A state cash bonus of $1,000 per
month, with a maximum of 5000 is the
sense of the Valley Post, No. Al of the
American Legion. The vote taken On
the matter at the annual meeting was
unanimous to this effect.
The second annual meeting of the
Valley Post was held in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms in the Rumble
building on Tuesday evening, January
25th. The meeting was one of the
local legion organization and resulted
in a commendable program of activity
for the year 1921.
The reports for the past years work
were submitted by the various post
officers, and were approved. The men,
bership of the organization on Janu-
airy LIST, 1921, was 95, and scince that
date there have been four new men,
bers added to the roll. The Finance
Officer reported a balance of $107.2S
in the treasury.
One of the first topics of general
discussion to com before the meeting
was the matter of the Posts attitude
relative to the possible state bonus. 1t
was voted unanimously that the post
favor a state cash bonus of $1,000 per
month and that the maximum be 5000.
Whether or not the bonus question
should be submitted to the people, or
come through legislative discussion
was a matter of question and after
a consideration Of the happenings in
other states, the organization voted the
opinion that all possibility of politics
in the issue be eliminated, and that the
matter be placed before the people d.
rect, and that the matter come for
referendum at the next general cleo
ton.
Inasmuch as it appears to be conced-
ed that there will not be a city base
ball team for Glasgow the coming sea-
son, the Post decided thot their or
ganization make arrangements for a
team and also that a schedule of good
games be arranged for the seson.
1t was also planned at Tuesdays
meeting hat the Valley Post stage of
the biggest dance events in the history
of the county and hat this take place
on the evening of St. Patrick's Day,
March 18th. All members voted to
wear their uniforms at that time, and
also to do all in their power to make
the occasion a real success.
The first Wednesday night of each
month, as designated in the constitu-
ton of the Post, was decided upon as
the best meeting night. Accordingly
the next regular meeting of the Post
will be held in the Chamber of Com
merce room on the evening of Febru-
airy End. The first Wednesday night
of each month is the national meeting
night for all Legion Posts.
