Gets Citation
The American Legion Post of
Harrington are very proud of let
ter received from the Department of
Delaware commencing them for
their splendid record in regards to
getting their membership roll for
the new year. During the year 1927,
the local post had an enrolment of
% members. During the latter part
of November and until the end of
the year a membership campaign
was waged with the result their roll
of members was equaled to last
years enrolment. There are still
many of the old members not enroll
ed and it is very likely that more
will be secured within the next
month. Their record has been pass
ed on to National Headquarters and
a citation will be received from
there in a short time.
