accomplished when the local American
Legion post is enlarged and perfected
was given at the meeting held in the
old Odd Fellows hall on Church street
Tuesday evening. The girls of the
Community Service League were in
vited up after the business meeting
which was concluded about 9:15. AS
the girls entered the entrance hall, lit
tie gasps of amazement escaped them
for the room seemed to be filled and
overlooking with men. Actual count
showed two hundred and fifty men
present, one hundred and forty addi-
tional members since the previous
meeting.
Each man said that he would en-
deavor to bring three other men to
the next meeting which will so in
crease the membership that it will be
only question of weeks before the
goal = one thousand members is
reached. When the membership reach
es that mark the men will no doubt
have become so imbued with the spirit
that the post will be enlarged continu-
ally until the post will have become
one of the most important factors in
the civic life. Then it is more than
possible that the dream for a comn1u-
nifty house will be realized and Keno
sha will be on the map as a real COM
munity center.
Several matters of interest were
brought up at the business session.
The question of ball team, either as
a regular team which would play every
week or a team for occasional games
with teams from neighboring cities,
met with such general lack Of en-
thusiasm that it was decided to leave
the question for further reference.
