Rights were chadged from the sec- ond and fourth' Fridays of each menth _ tp the second and fourth mmnvuwt-fluhn‘ & membership campaign in which tearas cQ of former woldiers will compete with former navy men, . Guests at the meeting included former Cammanders Hallgren and Hollister 'of Winlisor, former Com. mander James Usher of Plainville, and Captain’ Bradley of ‘Waterbury. More than 160 legionnaires st down to Iuncheon ‘provided by the ladies’ suxiliary to the post. Preeeding the meeting. & dinner was given at the Burritt hoet tended by officers of the post, com- mittee chairmen and the visiting state officers, including Department Commander Seaton. Announcement was made of an executive committes meeting to be Monday night. he!!"’ha repoZt of Commander Avery was as follows: “To the officers and members of Fdday-Glover Post, No. 6, Inc., Amer- jean Legion, I have the honor to present to you, this report as your commander for the past twelve onths. m"!t does not seem to me that as 1 report to you this evening, tweive months have elapsed since you elected me to serve as your com- mander, but as look over the record of activities and accomplish- ments, we may well sit back and wonder how we crowded so much into a single year. Budget and Finances When you elected me to this ef- fice, T promised that the Post would operate its finances on & budget plan. This has been done and we have been able to work within our budget with the exception ‘of & very few items. Past Commander E. E. Ogren drew up the budget and has had the operation of it in hand. At the present time, our finances are in & healthier condition than they have been for ome time past. You will get all the detalls from the treas- urer's report. However, it seems pru- dent at this time to mention that 3 debt of about $650.00 (six hundred and fifty dollars) left to this ad- ministration has been reduced to about $180,000 (one hundred and fifty dollars). The handling of funds for a post of this size is no small task and much crerit is due to Past Com- mander Ed Ogren for his faithtul services as Post Treasurer and T wish to extend my personal thanks to him at this time. House Commiittes “The House Committee originally consisted of Carl Kalen, Roy En: minger and George Kinkade, but when they stopped building houses in New Britain, Kalen left us and the duties have been ably taken care of by Comrades Ensminger and Kinkade. My thanks go out to them for their untiring services. “Boost and Pull” “Our monthly paper has been very valuable as a meeting notice and for keeping Post activities be- fore all of the Post members. I have tried to interest new people in {ts management, but the whole job has generplly fallen to Harry Jack- son who has turned in his usual good work along with some of his other numeroys duties. “I would like to recommend that another attempt be made to slightly enlarge the paper with the addition of & few more ads so that the pub- lication may pay the Post a profit. This, I think, is possible. By-Law Revision “One of my first officlal acts after being elected was to appoint a committes to revise the by-laws and to make some changes for the good of the Post. “This committes consisted of H. C. Jacksn, A. H. Petts and E. E. Ogren. “Their recommendations have been submitted and are now in your hands for final approval. Membership *In 1927, we had & paid up mem- bership of 564. Today, we have in- creased that number to 703. Les Goft was chairman of our 1928 membership campaign and deserves eredit for many of its accomplish- ments. However, no membership re- port would be complete without the names of Orrin Curtis, Fred Hoff- man, Dave Ogren, Manville Johnson. Art Petts, and nany others. Art Petts, while he does not admit it hag been the actual power behind the throne as far as membership has been concern:d and my personal thanks go out to Art and his host of membership hounds who have placed this Post on a little pedestal of its own wherever membership Is concerned. “Waterbury had visions of licking us and did well, but you can't keep s good man down and when our good men went to work, it was all over but the shouting. “We have started an innovation in member-getting for 1929 and at this time, the membership cards sre beginning to roll into state head- quarters in goodly numbers so that when the state convention is held in Hartford next year. 1 think 1 am safe in saying that New Britain’s wembership will be measured in by given to Timmy and Larry, Boy’s Camp “Our boy's camp was again & Big feature in the Welfare program. All the little detalls have been heard in the report of the Camp Chatrman. It would be impossible to thank every one individually who had & share in making this year's camp a success. However, the outstanding workers were Mau. rice Pease, Fred Ensworth, Frank Bullock, Carl Kalen, Marty Hor- witz, Carl Bengston, Ray Leonard and many others, and my thanks go out to them all. Boy Scouts - “Our Boy Sceut Troop has im- proved until they have reached the mark of beihg the second best in the ecity, which i» a' worthy accom- plishment for a troop so young. 