to l3e completed by the incoming
administration. This work consists
of getting employment for unem
ployed veterans, procuring compen
sation for them, procuring pensions
for the widows of deceased veter
ans, handling the disposition of the
bodies of deceased -veterans who
have died away from home, and
procuring information as to the

“This being the ‘bonus year’ it de
volved upon our post to handle the
applications of ex-service men for
their adjusted compensation bonds.
Applications for bonds were handl
ed directly through this post, an of
fice having been kept open for ex-
service men throughout this admin
istration.
“The aibove are the major activ
ities in which this post has engaged
during the past year which should
convince the public at large that
the American Legion’s activities go
’ farther than the promotion of the
welfare of its own members.
“Further than this, one year ago,
this post 'had no tangible property
other than the loyalty of its mem
bers and some $20.00 in the bank.
Since that time it has purchased
its own permanent quarters con
sisting of the Johnson brick build
ing. Tlie upper story of this build
ing has been thoroughly remodeled
and the lower part is rented for a
sufficient amount to Hquidate the
entire project and leave a monthly
balance for maintainence, repairs
and insurance. It has a complete
kitchen and dinning room equip
ment which has been purchased and
is being paid, not from the dues of
the members, but from the rents of
this equipment and the hall. A
$2,750.00 piano, a Steinway Concert
Grand, has been purchased by the
post.
“In making the above, I wish to
let the credit be placed where it
is due. For the building, we are
largely indebted to the local lodge
oi the Masons from whom the
property was purchased. They had
a given amount of money tied up
in the property and could have sold
it to an individual at a handsome
profit. Instead of doing this, they
turned it over to the Legion for
just what it cost them. If it had
not been for this spirit of theirs
our post would possibly still be
homeless. The Rotary club also
gave us quite, a boos.t in the ar
rangement that they made pertain
ing to the equipment.
“As to the other activities and the
growth of the post, this is
tributaible to any one ma , j ^
of men, but to the sp»r.t of oya. y
and the eagerness to „
