PAGE FOUR YEAR REVIVE SHOWING RESULTS OBTAINED In the notes below is given in bri¢t! outline the public or semi-public activ- ities of the George W. Vroman post of the American Legion during the past year. Last summer at the time of tho state convention of the department of Wyoming, held at , 26 mem- bers of tho local, post meeting us represent of Casper. Included number were both the official delegates of the loca! posts and the visitors from the ves of the local post. All of them were perma. ment residents of Casper and many ‘were engaged here as br or pro- than any other fersional men.

A month or so after the passage of the tax exemption bill the local post of the legion held open house to all exservico men and advertised among ex-service men of the commu- nity that the county assessor would be present at that meeting to give us an idea of our rights and privi- leges under the newly enacted Jaw. County Assessor Lyle Jay's explan- 2 of the provisions of the act and the manner in which its might be received was quite a vatu- able lesson to ex-service men, both legionnaires and others. Another regular meeting of the legion was given over to the study of the proposed city manager municipal government bill. Ambrose Heming- way w cured as a speaker on the gave a very instructive subje ®}explanation of the provisions of the bill, and pointed out the workings the plan in cities where it had been in effect. Many questions were asked of the sypenker. Secretary Charles B. Stafford, of the cham- ber of commerce, was another speaker upon the same subject ‘at anotier time. At the suggestion of the chamber of commerce, the American Legion followed the example of other civis orgtnizations and formulated a set of resolutions indorsing te city man aget plan Aand+recommending the pas sage of the Casper-Sheridan bill to our representatives at Cheyenne. A similar educational meeting of ex-service men was held by the le- gion previous to the state highway bond issue election. Mr. C. H. Bow- man, of the state highway commis- sion was the speaker of the evening. The state highway bonds were offi- ally indorsed in resolutions of the post and copies of the- resolutions were pubtished in the Casper papers in support of the campaign for the bonds. Through the kindness of Professor Rudolph Lundberg a series of four- musical recitals were given in clubrooms of the post during the past winter. Professor Lundberg's. recitals were complimentary to the the Brhich. followed ¥ both those who fa ¥ored and those who opposed the bili frere heard.

Every recital called forth a capacity audience ap- preciative of good music, and the post was only sorry that it had no more commodious quarters in which the concerts could be given. At the close of the series a hani- some loving cup was presented to Professor Lundberg in token of the esteem he has gained among legion paires. 7 Affording free entertainment > members of the post and their friends a series of free dances was given dur- ing the past,winter in the clubrooms The parties were necessarily small but none the less enjoyable, and the post has the pleasure of entertaining the members of the women's auxiliary on these occasions, ties to entertain our auxiliary organi- zations would otherwise bé hard to find, The American Legion Stampede last fall was an effort on the part of the post not simply to make profits but to show Casper and. its commift nity a good time, give an opportunity for entertainment for local . people, and incidentally to advertise the city of Casper_and the Casper post of the the cost of living, but we Casper women are economical buying and the their money-saving SATURDAY SPECIALS Pork Shoulder Roast, Ib...

By far the most notable, and to the legion the miost sa! accom- plishment has been the success of the local post in finding employment for ©x-service men—«iostly in the vicin- ity of Casper. This one activity alone phould justify, in our opinion, the ‘good standing of the post in the com- munity. Records Mr. Calhoun, through whom most of this employment work has been ac- complished, show that positions have been secured during the past year for a total of 569 unemployed ex- service men. Furthermore this has not been a Selfish activity. All ¢x-service men whether members of the legion or not—have been the beneficiaries of this activity. It cannot be fairly said that no distinction has been made, because it has been natural. that greater and more prolonged interest is taken in the case of a man who has come to us with the recommenda. tion of a legion emblem sticking in his button hole. Answering the indispensable need of a large “young man” population of the city of Casper,\the local post has maintained its clubrooms here during the past year. Many single young men in the city would other- wise have no better loafing place than A public pool hall. Many of them take their meals at public restaurants and are able financially to hold their rooming places barely suitable to meet their needs of sleeping and dressing. Otherwise they “live” no- where. The clubrooms afford them warmth, company, library facilities of upwards of 1,000 books, feading and writing rooms, music, free stationery, mail de- livery facilities, and everything the post is able to put at their disposal to make their idle time more of a pleas: ure. Lastly, the local post of the legion, at the request of the Spanish-Amer- iean war veterans, this year took over the leadership in the Memorial day @emcnstration. In this matter the committee of the legion undertook only to draw up plans for the demon. stration, invite the community partici- pation, and correlate the various de- tails of a community affair. Dis- tinctly {t was not an American Le- gion ceremony; it was a community, a Casper ceremony, anf the legion gladiy filled its function in making itself the vehicle through which the vommunity demenstration could be made as erractive as all ge EAI BA ee PREFER various June 20.