1 don’t believe there is a more en- thusiastic or a noisier bunch in the United States than our own Troop 7. Durwood Boehm and Everett Turn. er are responmsible for its accomp- lishments and I wish to thank them for their long hours of careful, painstaking work. Ohristmas Boxes “At Christmas time the Post sup- plied funds for sending Christmas boxea to all men from the city who are in hospitals. The work of pre- paring the boxes was taken care of by our Ladies’ Auxiliary and the Home Service Bureau. Sick Visiting “During the past year, I have tried to brighten the burdensome hours of all members who have been eick or injured and although I am sure there are some who were not reached, I have either taken or sent cigarettes or flowers to all I to thank Miss Grace Stowell for assisting me in this work during the early part of the year, Military Funerals “The Post has been called upon from time ‘to time to assist in av. ranging military funerals. In fact, we attended to six during one eight. day period. At one time, we had twenty sailors up from the Gub Base to carry out & Navy funeral. It has become harder and harder to make arrangements of this kind and I be- stech all of you not to offer the services of the Legion in matters of this kind witheut first consulting the commander who has to do the arranging. The Legion is willing to take up work of this kind when called upen to do so, but it is so hard to @5 a real good job that it is best to let people ask us to do it rather than to volunteer and then slip up. I want to thank Capt. Bquires of Co. I for his co-operation in furnish- ing firing squads and all of the members who have faithfully an- swered the call when asked to do 80, egpecially Fred Tyler and Jack 1 Preston. Santo Motta's Trunk “Another outstanding service which was rendered during the past year was the sending of a deceased comrade’s trunk to his home in Italy. “The trunk was sent through to Italy free of charge through the efforts of Art Petts and some of his very good friends who have all been written a letter of thanks for their co-operation. War Risk Insurance and Adjusted “Through the assistance of the Home Service Bureau, many men bave been aided in taking out now or additional War Risk Insurance #hd have also been aided in secur- ing adjust compensation certifi- cates, ‘Wayfarers “At the beginning of the year, we took care of several men who were down on their luck and needed a place to sleep. These men were put up over night and given a break- fast. Several of these fellows were never heard from again but one up- right fellow sent back his check to rdmburse us for the money we spent on him. The numbers were rather thick at first, but we finally refused ene or two and the number immediately dropped off and with the betterment of industrial condi- tions we have had little or none of this kind of reliet to administer. Graves “Early in the year, Bill Kelly asked to be relieved of the duty of chairman of this committee which he had held for several years. Fred Tyler consented to take over the duties and has rendered valuable service in this capacity. This com- mittee now has a location for every vetersn’s grave in New Britain and they take car€ of decorating tre graves on Memorial Day. The four Freds—Tyler, Heffman, Ensworth and Clock—are active on this com- mittes and a great amount of credit is~due them, as is also due all the other members of this large and ef- ficient committee. “Grave stones have been placed in all cases where families have re- quested it and more 1l be done as the families can be found. “I want te recommend that this committee be kept in office so that the good work can go on. Scheol Awards “Eddie Ogren is chairman of a committee to co-operate with the school authorities in supplying med- als for acholarship, etc., in the Junior High schoels. “This pregram is being followed out aleng the lines laid out by the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1928 New Britain’s School Policy MAURICE H. PEASE. National Organizaticn and will be put into effect at the mid-year grad- uation this year. Poppy Sale “All of the above and other wel- fare work is being carried out through our annual Poppy sale, which this year netted the Post well over $1,200. The Poppy committee under the very able leadership of comrade Israel Nair, did a very no- ble job and it the weather man had been good to us, the sale would have set up a record which would have been hard to beat. As it was, all previous records were shattered and the committes chairman and members both are worthy of the highest commen8ation. Other Activities “During the year, the Post has held two dances at the Paragon Inn, each netting a reasonable sum of money. Affairs of this kind should be better patronized and could be as the Post fares very well in the percentage of receipts. “Our show which was held last December was not the success which it has formerly been, but nevertheless, the amount of money raised was in excess of $500.00 (five hundred dollars) which sum came in handy in carrying on the Post af- fairs during the year. “The show committee turned in a lot of hard whrk and the fact that more money was not made was