creased income from other sources. II
was unanimously voted TO increase the
annual post dues to four dollars, SO
that the organization would be near
er self-supporting, and so that the
proceeds of post entertainments
might be devoted more exclusively TO
the Post Trust Fund for the Memorial.
Mr. Lessard has been a most effitie lent
finance officer. and as will be noted
later was reelected for another term.
Post Commander, Roy l.. Marston,
verbally reported the activities of his
Office. outlining broadly the policies
which he believed were essential IL
the Legion was to completely fill the
needs and purposes as laid down In
the glorious Preamble of the consti-
titution of the American Legion. He
strongly urged that the trust fund In
the Savings Bank be held as nest
egg and never touched for current
expenses. He besought for the new
officers the same loyalty and consid-
Grafton from the members that they
had shown him throughout his term.
After the reports. the post proceed
ed to the election of officers with the
following results Post Commander,
BERTHE | Rice: Vice Fos. Commander,

other officers of the post are appointed
by the Post Commander. Harold Z.
Woodbury. who has most efficiently
served as adjntant since the organiza
tion,- declined reelection owing to
other pressing requirements upon his
time.
Capt. Bertic |. Rice. the new Post
Commander. has had long military
career. He served for many years In
the old Go f., End Maine Infantry. in
cluding several years as its company
commander. He WAS at one time bat
talon adjutant in the regiment. Al
the outbreak of the World War. he
enlisted in the Milliken Regiment OF
Heavy Artillery as a private. He rose
rapidly in the ranks and soon became
top-sergeant OF the headquarters com
pany of the regiment. He was several
times recommended for commission
in the regiment. but his services in
the headquarters company were In
dispensible and, the commission never
came. His service in the Argonne and
later in the Army of Occupation in
Germany was very highly commended
by his superior officers. Under his
lead, the post should have a most sue
cessful year.
Final arrangements for the Reunion
of World War veterans in Grange
Hall. Friday evening, Dec. 30th, were
reported by the committee OF arrange
ments. The post and Legion Auxil-
iary are to give a supper and dance To
all service men and their ladies on
that night whether they belong to the
two organizations or not. and 1t Is
hoped that everyone will come.
