Perhaps the biggest undertaking OF
The post was the hiring OF the Haf
roonia hall, now the American Legion
rail-, as a meeting place and dane"
,all. Much work was expended by
The members during the first month,
he hall being entirely redecorated
and painted, and attractive dacora-
lions being placed over the windows
md doors. All who have visited the
hall have been loud in their praise
saving that it is one of the prettiess
tails they have been in.
The newly installed officers are
anxious that the citizens OF Mllbank
should realize that they are ready ami
willing to cooperate in every move
rnent for the general good Of the COM
munity. 1t is one Of the cardinal
principles of the Legion. In return
they ask that the citizens give their
hearty support to the public actlv-
tiles of the Legion, such as Memorial
Day, Fourth of July and Armistlce
Day. All the Legion can do is pre-
pare the programs and activities, the
public makes success Of the occasion
nv their attendance and moral sup
port. II is little to ask, yet it means
much to the life Of the LegionPost.
