On the 10th of April, we found
ourselves with a brand flew ad
ministration when Bill Perry in
stalled newly elected Officers at
the Post home. Bill was com
missioned by the State Command
er, Jim Wallace, to do the honors
after Harold Langdale indicated
he wished the service be, conduct
ed by Bill. Bill Perry qualified
for the honors inasmuch he is
twice past Commander of the
Post and past commander of the
First District.
No new business was taken up
by the floor except the approval
of new decals for the signs to be
painted for the front section of
the Post home. The appointment
of officers to fill appointive offi
ces will take place soon. This
will be accomplished by the new
commander, Buck Langdale. Now
is the time to vie for a job, if
you’re interested in any of the
following appointive positions:
Adjutant and assistant, assistant
to the quartermaster, historian,
service officer, etc.
Incidentally, if anybody is in
terested in the recipe for Mulli
gan’s stewed rock, see Jim Bas
night. He cooked up a big batch
the other night and had little
trouble getting rid of it. Any
one got any bicarbonate . . .
The attendance is improving at
the weekly meetings. There were
more than twenty-five out last
week and there very definitely is
an improvement in participation, j
If you’re one that’s been lagging
back, come on out and meet some
of the new members. By the
time you read this, we will have
passed the 125 mark in paid mem
bership for this year. If you
haven't yet paid your dues, we’ll
be glad to accept them any time.
—o —
For the past month or more the
Saturday night dances have be
come more and steadily more
popular. We have attracted cou
ples from Sunbury, Windsor and
Plymouth and they keep coming
back. Why don’t you get together
a crowd and come out for a
real good time. Music is furnish
ed by Randy Lee and his combo
featuring popular, swing, waltz
and old-time square dancing.
For those who aspire to the fad
of the era, rock and roll is found
in the combo’s versatile reper
toir. Remember that admission is
only a dollar per couple and only
couples and members in good
Standing are admitted: You don’t
have to be a member if you’re
with someone of the opposite sex.
Bring a crowd with you and have
barrels of fun .. .
The radio-dance party is heard
live from the Post home and
broadcast through the remote fa
’ cilities of WCDJ radio every Spt
-Ufday St J. P..M. The program is
sponsored and has several weeks
to run. Some of the sponsors are:
Bill Perry’s Texaco Service, Jim
Basnight Grocery, Earl Jones

Shop and Nu-Curl Beauty Salon.
The public of all ages are invit
ed. The doors are opened from
two through six P, M., especial
ly for the teenagers. No alcoholic
beverage may be dispensed dur
ing these hours. Soft drinks and

Do you know who giyes the

White Stores. The door prize is
drawn each Saturday night and
you could be the winner of sev

It was pointed out that a new
school building could be erected
on Route 32 or 17 at a point
which would be convenient and
at the same time provide ample
space for the school and its recre

The Commissioners were some

made by the trustees, but no defi-1
nite action was taken. They ex- 1
pressed a desire to give the idea
more thought and investigation.
No estimate of the cost of land
and a building was advanced, but
it is abvious that a bond issue
