Sylvester Declines To Serve
On National Committee
According to an announcement,
Earl Sylvester, National Executive
Committeeman of the American
Legion of Delaware, will not be a
candidate for reelection at the De-
partment Convention to be held at
Hotel Henlopen, Rehoboth Beach,
next Friday and Saturday. Mr.. Syl-
vester has been a member of the
committee for two years, having sue
ceeded ]. A. Crothers, who resigned
account of leaving Delaware, short
ly after being elected in 1928. The
present incumbent was the alternate
committeeman at that time and was
elected to fill the unexpired term by
the Department Executive Commit
tee. The retiring Executive Commit
teeman has an enviable record of
Legion service, having been adjutant
and service officer of Harrington
Post No. z since it was organized in
1919. He has represented the post
at all Department Conventions held
since that time. His efforts as Post
Service Officer have been quite sue
cessful and many claims of various
kinds have been granted as result
of his prosecution. Prior to being
elected Department Executive Com
mitteeman, Mr.. Sylvester had held
various other department offices. He
served on the Department EXecu-
tive Committee during the admins
tration of the late Colonel Speakman,
was Vice-Commander in 1924 and
was elected Department Commander
in 1925. During his administration
the membership of the department
was more than doubled and the ac-
tive Nanticoke and Sussex Posts or
ganized, giving the Legion the much
needed strength in Sussex county,
and since that time three other posts
have been organized in this county,
Mr.. Sylvester is connected with the
Burris Express at Milford, and gave
no reason for not being candidate
to succeed himself. He is a dele
gate from Harrington Post No. 7 to
the coming convention.
