A membership campaign started at
the close of Tuesday evenings meet
ing and will close the evening OF Jan.
S. The Post has been divided into
two teams with Herman Krohm and
Harold Bishop as the respective cap
tains. An oyster supper is at stake
and both teams are out to win. Num-
erous advertising stunts will keep the
public informed as TO the progress be-
inc made in gaining new members
and the standing of the teams.
The first objective of the drive will
be to place the Post over the top for
1926, by January 5. Having accom-
plished this the Post will carry on
its efforts to prove to every eX-Ser-
vice man that membership IN the
Legion is a possession to take pride
in, and not something to be treated
indifferently.
The achievements of the Legion are
too numerous and too important to
allow any ex-Service man to entertain
the latter idea. The Legion acknow-
lodges it's need of every ex-Service
man as a member, and as each year
passes more ex-Service men see that
the need of the Legion. Join now,
be part of the Legion in its growth
AMI expansion. Don't wait until the
organization has reached full bloom.
Participate in it's struggles and eff
forts and you can take great pride
in having been member during the
fight for recognition and the position
that it is bound to occupy in the flu
ture.
Don't forget; have your member
ship ready when member of either
team calls after which, you too, will
be assigned to your teams and will
help finish the biggest offensive the
local post has ever launched.
