Upon learning that the Kiwanis Club of our city opens its meetings with the singing of patriotic songs, and that they have the American Flag always on display at its meetings, we presented to the local Kiwanis Club a handsome American Flag. We showed the Kiwanis Club, by this tok en, that we greatly appreciate their efforts to promote patriotism, and re spect to our Flag. Early in the year. Charlie Macon, an ex-esrivce man of our county, fell a victim to tuberculosis, as a result of being gassed in France. At the time, he was residing in Durham. He was unable to work, had exhausted hia finances, and had become down and out, both physically and financial ly. He is married and has several children. He became desperate, and as a last resort, sold his child's in terest in the Macon estate for the piti ful sum of $100. Upon learning of this, our Post purchased the deed to his interest in the estate, had it re corded in his wife's name, and presen ted the deed to her. Our Post sponsored the National En dowment Fund, for the relief of dis abled veterans, their v. ives and child ren, and the World War orphans. We were most ably assisted in this work by Mr. William H. Ruffin, who served as chairman of our local committee, and many other generous citldens, who are not ex-service men. Our own members gave liberally to the drive, of both time and money. We cannot over estimate the assistance that was given to this worthy accomplishment, by our Post Auxiliary. Our Post's quota was fully subscribed. Our Post sponsored the movement, and assisted Comrade Jim Anderson, of Wilson, in selling the businessi men of our city, the unit Flag System of decoration. This system insures the display of the American Flag in a respectful manner, and is a striking and beautiful display for all patriotic occasions. We responded promptly to the dls tree* call from Coal Glen, N. C., where a coal mine explosion, entombed a great many miners, and wrought dis aster among many (amltes. Our State Commander wired for money to relieve the suffering, and within thirty min utes from the receipt of his request, we had forwarded the requested amount by wire. An ambition of years waMilled with the establishment of the Jambes Me morial Cup, in the high schools of our county: This is a very handsome sterling silver loving cup, which we placed In our high schools as a me morial to our beloved comrades of the World War, who were residents of Franklin county, who made the su preme sacrafice for our God and Coun try. This cup is a living memorial, in that lt'serves as a trophy for essay writing. Our Post will choose some patriotic subject each year, for the essay contest, and in this way we hope to stimulate better essay writing in our high schools, and to collect and preserve valuable historical data, con cerning the part played by Franklin county in the World War. We also presented a gold medal to tile indi vidual scholar, who produced the win ning essay. This cup was won in 1925 by Guy Moore, a stuent of Cedar Rock High School. The BUbject for the contest for 1925 was, "The Signifi cance of Armistice Day to America." The high school winning the cup will hold it until it is won from them. The funds for the purchase of the cup and medal, were realized from the. pro duction of a minstrel, which was a decided success from every angle. Our Commander, Major Sam P. Boddie, has assisted numerous ex-senr ice men in filling out their applica tions for Adjusted Compensation, and has secured hospitalization for several disabled ex-service men under the new hosptUHntlon act. Our Commander deserves unstinted praise for his un selfish assltance to comrades in our county. Our Post has held two very bene ficial social functions during the year, at which each legionnaire enter tained one or more guests, who are not ex-serrlce men. These affairs hare done much to solidify the bonds of friendship between our friends, who were not in service, and the members of our Post. We aw signally honored. In haying as a member of our Post, a man who has won national honor and recog nition. Comrade Kllmus E. Joyner, brought high honor to himself and to our Post by winning third prise in Frederick Palmers contest * for (he best answer to the following ques< tlon: "What good did I get out of my service in the war?" Comrade Joyner competed successfully against Legion nalres throughout the whole of the United States and foreign posts, we are also honored by having Adjutant T. K. Htoekarjl. elected committeeman of the Murth District, State Execut ive Committee. ? On Deoamber 2nd, our Post held Its annual meeting for the election of . "Dirt Farmer" T. O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois has a 4,500 acre farm Tear Oregon, Illinois, to which he applies "dirt farm" methods. Mr. Lowden manages the immense tract, leaving the actual farming to. ten assistants, who are both col lege-bred and sons of the soil. officers. After our meeting we ea tertained the officers of tlye posts of the Fourth District at a turke: dinner. We were honored by having State Commander Henry L. Stevens with us on this occasion, and repre sentatives of the Confederate Veterans and the Spanish American War Vet erans. Our object in having this dinner was to promote closer friend ship among the Legionnaires of thi Fourth District, and to discuss plans for the furtherance qf worthy work foi the Legion, that will bring credit t< it. This dinner was a most successfu and beneficial affair. On the whole, our Post has enjoye* one of the most prosperous, unselfish and beneficial years, that we have ex perienced since our organization. Signed: T. K.
