Harry Bartels, member of the Sit- ka American Legion Post, and the Legion's Department Chaplain, was also present, and reported progress in 1949 for his home post. He is here with the basketball and boxing teams of the Mt. Edgecumbe School. Among the suggestions put for- ward by the Chaplain, was that in favor of the program which became the subject of decate during the post’s, deliberations. Reported by First Vice Com- mander, Robert N. Druxman, was the tentative sponsorship by the Legion, of a series of public enter- tainments and musical programs. Participating with the Legion will be a group of local musicians and the members of the Civic Theatre Players. The outcome of this spon- sorship, Druxman said, might well be a civic orchestra and he report- ed that a representative group of local musicians had indicated their willingness to participate. Numerous other routine reports were given, and refreshments were servgd at the conclusion of the meeting, with Maurice Powers and Joe Alter officiating.
