safely accomplished. The Christmas tree and wreath sale netted a fine profit. The organization of an emergency and relief squad was be- gun and happily carried out to con- clusion. Boy Scout work has been progressing rapidly and with results we can be proud of. Several inter ruptions were had during the latter part of the year, but these could not be avoided.
 The American Legion junior baseball league has been carried out presentations of the usual Legion testim onial, a silver loving cup, to the champions of the town league. No better athletic program then this can be given the boys, for it creates better sportsmanship and good fel- lowship.
 This year marked the incorpora- ton of the post.
 Programs Still Unfinished

 The graves registration commit tee progressing rapidly on their pro- gram.
 The air way marking is now in use. but it is still unfinished. There is still an orienting arrow to be laid out, which will be taken care of in the near future.
 Tn closing this report I want to thank all the officers, standing com mittee Chairmen, and other mem bers of the post for their hearty CO., operation. Without this united effort progress could not now be definite ly assured
 "A few hints to help your com mander are:---
 "Try to attend the meetings of the post.
 Attend a county meeting once in a while. You will learn much to your advantage as well as the Le- gion's.
 We have vacated Legion hall in kensington and moved into the new quarters in the basement of the town hall. This room is being re- conditioned and will make a fine place for the post. The move to the town hall was made in an attempt to save the town the annual rental of the hall. which amounts to $500. With this in mind, that we are working for the good of our com munity, state. and nation, l would ask that all the members work hand in hand with our new commander in our new home.
 Respectfully submitted,
 HI. H. Bunce."