no fault of theirs. Harry Ginsburg is entitled to thanks for his hard work along this line. *Overshadowing all of our other activities and the most important event of the season in New Britain was the lecture delivered by Com- mander Richard E. Byrd on Sun- day, February 3rd, at the Strand ter. ‘Nothing that the Legion has of- fered the people of New Britain in the way of entertainment has been as well received as Commander Ryrd. I want to thank “Dunc” Shaw and his committee for the efficient handling of this affair. “At the convention in Middle- town, we were awarded a cup and two citations. We had the largest delegation there, both during the sessions and in the parade. Orrin Curtis is due credit for getting a parade turn-out of nearly 300 for the convention. Howard Timbrell was elected a delegate to the Na- tional Convention from this district. “At county meetings, Eddy-Glov- er Post has always been represented by the largest delegation with one exception. Your commander has at- tended all of these meetings except the one which was held on the day of the Memorial dedication. “On March 22nd, we visited the Bristol Post meeting and we took so many comrades overethere that the Bristol bunch couldn’t be found in their own hal “On Sunday, September 9th, very enjoyable outing was held at the Boy's Camp and through the leadership of H. C. Jackson about $20 was made for the camp treas- ury. This affair-was attended by about 150 people. And although the Navy poured salt water all over the Army in the ball game, everybody had a goed time and voted it the best panxy ever. This should curely be an arnnual affair. “We took part in the Home Pro- gress Exposition at the Stanley Arena and our display caused much favorable comment. “When the campaign for better music in New Britain was started, we were invited to join in with the other organizations. “Our team took part in the Coun- ty Bowling League and the players had a good time. I never heard whether they won any games or not, but as this is not a bowling post we probably didn't. “We lent our support to the Lion’s Frolic and sold many ticket to the affair which is run for the benefit of orphan asylums in the city. “Harry Jackson has, as usual, been very active in State Legion ac- tivities, as has'also Howard Tim- brell and Eddie Ogren. It has al- ways been my contention that, al- though it is an honor to the Post to have some of its men hold higher offices, yet the services of these men become, in a certain measure, lost to the Post. I am glad, there- fore that more of our men have rot been chosen for these higher places and we have been able to get a full measure of their services here. Right now, however, let me state that Harry Jackson, although he has his finger in various pies throughout the state, alse has his heart and his soul in Eddy-Glover Post and my most hearty thanks go out to him for all of the advi sistance and work that he has given me this year. “We were at last successful in ob- taining a War Trophy for New Brit- ain and today we are proud to point to our gun as the largest, most ugly looking German war gun in the state. “On November 6th, election re- turns were received at the Post rooms and we are deeply indebted to Frank Bullock and his committee for their well-directed arrangements. “The Post has taken & very active part in the arranging and carrying ocut of variou patriotic evercises in the city during the past year. “On Christ Day, about thirty Legloanaires met at the reoms and NATHAN C. AVERY. marched to the Court of Honor where wreaths were placed and & short service held. “On Memorial Day the entire ar- rangéments in the city were.carried out by a committee composed most- ly ot Legionnaires. Eddy-Glover Post turned out over 200 men in the par- ade to do homage to their departed comrades. The turnout on Memeorial Day caused very much favorable comment among local people and went a long way toward cementing the Legion firmly in the hearts of the people of our city. “On Flag Day, a 'delegation at- tended the excrcises held at the Elk’s hall. Mcmorial Dedication At the time of the Memorial dedi- cation, the members of Eddy-Glover Fost rose to their greatest heights in the matter of efficiency, service and loyalty. In the face of political strife and petty personal feelings of our city government, the Legion finally gained control of the parade committee and the results spoke for themselves. The parade was the largest ever held in New Britain and moved with a clock-like pre- asion due o the great efforts of Curt Shelden, Eddie Ogren and the rest of their committee. The only accident during the whole day was something that can better be told by Harry Jackson than I. “The Post turned out a delegation of about 500 led by the new drum corps, which made a hit all along the line, Armistice Day “On Armistice Day, the Post spon- sored a large public meeting at the Stanley Arena. On Sunday evening. the ministers of the city, the Wen- nerberg chorus and our band, play- ed an important part and on Sun- day afternoon a large delegation took part in the dedication parade in West Haven. “Monday at 11 o'clock, the Poat