A membership drive, involving z spirited contest between the three districts of the town, was inaugurated at a meeting of Bolton kasica post of the American Legion last night upon suggestion of State Commander F. P. Armstrong, who gave an inter- esting talk on the possibilities of having a large organization in Berlin
 The commander spoke to an audi ence composed of about 50 ex-serv- icemen, the largest turnout ever seen at Legion meeting. He told of the aims of the Legion and what it has accomplished in this state and na- tionally. He said that he was sur prised at the number of men in at tendance, knowing that the member ship of the post was not large.
 He said that the Berlin post stands a chance of being one of the most active in the state and suggested that the drive be started, friendly com petition between the three districts doing great leal toward securing the results. He said that if the local post can secure 51 members by Au- gust |, 1t %il be allow ed one more delegate to the coming 1tnte conven- ton in August.
 Following Armstrong's talk Com mander Pasquale Giannotta appoint ed members of a committee to ar range for the drive. There will be two from each district. as follows: East Berlin, Arthur Benson and Chester Bunce; Berlin, Wilfred R. Moore and Howard Bunce; kensing- ton, Harry McKeon and Pasuuale Giannotta. The committee will hold 3 meeting soon and will arrange for the drive. IL is expected that the required number will be secured, as Is applications for membership were received last night from ex-service- men H'ho were attending for the first time. Enthusiasm ran high and if is hoped that the post is again on the upward climb.
 Another Meeting Coming
 It was announced at the meeting last night that another meeting of the Legion post will be held next Thurs day evening at 8 o'clock in T. A. B. hall. It was impossible to do much regarding the bonus applications of last nights session, due to the fact | that several members forgot to bring their discharge papers. This matter will be taken up, together with the election of delegates to the coming state convention.

to use the "crusher" on him.
IF Firpo can get S250,0O0 or $780,

ard said, "he viii be foolish If he does
not accept the best offer. My best
price has been named.
''F1rpo is worth 100000 and not a
cent more. believe I have always
known what a fighter IS worth in the
ring and 1 haven't underestimated the
drawing power Of Ffrpo.
I'm discussing a F'irpo-WiIls fight,
1t must be remembered that Wills is
worth something. 1t isn't similar to
the case where Wills would be getting
a direct shot at the title, In which
case he might consider the opportunity
as winning the chance as being worth
something"
