OFFICERS
INSTALLED BY
LEGION POST

Thursday night Of last week was
a big night in the history of Fred
Duncan Post No. %, when many new
members were initiated into the Post
and 1925 officers were installed.
Fred Duncan Post No. % now has
an exceptionally active membership
and 1t is hoped that before the year
ends the membership roll will con-
tain the names of at least 100 ex-
service men.
The local Post was honored at this
meeting by having as its guest Mr..
Harry B.. Henderson, Jr.. of Cheyenne,
state commander, Department of Wy
oming.
Department Commander Hender-
son gave a very interesting address
to- those present at this meeting. Each
Legionaire, after listening to Com
mander Henderson, felt that the De-
partment of Wyoming had a COM
mander of whom every member had
reason to be proud. Commander
Henderson spoke OF the activities OF
the American Legion and showed
some of the things this organization
has accomplished and is accomplish
ing. not only for ex-service men, but
for the country as a whole.
At 1890 the ~Legionaires adjourn
ed from the lodge room to the din
ing room where a turkey banquet
was served to them by the Ladies'
Auxiliary. This banquet was a dan
dy and the members of the Legion
not only voted thanks to the Auxil-
larry but also voted to reciprocate in
the lear future by serving a banquet
to the ladies.
