The most important matter now
before Harry A. White Post of Delta,
is the acquisition of home of its
own. For year past home COM

with which to buy has been the great
drawback. It begins to look now as
II the Post will have its own home

city. proposition has been submit

donate a bit of ground that lays be-
tween the alley east of Howard street
and the Garnet Mesa grade, from
is City property. 1t cannot be used
for any purpose. is OF no practical
value. except that 1t can be utilized
by the Legion, or some such institu-
tion as suggested. The City Ciuncil
looks with favor or the plan. but the
consumation must be left to vote of
the people at the next general cleo
tion, whether or not the ground shall
be donated for the purpose named. II
this dream Of a home place can be
realized, 1t is the purpose OF the Le--
gion to erect suitable building. bank
the grade with a rustic wall, put in
lawns. flowers and shrubbery. with
tennis and volley ball courts. and not
only make itself home that is worth
while. but at the same time give an
added beauty to what is now but bar
rem and waste ground. The Post is
actively working on the scheme and
hopes to bring the proposal to a fru-
ition this year.
Five applications for membership
acted on, and about six more pending

the price OF their service, and they
are not to be overlooked in the day
of their distress.
Both the Post and its Auxiliary have
passed the membership mark attain
ed last year This speaks we'll, and
both are still growing.
Rehearsals are progressing for the