marched to the Memorial and laid a wreath there with appropriate ex- ercises. Monday afternoon was left open so that members might attend any of the various celebrations throughout the state, “It is my recommendation that plans be at once formulated for a county celebration on Armistice Day and that the county organization plan this ovservance so that it will take place in rotation in the various cities and towns of the county. “During the year our Post has begn the recipient of various cita- tions «nd honors, the most impor- tant of which was the citation from Natigal Headquarters for having at- tained a rating of 940 points out of & ,possible 1,000 in efficiency for 1927. This year we will rank 955 points and unless somebody picks up a few they will have to go some to stop us from getting another cita- tion for 1928. “We received a cup and two cita- tions from the state convention as well as a citation for having reached our membearship quota. “Taken by and large, the Eddy- Glover Post has much to be proud of for its achievements during the past year, especially the Drum Corps. This outfit which has been the dream of a few of its members since about one year ago, is nows a flaming reality—thanks to the ef- forts of & committee composed of Dave Ogren, Roy Ensminger, Walt Milkey and Howard Timbrell. These men have organized the corps, equipped them and trained them to the extent that we now have a corps which outshines anything in the state and which is yours today, comrades, without one cent of debt and with money in the bank. “For accomplishments such as this we can feel justly proud, com- rades and I assure you that I have been proud to act as your leader during a year in which so much was done. However, no man could have arranged all of this by himself and 1 want to again thank you all for the help you have given me. I could not name all the helpers — the list is too long—but anyone would have a hard time running this Post without Jackson, Petts, Ogren, Pease, Leonard, Bengston. and a few others, so let me say thank you to everybody so that I can include them all. “My recommendations are few. “Steps should be taken as soon as possible to obtain a hall space so that dances, meetings and social af- fairs may be carried out, and some method should be established im- mediately to send the drum corps to Louisville. “And now, my comrades, I leave you as your commander after four years of active service in offices of the Post and I ask your leave to take a rest of about one year during vhich time I hope to become ac- quainted with my family and return later to take up whatever activities you may need me in. “Respectively submitted, “N. C. AVERY.” Reports On Boys’ Camp Reports on the boys’ camp were made by Maurice H. Pease chair- map of the committee, and Fred J. C. Ensworth, secretary treasurer. Mr. Pease's report follows: “The Eddy-Glover Boys’ camp completed its second season on Augusc 30, 1928. The camp was operated for eight weeks and dur- ing this period some 75 boys were cared for in groups of 16. The usual poried of stay was two weeks. “You are all no doubt familiar with the excellent location of this camp at Burlington and with the equipment of the camp, which is in line with the best modern practice| THis year a large mess hall wis built. It is & structure 20 feet x 30 feet built in sections, bolted together 0 it can be readily moved if it be- comes necessary. This provides, not only a mess hall but also a gather- ing place for rainy days where the boys can read. play games or listen to the radio. As in the case of all our previous construction, the entire hall was built by willing Legion- naires. “Willlam A. Hamp was again the director and Everett Turner the chef. “The season. we believe has been & successful que. The boys have been benefited physically and the environment and direction have been conducive to a healthy frame of inind, and favorable to the develop- ment of the right sort of character. 1t was necessary to exclude many deserving boys on account of our inadequate accommodations. “The selection of boys was made with greater care than last year. The first group was selected from our Junior Achievement club, the second from our Boy Scout treop, care being taken to exclude any boys who could go to the regular Scout camp. The third group was selected for us by Miss Cara Beal, ang the fourth was composed mostly of boys recommended by Legionnalres. Platuville News . “T wish to take this occasion to thank the men of the post and women of the auxiliary for the many hours centributed in working for the camp and in visiting it. Meney is necessary for the operation of the cimp. byt no less neceasary I;’the time and interest of our mem. s, “The camp 1s closed and made snug for the winter. Our 50 blankets were used last year by the Chil. dren’s Home and will be again this winter. A welfare service worthy of mention. “The present site can probably be used next summer, and during the years to follow it is possible that sufficlent water will flow into the stream below the point of diversion by the City of New Britain so that the swimming pool can be kept filled. In