MEETING OF THE LEGION

The meeting of the American Le-
gion last night was one filled with pep
from beginning to end. Heated argu-
ments began to fill the air from the
time Commander Moremen called the
meeting to order, until the new pre-
siding officer, Commander O'Neal de-
clared the meeting adjourned.
Interest in the meetings is becom-
ing more and more pronounced and
the attendance is larger each time.
Members who were absent last night
missed discussions equal to those
pulled off on the floor of large con-
vention. At about 1890 the meeting
showed signs of lasting until morning
so the ladies of the auxiliary asked
the commander to call recess while
they brought in some refreshments
for the post. They served chicken
salad, sandwiches, olives and coffee.
When all had partaken of firsts, Sec
onds and thirds of this sumptuous re-
past the meeting was again called to
order and the and birthstone again
filled the air.
After another heated discussion and
the installation of officers for 1922,
the post adjourned at something after
midnight and the members went hap
py to their homes with all argument
satisfactorily settled.
CAL" you sure missed a good meet
ing last night. Don't forget the meet
ing of the convention Monday and
Tuesday, JAN 9th and 10th.
