American Legion Post News

At the regular meeting of Post 181,
American Legion, on Tuesday, It was
voted to ask permission Of State
Headquarters, to change The name OF
lie Pest from W. R. Dyer Pest to
Walker-Dyer Post, No. 18I.
ms change was decided upon as
it was felt that the native sons Of this
community were not given sufficient
consideration in the original decision
in the naming of this post.
The change is in no way deroga-
tory to Mr.. Dyer, who was the first
mar from this locality killed in action,
but it is felt that the name Walker
Dyer instead of w. R. Dyer will be
appreciated more by the old residents
Of the community. The changing Of
the name to the Walker-Dyer Post
represents a native son as well as the
first mar to be killed in action from
this locality.
The Post hopes to have in its room
the picture of every man from this
community who gave his life for this
country.
Mr.. Fries represented this Post at
the meeting in Salem on August ~ OF
the Flying Squadron of the Wan RISK
Bureau for Veterans who had Just
claims against the government.
The FLYING Squadron stated that
they handled about 65 cases and most
of them were in bad condition. They
recommended compensation for most
cases and hospital treatment for
others.

The story of the explosion at the
D. o. D. recently, when two men were
killed. which was printed in the news
papers at the time, has resulted in
George Moffet finding a brother and
sister whom he had not seen for 30
years. Moffet was given prominent
mention in the newspapers for his
bravery in helping to carry a wounded
companion away from the exploding
shells. A few days later Motfet re-
ceived a letter asking him to cal! at
No. 721 Vandever Avenue, Whining
ton. Exchanging family history with
the supposed stranger. Moffet found
him to be his brother, Henry. As the
brothers were seated at the dinner
table a sister, Mrs. John Baldwin, OF
Bellefonte, Pa, came to the house
with a clipping of the story and said
she was on her way to Penns Grove
to look up Moffet. She refused to be-
lieve that the man before her was her
brother until she examined his neck
and found there a scar inflicted when
he was a baby.
