The local post commander urged
veterans to not only vote them
selves but to do everything poss-
ible to insure that members of
their families and their friends
and neighbors also exercise this
privilege. Veterans were also urg-

While VFW posts, as such, do
not, under ordinary circumstances,
engage in partisan politics, mem
bers are encouraged to take active
roles in the affairs of community,

men who have achieved outstand-
