LEGION BUSY
At So. ANBOY
Discuss States for Coming
Election of Officers of Luke
A. Lovely Post

| SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 21.-Luke
A. Lovely Post, No. 90, American
Legion, after several weeks quietude,
is springing into real life again. The
news that certain men of the ranks
are seriously thinking of entering
the race for offices for the coming
year has gained considerable pres
tige within the last t~wenty-four
hours. The old-time spirit, which
has been the outstanding feature of
the local post, is again shown.
John Conlogue is the present COM
mander and. under the bylaws,
must necessarily drop into the ranks
again in December. 1t leaves the
office of commander as well as the
various other offices vacant next
month. Charles Mulraine is prom
inently mentioned for the office of
commander of Luke A. Lovely Post.
His greatest asset seems to be the
fact that his is a thorough business
man. His proven ability to handle
all kinds of sports demands the at
tention of the followers of this sort
| of work.
Coupled with the name of Null
raine is that of Louis Rosenberg,
His work the past year as head OF
the jubilee committee and the Arm
istice Day dance, marked plainly he
IS one Of the few who is willing to
devote a large percentage of his time
to legion activities.
The names thus far advanced
| bring into the limelight some of the
| old-timers, who, for various reasons
have not been as active as they
should have been. The successes at
| tanned while the legion had it's head
| quarters on Broadway, and the
| Statewide interest at that time
seems to be the lot of the post
again.
While many of the BOYS of the
post feel that NJ. Lee Stults is the
| one man in the ranks who can sue
cessfully carry on TIE work of en-
tertainment officer, there are Others
who are of the opinion that the
| office of adjutant would also be in
| his line. Ray Downs, the Battling
| Plumber" seems to be the choice OF
a large number for the office oil
athletic director.
Since interest thus far has spread
like wildfire, the legionaires are oil
the opinion that whoever meets
| with the approval of the members
| the post will receive the benefit de-
rived from real active officers who
can command the help of the men,
bership.
The officers this year have estab-
iished a precedent thas will go down
in legion ranks as a year OF ac-
Complishment, and no matter what
the choice may be, Commader Con-
logue and his corps of efficient
helpers have done wonders in
bringing about another successful
year OF legion activities.
1t will he remembered that the
task of furnishing the recently pur-
chased home, with many other I'M
dertakings, was the lot of this
years officers. The officers were in
no little handicapped by
the fact that dues fell short OF what
they should have been. The un-
settled condition of the employment
in and about the city created this
handicap. But in the face of all
| this. hard work on the part of those
active members. made for Luke A
Lovely Post the successful year II
has been.
The present board of trustees,
with Commander Conlogue, are
considering plans whereby a bowl
ing alley will be annexed to the
legion home. Other plans, that may
or may not be carried out, include
the installing of a POOL table.
At the next meeting, to be held on
Thursday night, delegates will be
elected to represent the post at the
county convention. to be held at Pts
Getaway. December 2.
Commander Conlogue has been
mentioned as a possible candidate
for the office Of county commander.
The local post believe that if the
commander is at all anxious for the
office, enough prestige on the part of
other posts. will enable him to get
the majority Of confidence.
