LEGION I ■ (This column published weekly in the interest of the Ex-service men of Rowan County). The Samuel C. Hart Post held a special call meeting to discuss and vote upon the subject of immediate pay ment of the Adjusted Service Certifi cates held by ex-service men. The vote was 173 for and 4 against. The speaker, Mr. Robert S. McNeill, of Mocksville, made a very interesting speech of the Legion and its purpose, and was well received by his listeners. The Post Membership will be glad to have him come again. Election of a commander to fill the unexpired term of James McKenzie was the only other business to come before the meeting, Kent W. Goley, 1st vice commander, was raised to the :ommandership, R. E. L. Niel, 2nd Ace commander, to the first vice com mandership, and Lawrence Haynes elected to the 2nd vice commander’s place. Both Goley and Niel were offi cers prior to the election, Haynes be ing elected for his first term, and is a valuable addition to the Post’s officers. We wish the new officers every suc cess and hope that they will carry on the Legon’s affairs as well as did the retiring Commander McKenzie. The Flag Escort attended the Spring Tubilee at Kinston Thursday and re port a very favorable reception and an enjoyable time. This was the first pub lic appearance of the Escort for 1932.

Chairman wish to impress upon the Legion mem bership that any paid up member of the local post is eligible to a place in the Escort, and invites every Legion naire to turn out and drill so that they may be ready to go with the Es cort on its trips to the various cities during the season.
