Miss Anna Graham. They have all ways responded to my appeals for help, and it is to them we owe thanks for our beautiful national colors and post flag. The splendid way in which they handled the luncheon at the recent county meet ing is one example of their capabil- ity. l doubt if any auxiliary in the country helps it's post any better than our own auxiliary.
 "As to membership, I believed we have increased our men!- bership during the past year. but T feel we could possibly have done better. I think the time is coming when we can boast of 100 members in this post. The entire post deserves praise for the good Sowing made at the Memorial and Armistice Day exercises. Special mention should. be made of the Armistice Sunday parade In Hart ford, when 19 members of this post took part. We had nearly 25 per cent of our post in line and tied with Southington for having the greatest percentage in line. Our financial standing Is about the same as a year ago.
 One outstanding activity of this post was the sale of flags to proper ty owners and merchants of Plain- ville Comrade James Usher, acting as a committee of one, deserved honorable mention for his good work in that line, for nearly every mer- chant and quite few property own CTS have purchased flags. It gave the town uniform street decoration for use on holidays throughout tho year.
 "The week of August 3O-Septomber 4 was our carnival week and it was very successful. We made a profit of S474.47. It had been suggested i that part of the proceeds Of the carnival be used 10 beautify the town lot on the corner of Whiting and Maple streets. The work started slowly at first, but on the lot took on pleasing appearance and finally was ready for the placing of the cap turcd German cannon which was p.ocured for us through the kind bull. Although the entire post gets credit for this job. Comrade Gleason Sanders was the real boss. I think that this project did much to put the | Legion on q more friendly basis with the people of the town, and I sin | Iot fo I, coming year will Q that the work on the park will be carried on as soon as the weather permits this i coming spring.
 Tn closing let me thank every | one of you for the part you have taken in helping me try 10 make this year a successful one. I have pos sibly pleased some and displeased others, but as that is human nature it cannot be helped, but I would sin , corely like to end the year on friend l ly terms with every ono.'
