The majority Of the Posts member
ship which numbers seventy were pres
ent. After the meeting Mr.. and Mrs.
George F. Bostian assisted by a corps
of ladies served a delightful chicken
stew and coffee. This being made pos
sible by the generosity Of Mr.. George
F. Bostian and his charming wife, both
enthusiastic members of the Legion and
Auxiliary. These two miss no oppor-
tunity to make the Legion welcome,
and work faithfully to further the
cause of the Legion and the Auxiliary
in our sister town of China Grove To
them, we of Salisbury and the mem
bership of China Grove Post, owe
much for their splendid hospitality.
The Freeze-Leazer Post voted unan-
imously to support Bryce Parker
Beard for Commander Of the Depart
ment of North Carolina for the year
1932-1933, appointed a committee to
work with the Samuel C. Hart Post,
and will instruct its delegates to the
State Convention to be held in Ashe-
vile % vote for Mr.. Beard. BY their
very much appreciated action, we Of
the local post feel more than ever that
we of Salisbury will welcome the State
Department to Salisbury after the
Convention to be held in July. Bryce
Parker Beard for State Commander or
BUST, is the slogan we have adopted
and by living up to it will bring to
Rowan county the honor of furnishing
the next State Commander.

|. There was a special called meeting
of the Samuel C. Hart Post Thursday
night, March 31st, for the purpose Of
organizing the Escort, and to consid-
er and vote upon the attendance of
the Escort in Kinston at the Jubilee
to be held there April 21st. The Fort
Bragg band, Raleigh Drum Corps, New
Bern Drum Corps, Goldsboro Drum
Corps and Kinston's w fifty-piece
band will be there, not to mention the
Marines who will do some plain and
fancy flying. They assure all attending
Legionnaires that there will be beau
coup to eat, consisting Of thirty bar
becued pigs, twenty pots of SHAD
stew, and the necessary adjuncts that
go with those viands. There will be
much music, plenty eats, and, and,
words fail me. Be there if you have a
1882 card, that will be the passport to
the doings.
The Samuel c Hart Post proposes
to collaborate with the ex-service body
in Eastern Rowan at an early date to
hold a get-to-gether meeting, and a
membership rally. We feel hat those
lads in that section should be with US
in the Legion, in the spirit of COM
radeship, and the fellowship of good
fellows, and the only way we know for
them to meet us and let us meet them
is to get together and express u mu-
tual feelings, eat the same food, sing
the same songs, talk of the times that
were, and the times that will be, hence
the get-to-gether. If you live down
there, or know any ex-service man in
that section, or elsewhere, that does
not belong, bring him, and be sure
that every member attends. We can't
expect the non-member to attend if
the member stays at home. All togeth-
er now for the biggest and best year
of the Legion. Yours for a bigger Le-
gion. and consequently more useful-
ness and amusement,
THE LANCE CORPORAL.
