was between Rev. Mr. Grigg and
Rev. Charles Reichard of Charlotte,
with Mr. Grigg being the
successful candidate.
Mr. Grigg's name was placed in
nomination by Dan Tompkins and
seconded by H. L. Swain, of Williamston.
His campaign was managed
by Felix Picklesimer, Dextter
Hooper, and Dan Tompkins. This
committee worked with the local
post for more than a year in building
up support for their candidate.
The new chaplain is an outstanding
Methodist minister. He
has served the Sylva church for
the past five years and is popular
and active in Legion circles. He
served as chaplain in the Navy
during World War II and haa
served as Commander of the William
E. Dillard Post.
Attending the convention from
the William E. Dillard Post were:
R$y. and Mrs. Griggf Judge Dan
J&oot'c, Walter Ashe, Col. D. Lag
Hooper, Dan Tompkins, Dexter
Hooper, D. M. Tallent, Joe F. Wfli
son, and Felix Picklesimer.
Mrs. Grigg was the only Legion
Auxiliary member from Sylva at
the convention.

a Certificate to Membership in
the Century Club for having secured
100 or more new members
to the local post during the past
year.
