Post Has interesting Session
The regular monthly meeting Of
Harrington Post No. z, American
Legion, was held in the City Hal
last evening, with Post Commander
Charles B. Knox in the chair. a
nice little bunch of veterans were
present and very interesting met
ing was held.
Sometime ago the local posi-
started a movement for the Organi-
cation of a Boy Scout troupe. A
committee was named to work on
the proposition without results to-
date. The Committee is Fred Bloom
and Earl Sylvester. They promised
to interview interested citizens in
the community with view of scour-
ing someone to act as scout master
The Legion also decided to secure
two honor medals to be presented
to a boy and girl graduating from
the Grammer grades each year at
school. The medal will be suitably
engraved and properly presented at
their graduation exercises. The
terms upon which the medal will be
presented will be awarded, will lie
explained in the near future by
some authorized representative of
the American Legion.
The question of head markers for
graves was discussed and it is
thought that some few veterans in
this vicinity are without the mark
ers. The local post expects to ar
range for a marker for any world
veteran whose grave is without one.
Commander Knox also named a
membership committee of three to
interview several veterans in this
section who are not members of the
American Legion. Earl Sylvester,
Harry c. Tee and Theodore Har-
rington are on the committee. A
list of prospective members was
made up for the committee. Adult
ant Sylvester advised those present
that December 31st, was the last
date of extension of the applications
for adjusted compensation. He ask
ed those present to advise if they
knew of any cases in this section Of
veterans who had failed to make ap-
plication.
The trip to Wilmington next Mon
day was discussed at the close of
the meeting and it is planned to
leave Harrington at 5 p. m. Several
members of the local post are plan
ming to make the trip.
Several members of Harrington
Council No. 4, Jr., o. U. A. NJ, will
attend the class initiation of Juniors
to be held at Dover Thursday even
ing.
An excellent program was given
