Pou-Parrish Post Elects Officers H. \. Rose Is Commander; State Commander Cherry Makes Appeal For Sponsor ship Relief Disabled Yets The P( u-Parrish Post- of Hu* American Region met in the cent-ihouse in Smithfield on Fri day night, February la. ami clce' i <1 a new outfit of officers for tile year PJ2t>. The post after pull irg a big and glorious Armistice day celebration in Selma on Nn vc.i.oer 12 kind of went into win ter quarters, and little since that time has been undertaken or done by tlu* post. But the ties which bound the hoys together in ‘17 and *18 still have their hold upon them, and so it was arranged that an election of office r.s and a rally ot membership should again be staged. The following officers were elected: H. \. Rose, commander; Charles F. Fulglnun. vice cojn mander; Ruby F. Royall. ad in i'1”1: Ira C. Whitley, finance offi cer; and Roy R. Johnson, chap lain. Present, at the meeting «>u Friday night was John Stedman, H't uale:gh, who is the district | adjutant, and George Boss I’on, ; also of Raleigh. At this nun*ting I abou^ thirty members were ro-in | stated, an,| Comrade Pou made a i speech before the post, in which i be urged the boys to build up the j post to its former strength an 1 I standing. He stated that n< -turn I as it recruited &s many as It!;" | paid-up memihers that he would {feed tile boys again with a fish fry at Holt's Lake or some other i appropriate location, j The post had a second molding jin the courthouse on Wednesday j night, February 20. The state com |manders, Messrs. Cherry and .John CStedman, were present at. this | assembly, and several matters of importance to the former service men were taken up and discussed. State Commander Cherry made a strong and urgent appeal to the post for their .sponsorship of re lied of disabled veterans who are now in the government hospitals without government compensation. The Veteran’s Bureau, he pointed out, will hospitalize any former service man with an honorable dis charge no matter when or what may be iii- trouble or its origin; 'but it is only causes that originated in the army or were aggravated thereby that will receive govern irent. disability compensati< n. H made it clear that many i f th.*i ■boys w ho are now in the hospi;I | are there simply for treatment : only, and that in many such case.-! they were undergoing: hardship-.! and privations that were a dis j credit to every Weil and aba.; bodied ex-service man t in •'*<_- i state. Commander Cherry believe that the Pou-Pnnd-h post <-an ! create a civic interest in thi- j class of disabled veterans, and I his appeal in their behalf \v;o very I iforceil'ul. I no po-1 will moot again next | Wo dm.,'day night at eight ♦■'clock in the* court room. The purport ef this mooting is to appeal again to the veterans for re-instutement <T membership and for a more perfect organization. This post un der the oommandership of I) Carlton Stephenson has been one uf t!u* mo'i active po?ts in the entire state, and the newly-elected officers and members desire to see the post again take its place with the best organized and best, serv ice units of the entire organiza I5I1.I IK DOVK ON SCREEN | IN IWG DRAMATIC STORY Hi Hit* Dove, popular First Na j tiotial star, comes to the screen of the Sander^ theatre once more in “The Night Watch,” her bites, j .starring production.