this case it will not be nec- essary to abandon this camp site. “We have the following recom- mendations to make for the coming year: “1st. That the size of the camp be increased by one bunk house. “2nd. That the camp be opened by an advance guard one or more days before the arrival of the first regular group. The advance guard to consist of the director, the chet and three or four boys who have attended previous camps.' “3rd. That provision be made to keep surface water out of the spring. . “4th. That a fly-tight lantern be provided. “5th. That a covered slop pool be provided. “The secretary-treasurer will re. port to you relative to the finances of the camp and relative to the con- tributions other than money.” Mr. Ensworth’s report was as fol- 1o 8 secretary since the organiza- tion of our Boy's camp, I sincerely hope that the post membership ap- preciates the services of Legionnaires Whitman, Powers and Bulleck who planned, laid out and supervised the construction of your camp during the past two years; and also the services of the various groups 6f men, too numerous to mention individually, who so willingly went to the camp night after night and aided in the construction of the various build- ings, from digging post holes, sawing hundreds of two by fours, four by fours, etc., to driving nalls and even getting covered with tar. Your camp has been constructed without one dollar expended for labor. All ma- terials were purchased at very low- est prices and many times extra dis- counts wers granted because of the program. “Food and supplies were also pur- chased in most cases through local wholesale firms. It might be of in- terest to know that among other things, over eleven hundred quarts of milk were consumed. “Complete and thorough examina- tions were given each boy before go- ing to camp and we are very grateful to Doctors Grant, Zwick and Aaronson for giving their services, to the committee gratis. “We were fortunate in not hav- ing any sickness or any serious acci- dents throughout the two seasons, which, we believe is of great credit to director Hern and Legionnaire Turner, through their close supervi- | sion of the boys at all times. “Your personnel committee worked consistently throughout the season and endeavored to select the most worthy and underprivileged boys from our city. We have received A number of gifts this season and our appreciation is expressed to Le- glonnaire Zink for donating the Ford truck used at the camp; to Legion- nairé John Ball for two truck tires and one Ford battery; to Legionnaire Bannon for a radio battery: to Le- gionaires Kalin and Horwitz for two tables and six chairs. Henry Morans and Alling Rubber company for ra- dio batteries; John W. Lockett for one Atwater Kent radio and loud speaker, which proved a welcome addition to the camp. To William. C. ‘Wall for his services the past two seasons on our water supply at the camp. Also for many other gifts from Legionnaires, members of the women’s Auxiliary and citizens of food, candy, fruits, etc., sent or de- livered personally at the camp dur- ing its operation. “Your Finance Committee de- serves much credit for bringing our camp program before the citizens of New Britain through letters and circulars and their response was very gratifying. “Our files hold many letters from over one hundred representa- tive citizens who expressed their ap- rroval of our endeavors and en- closed checks for various amounts from $2.00 to $25.00 each; one citi- zen forwarded a $50.00 check to fur- ther this goed work. . “It should de ef interest to know that the average cost per boy per week was $8.27. “As treasurer. I submit inventory appraisal of Camp Eddy-Glover. “Camp Bddy Glover equipment in- ventory—2 bunkhouses. cepacity 16 boys; 1 mess house, 30x30; 1 house Called Inspiration to State Dr. Meredith Praises City at Vance School Meeting —King, Holmes and White Are Speakers. New Britain is an inspiration and a challenge to other cities in the state to enlarge their scale of edu- cation facilities, Dr. A. B. Meredith, state commissioner of education, told several hundred members of the Robert J. Vance school Parents and Teachers’ association last night. The statement was made in connection with the first formal public inspec- tion of the building, which is situated at the corner of Shuttle Meadow avenue and Vance street. The attendance was the largest ever recorded at a meeting of the association. The early evening was devoted to an inspection of the building and conferences between parents and teachers. At the exer- clses which followed, in addition to Dr. Meredith, President P. F. King of the school committee, Superin- tendent of Schools Stanley H. Holmes and Principal Marcus White of the Btate Normal school spoke. Children of R. J. Vance Present The school was named for the late Robert J. Vance, who repre- sented this district in congress and who later served as mayor. Present as guests of the association were Mrs: Agnés Weld, daughter of Mr. Vance, and her husband, ex-Mayor Gardner C. Weld: Johnstone Vance, & son of Mr. Vince, and Robert C. Vance, another son, and Mrs. Ro. bert C. Vance. Mrs. Robert