Several communications from
posts throughout the county were
received, advising the chairman

The post is now without an enter
tainment officer. George w. Vein.
who has held the Office since the
first of the year. sent in his resigna-
ton last night, advising the men,
bers that it would be impossible to
Keep the Office any longer, as his
duties demanded his attention in a
different section of the state. Ef-
forts to have him reconsider his ac-
tion on the part of Commander

resignation was accepted. The
names of members seeking that
Office will be read at the next meet
ing, at which time the Office will be
filled.

pace set by Vein since the first of
the year.

received at the next regular meet
ing on Thursday of next week.
A drive for additional members
will, be made within a short time.

mander to bring back into active
membership those who have fallen
away through some unaccountable
reason. A notice has been issued
that ex-service men who have been
members, but who have not been
active or who have not paid their
dues in some time, will be entered
and declared paid up on the receipt
of this years dues. This action was
taken on consideration of the many
men who have been idle in this city
for indefinite periods.

Anne L. Gallagher, local Red Cross
nurse, who has been exceptionally
active in Legion affairs since her az
rival in this city. and who has re-
