The passing of Brother John B. Heg-
ger, who was laid to rest in beautiful
Earlham cemetery Dec. IS. leaves a
sorrowful gap in T. P. A ranks, not
only locally in Post C. but in state
and national circles as we'll. Loyal to
the core, he brought the entire force
of his distinctive personality to the
enthusiastic support OF all things for
the improvement of our association,

forts and conveniences of the best
furnished T. P. A. club rooms In the
state. What John believed to be right
he fought for with logged determine
ton and while he may at times have
been temporarily defeated, he was
never crushed or conquered. Unspar-
ing in his criticism of all he consid-

his time belonged to any good cause.
Throughout the many months of his

of course, but the crowd will be there
There is a good-natured competition
among the boys who are handling the
ticket sales, with Ollie Often well in
the lead. Every resident T. P. A. is
in duty bound to buy a ticket for the
annual ball, the profits from which
go to paying the running expenses Of
Post c. A very considerable item Of
expense is for flowers for sick mem
bers and tributes for the dead. In
creased rental for the rooms, re
sponses to charity calls, magazines
papers, and countless other unavoid

the state office pays only a part Of
the running expenses and therefore
