] NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1930. JOHNSON NEW HEAD OFLEGION BRANCH (Continued from Page Six.) post in the Legion County league, finishing the season in third place. “The post was active in advocat- ing a municipal golf course and at the breaking of ground the post was represented. “Flag day exercises were held by the New Britain lodge, B. P. O. Elks at their home. Buglers from the post corps participated at the exercises, and many of our members attended. “July 4th saw the unveiling of the monument in honor of General Count Pulaski in which the post participated. “Favorable commendation was re- ceived from the city government for the action taken by the post in re. turning the money appropriated ‘or the Armistice Day celebration to bs used for the unemployed of the city.” “To celebrate the successful mem- mership campaign a “Victory Night” was held by the post at the Legion boys’ camp at Burlington in July. Various sports took place and lunch- eon was served. A ‘lclur) bonfire concluded the occasion. “Many Legionnaires attended the state convention at Bridgeport and headed by an escort of New Britain police under Sergeant Feeney they marched behind our drum corps in the parade. The prize for the best appearance in line was awarded to cur post. Our invitation to be hosts of the state convention in 1931 was unanimously accepted. Eddy-Glover post received recognition by having one of its members, Past Comman- der Arthur H. Petts, to represent Hartford county on the state ex- ecutive committee. “Many were the actlvities in con- nection with the national convention at Boston. The largest post delega- tion from New Britain ever present at a national convention marched behind our drum corps. Musical Organizations *Eddy-Glover drum and bugle corps has been a great assistance to the post. In local parades, at the state convention in Bridgeport and the national convention in Boston they proved themeclves a splendid asset and the post can be well proud to have such an organization. The band bearing the post nam has participated in local celebrations and rendered a splendid concert in conjunction with our Armistice Day program. Tadies Auxiliary “The ladies have been a valuable aid to the post. To Mrs. Petts, the auxiliary president, and her unit, I express my thanks and grateful ac knowledgment of their cooperation and assistance. “Recommendations have been pr sented by your commander to the post advisory committee and they Wwill present them in due courée of time for your consideration. “For the assistance that they have rendered to me as commander. I wish to thank the adjutant, Fred Clock, personal officer, Harold Rus- sell, news officer, Russell Snailer, and treasurer, Otto Miller. “To the 838 members on our rolls today I hope that their enrollment with this organization, the greatest | of its kind in the world, has been pleasant, and that the incoming ad- ministration will have your menew- als and your whele hearted support | |to again make this the largest post in the state. | “It was a pleasure {o serve you as | commander in the past year and on leaving the office 1 thank you one and all. “Respectfully submitted, “EMIL F.

Silk American Legion flags are also placed onthe graves of all veterans whose bodies ‘were returned from France, and all de- | ceased Legion members. “On Memorial Day, May 30, the following report: “The graves registration commit- sent their 11th annual report | for the year ending October 23, | 1930, and it should be of interest to the membership that the entire per- | sonnel of the original committee is still actively serving in this part of the post’s program of service. “This .committee consists of 16 members, the first eight names list- | ed being the original committee, the remaining members having also served for several years: Chairman, Fred W.

We honor the memory of the following men: rec- | the at the World“do’zs and coffee. Then, led by 123 smaller wreaths wreath were placed with the aid of the Boy Scouts and post members at the World War Memorial during he memorial exercises. Thirty inch wreaths were presented at the Span- and one | ieh and Civil war memorials in the |name of Eddy-Glover post. “When we realize that the first report presented by this committee contained only approximately 50 names, and this present report 190 names, we should all realize that this part of the post’s program, in loving memory of our departed comrade, is a steadily growing duty which must be carried on until the last call has been answered by all. “Respectfully submitted, ‘FRED W.
