 The executive committee of Brock Barnes post, American Legion held a meeting last evening in connection with the drive for members which started today. It was decided to hold an open meeting in Grange hall next Monday night.

Coffee, sand wiches and cigars will be passed lround Every eX-service man is in-
 
 vited to attend.
 The membership drive committee started to work with a will this after- noon and in the ensuing week. the members intend to interview every eN-service man in town. Each mem- Der of the committee has been assign ed to one or more streets and he will be expected to see the ex-service men in his district to solicit for member ship.

An easy payment plan has been suggested and the members of the committee will explain this to the men whom they interview.