J. Vance | was unable to attend. Fred O. Rackliffe, the Parents and’ Teachers’ associa- tion, presided. A program of music was given by the Benior High school orchestra under the direction of George B. Matthews, supervisor of music in the public schools. Investment, Not An Expense Mr. King emphasized the fact that the school, which cost $326,846.50, is an investment, not an expense. He drew a parallel between a large business corporation and a city, ex- plaining that development of the personnel is the most important consideration in the progress of both. The school, he said, is a fac- tor in organizing and developing the personnel of the community. Mr. King referred to disagreements with the school board on its financial pol- fey, answering the criticism by say- ing that citizens should do as much as possible in the construction of schools not as little as possible. Parents Invited to Use School Supt. Holmes laid particular stress on the fact that the school belonged to the community. adults of the district to make fullest use of it as a recreational center and as a place for cultural develop- ment. Mr. Rackliffe referred to the fact that funds for paraphernalia used at the school playground had been pro- vided by Mrs. Robert J. Vance and he expressed the gratitude of the association for her thoughtfulness and generosity. Beautiful With Children Present Miss Elizabeth Leghorn, principal of the school, spoke briefly, saying “You think this is a beautiful place now. You should see how beautiful it 18 when the children are here. Their smiling faces are a constant challenge to the teachers to do their very best.” She complimented the members of thg faculty for their genuine interest in their children and for their appreciation of the facili- ties afforded by the magnificent monument to education. Principal White of the Normal schoo! said he would assume the privilege of his years and delve into the past for the purpose of com- paring conditions then and now. He spoke of the struggle many years ago to give students at the old Nor- mal school practical training in six rooms. Real equipped with large army stove and storage room; 1 large ice chest and food chest; 50 heavy wool blankets: complete cooking equipment; 1 ra- dio; 2 tables; 6 chairs; 1 tent; 1 flag pole; 1’ Ford truck. “Conservatively estimated value $2000, upon which we are able to protect with $1000 insurance.” president of | He invited the | providing more commodious quar- ters and extending the facilities for teacher training, he set about, with the assistance of community leaders, to improve the situation. “I'm glad this school has been named the Vance school because it | was in no little measure due to the | icfluence and help of Robert J. | Vance and his newspaper that we | did obtain- additional facilities tn New Britain for training teachers,” he declared. Bartlett School Not Fit ! Mr. White spoke of the days when ! the Bartlett school was used for | training. “We decided eventually to | leave there,” he said. adding: *I | think it would be better for every- | |one to leave that school—it is not | | fit for children.” | Mr. White humorously referred to | |the Vance school as “my school.” | He said that he was not ashamed to | ‘leave the Normal school which the | | state has built in Belvidere and taie | visitors to the Vance school.” It is | a beautiful building with an in- spiying influence on the children who attend classes here.” he asserted. Greetings From State Board Commissioner Meredith made a | hurried trip from New York city to attend the meeting, expecting to re- turn to New York at its close to re- sume’ attendance at a meeting of educators. “I bring greetings from the state board of education to this | association and extend f best { wishes and congratulation he be- |gan. “I cannot think of any school | for elementary work which com- | | bines 80 many desirable features as | the Vance school.” Mr. Meredith pointed out that the influence of the school on young women who are training for the teaching profession is great. that in- | fluence spreading throughout the state so that New Britain will have a part in the development of the commonwealth | New Britain Aids Education | “The history of New Britain shows that it has done voluntarily for | teacher training what has required legislative enactment in other | places,” he said. He pointed out that Connecticut has a capital investment | of $6,000,000,000 in educaiton, bas- | ing his statement on the fact that $24,000,000, or four per cent of that sum. was spent in the year 1927T. “This directly affects hundreds of thousands of adults and children and tens of thousands of teachers,” he added. “By its example, New Britain 18 an inspiration and a challenge to other cities in the state to enlarge their scale of education facilities.” By a show of hands the Parents and Teachers’ association made known its desire to have Johnstone Vance show motion pictures of his recent trip to Alaska at a future meeting of the assoclation. Before adjourning the meeting, President | Rackliffe expressed his thanks to | the High School orchestra and Prof. Matthews.
