JOINT MEET
Legion and Auxiliary Hear
Clifford Jones Speak On
Fire Company
PLAN JULY 4 PROGRAM

Members of the David c. Harri-
son Post No. ID, American Legion,
and the local Unit of the Ladies
Auxiliary, held their joint monthly
meeting Wednesday evening, April
9th, at the Legion Post rooms.
The speaker of the occasion was
Mr. Clifford Jones of the Citizens
Hose Company No. 1, of Smyrna.
In his talk, Mr.. Jones gave very
complete history of the growth of
Smyrna's fire fighting organiza-
tion. Throughout the entire theme
of his address, the speaker reveal
ed many pertinent facts which
proved to be of much interest to
his audience. Although Mr. Jones
had warned the Legion gathering
in advance that he was not train
ed speaker in any sense of the
word, the result of his unassuming
efforts had quite the reverse effect
upon those who were present. Post
Commander, John F. Herbert has
announced that plans for the ap-
preaching Legion Carnival, to be
held May 26th to May 31st, iclus-
i've, are now being completed.
Plans for July 4th program are
also approaching completion. These
include baseball game in the
morning, between rival teams from
Clayton and Smyrna. The after
noon will be devoted to water
sports and a bathing beauty con-
test. The original plans which
had been made earlier this year in
the Legion Posts program for the
evening of July 4th, have been can
celled. This has been done in a
friendly manner to cooperate with
the carnival committee of the Cit
izens Hose Company who have an
nounced that they are holding
their own carnival on that date?
