AMERICAN LEGION NOTES
Sussex Post No. s

Sussex Post No. 8 meets the first
Monday night of the month. The
next meeting will be held in Milton
on Monday, May 5th.
We heard that one of the Comrades
of Sussex Post No. s was so excited
the other day that when he wanted
to call up his wife he gave the oper-
ator the wrong phone number.

On April 22nd the Legion Ambu-
lance was used to carry Reba Chan
dler from Dagsboro to the Lewes
hospital.

Lest We Forget! Each year dur
ing the week preceding Memorial
Day the Legion sponsors and the
Auxiliary conducts a National Pop
py sale to provide funds for veterans
welfare work. This is truly honor
ing the dead through service to their
comrades-the disabled. There is
only one official Legion and Auxil-
iary Poppy. 1t is made entirely by
disabled men and bears the approved
label of both organizations. Insist on
these official Poppies and your ef-
forts will do double duty in behalf
of the disabled.
Wear Your Button!
The great American habit of
friendliness makes the smoking COM
partment of every Pullman car a club
in which a lapel button is often the
passport to new friendships. Ma
tional Commander o. L. Bodenhamer
in his travels about the country has
met and talked with scores of Le-
gionnaires on trains, among them
many men who did not know that
their fellow traveller and companion
for a few hours was the Legion's Ma
tional Commander.
"The friendly conversations which
have followed some fellow Legion
naire's glimpse of my Legion button
have meant much to me-" Mr.. Boden-
hamer told his srecteary, Roger c.
Holden. Occasionally have met a
good Legionnaire who wasn't wear
ing the button. I'd like to have
every Legionnaire wear it. I am ex-
pressing this wish now in every let
ter 1 send to a member of the Le-
gion."

some lively and some dreamy, but
they all have pretty melodies. There
are also some snappy dances. We
are sure you'll enjoy it. In fact we
know you will. Tickets will be on
