With the announcement that the

culture Post No. 80 Of the American

by some veteran organization in
this way. It was held that it would
be q good thing for the morale of
the young men to be sponsored by
veterans who have been through
one war.

manding Battery B, 2e0th Coast
Artillery, received . letter last week
from Elmer L. Vennerdrow, COM
mander Of the Legion post, an
nouncing that it had been decided
to award a medal to Battery B.
Mr.. Vennerdrow said that the only
condition Of the offer was that
the officers Of Battery B select the
non commissioned ofIicer or private

estimation, has made the most out
standing advancement in his mill
tary work and has contributed most
for the general good Of the battery
during the season from September
to June. The award will cover the
current period, starting last Sep
tember. and 1t Is planned to have
1t awarded at formal ceremonies to
be held in July, prior to the time the
unit leaves for its annual period of
field duty.
In his letter of appreciation, Capt

had had a most desirable effect upon

desirable If each battery in the regi-
ment could be sponsored by an
