What Legion Men Are Doing

Delaware Post No. 1 will meet
next Monday night at the armory.
Several new ideas, very important
for the welfare of the Post will be
brought up and it is desired that all
who can be on hand do so. Among
other things to come up is a plan TO
hold election Of officers semi-annual-
ly instead Of annually. This is a
very radical change and seems TO
be one that will require a great deal
of thought to and have a good bit
of discussion on, before it is finally
passed. Another change proposed
is to cut down the number Of mem
ber's necessary to constitute
quorum for the conducting of any
of the Posts business.
