A packed house looked on Sunday
afternoon as the Morris L. Slaughter
Post No. 126 of the American Legion
dedicated its meeting hall and downstairs
lounge in honor of the last three
charter members of the 58-year-old
post.
The post building at 1410 Attucks
Street was named the Clanton-Cranford
Hall in honor of former post commanders
Odell Clanton,-85, and Wade^
Cranford, who died last year. Stevens
. Lounge was named in honor - of ?charter
member William Stevens.
It was an emotional moment as the
wheelchaiivbound Clanton, Stevens,
and John Feimster and family, son of
Cranford, made their way to the front of
the hall*
Clanton wiped a tear from his eye
before being shown the plaque bearing
his name and that of Cranford by post
commander J. H. Foster.
"1 didn't think on July 15, 1918 that I
would come here to see this,'' said
Ganton. That \ was the day Clanton

After landing in - France, Clanton
received mustard gas wounds which
have trouble him ever since.
"Thank God, he spared me these 85
years to help somebody and I'm sure
glad to be here," said Clanton.
A jovial Stevens said, "I've been
nervous ever since 1 heard about this,

children except one son in Detroit who
sent a floral display for the occasion.
"It was wonderful to pay tribute to
those who have done so much and
contributed so much to your post," said
commander Foster. "Brothers Clanton
and Stevens were the ones who got me
to join the organization." Foster said
Cranford loaned some of his money to
help purchase the Jball which will now
bear his name.

The rising cost of heating fuel is likely
iu cause a numoer 01 iires ana accidents
this winter, according to a city fire
prevention official.
With oil and gas prices likely to
double last year's, some people may
throw caution to the winds trying to save
a little energy, thinks Oscar Beal,
assistant fire marshall.
"A lot of people will be using cooking
equipment for heat," he said in an
interview. "The problem is that those
stoves will consume all the oxygen that

Another type of mistake resulted in a
double fatality here last winter. "If a
stove is running short of oil, don't try to
refuel if while it's hot," said Beal. "It
could cause either a smoke explosion or
a blast explosion."
Electric space heaters are another
trouble spot. "Electric portable heaters
should not be used with an extension
cord," added the assistant marshall.
