Gus unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary, Wednesday evening,
June 4, in the Third Christian Com
munity House, Seventeenth and
Broadway, it was decided to pay off
the balance of the units pledge to
the Riley Memorial fund, amounting
to sos. This is the units individual
portion of the pledge of $500, made

the auxiliary. The work for the Riley
Memorial has been definite part of
the auxiliary's child welfare activity
and with the fulfilment of this
pledge, another distinct line of work
will be outlined by the unit. The
Hayward Barcus unit was one Of the
earliest Indiana units and had as
unit president for three years, the
first department president of In
diana, Mrs. Edna M. Barcus, for
whose son, the post and unit were
partially named. He entered the
service at the age of IL, and was
killed in action, early in the year of
1918. The unit will use the new ex-
duplication of the ritual as ap-
proved by the Central Division con-
ference.
