DRIVE
FOR MEMBERS
100 New Members Have
Been Enrolled in City
Thus Far

The first reports of the American
Legion membership drive, which is
going on this week throughout the
entire state, were received, from
Raymond p. White, state member
ship chairman, this morning, whom
he reported that at the present time
the membership of the legion is
eight per cen ahead of the lnem-
bership at this time last year. New
Jersey is 10Y in thirty-second place
in membership instead of forty-fifth
the former standing. ,
Various plans are being devised by
the different posts throughout the
state in order that they might double
the membership of their post. Perth
Amboy's plan as devised by the post
commander, Holger Holmes. is that
of appointing each member a com
mittee of one to subscribe at least
one new ex-service man into the or
.ganization. At the last meeting of
the local post it was reported that
about 100 new members had been
enrolled, and that present indica-
lions point to a double membership
for the coming year.
