AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARYVERY ~ ACTIVE SINCE ORGANIZATION IN 1931 * Membership of 32 Char ter Members Has Now Increased to Enroll ment of 88 By MRS. W. B. SHEPARD Seven years and one month ago the local unit of the American Legion Auxiliary, called the Edward G. Bond Post Auxiliary, came into being in Edenton, and has since steadily thriv ed and flourished and drawn atten tion to itself as a unit in this great national organization of value and importance. In July of 1931 a Mrs. Moore of Elizabeth City came here to help ef fect the organization of the local body. Naturally it started cautious ly. A few of the members’ wives met at the old court house where the start was made. At the very com mencement Mrs. J. W. Davis was named as temporary president to serve until the following October. Mrs. M. P. Whichard was chosen as secretary and Mrs. John A. Holmes was selected as treasurer. These comprised the first trium virate of officers and under their guidance the unit sprang quickly in to life and in a short time 32 mem bers were secured and a charter was issued to the unit on August 27, 193 L During, the following seven years the unit has grown in every respect. It has made great strides forward under the leadership of its successive presidents: Miss Emma Byrum (now Mrs. F. W. Hobbs), Mrs. C. E. Kram er, Mrs. M. P. Whichard, Mrs. R. E. Leary, Mrs. J. W. White, Mrs. W. E. Baker and Mrs. W. B. Shepard. In work its program has been one of rehabilitation, community service and child welfare. The Edenton unit has always done its share in helping the state department carry out its re habilitation plans. It has joined with other organizations in community projects and has done its bit in child welfare whenever opportunity pre sented itself. In membership the Auxiliary has increased from the 32 charter members to its present en rollment of 88. In this number is in cluded the 12 members of the Junior Auxiliary which was organized under the leadership of Mrs. W. E. Baker and Mrs. W. W. Byrum in 1986-37. The Juniors are an enthusiastic and very much alive branch of the or ganization. For the coming year the Auxiliary will have as its president Mrs. D. M. Reaves and under such an able leader the organization is looking forward to a year even greater and fuller with accomplishments and service to the' State and community than ever be fore.
