Offices, pool and billiard rooms
and reading rooms. In The basement
would be swimming pool, shower
baths, heater and coal room and
bowling alleys. If it is decided to
carry out this idea the building will
be started early in the spring and be
ready for next fall. If the present
building is enlarged small dances can
be held there and there will be room
in the basement for bowling alleys.
Either of these projects will result
in increased comfort to the members
and should be an incentive to eX-
service men to join at once and do
their bit in helping make this the
best and Invest post in the State We
are already on the map at State and
National headquarters IS one Of the
erence to number of members.
Shortly after January lst the re
port Of the finance officer will be pub
lished to show the public how ably
the boys have carried on without
asking for help. In our shows we
feel that they have had valued re
ceived' for every penny spent. The
legion dances have proven TO be s
very popular item on the yearly cal
endar of Pennington events.
