organized troop of Boy Scouts, to-
q gether with Scout Master ]. G.
Messner and Chaplain Rev. r. H
! Collins; Harry S. Harrington, presi-
l dent of the Chamber of Commerce
and Policeman Emory. The post
was also honored by the presence
of Ralph Carey, of David c. Har-
rison Post of Smyrna, and Adjutant
Will Baynard of Plant City, FlOri-
da. The G. A. r. veterans were to
have been guests but due to the
fact that they travelled the rural
sections the day before placing
flags ON the graves of comrades,
they were too tired to attend. The
election of delegates to the Depart
ment convention at Rehoboth re-
suited as follows: Delegates, Earl
Sylvester, Fred Bloom and DR.. JOS
eph Bringhurst; alternates, Elmer
Smith, Sewell Knox and Theodore
Harrington. The local post went
on record as favoring Bill Matthews
for department commander, and so
instructed their delegates to sup
port him for the Office as long as
his name appeared on the ballot.
Commander Heinel installed the
officers, as folIows:. Commander,
Charles B. Knox; vice-commander,
Lewis iClymer; adjutant, Earl Syl-
vester; finance officer, Theodore H.
Harrington; Chaplain, Elmer A.
Smith; Post historian, Harry c.
Tee, and argeant-at-Arms, Benz.

of the Scout troop. The guests

merce. He lauded the work Of the
American Legion, and particularly
congratulated the Boy Scouts in
their efforts toward the new or
ganization. Legionnaire Carey |

hews. Legionnaire Baynard, of |
