The Legion held its first regular eeting since its re-organization yes >rday afternoon, with most of the cal members present. Among other atters discussed was the question of te Women's Auxiliary. A move will i made in the near future to get i's important branch of the work ganized. At present the membership : the Abbeville post is too small to istify the formation of the auxiliary i the qualifications for membership the latter organization depend on le.formei;. A committee was ap jintea yesteraay iu sec cA-octviv-c en who at a previous meeting ex ressed the desiretp join the Abbe lle post. W. D. Wilkinson and G. C. ivetenburg are the members of this >mmittee. Next Meeting. Due to the small attendance at the eeting yesterday it was decided to ive a second meeting this month 1 February 16. At this time many atters of importance are scheduled >r consideration, and it is hoped iat a good attendance can be had. he meeting this week was not suf :iently well advertised but with a hole week to advise the men there ill no doubt be a good attendance, fie suggestion was made and adopt 1 that each paid up member bring lother ex-service man with him. The Bonus Question Abbeville Post, No. 2, has not dis ssed the bonus law, and a majority >inion on the subject has not been ught. This question may be brought > for discussion at the next meet g. The state department at one of > first meeting's went on record as ing opposed to the bonus until oper provision had been made for e wounded and otherwise injured :-service men. If a referendum uld be had from every ex-service an in the county it is probable ac rding to some, that a majority >uld favor the passage of the law. has been suggested, whether wise or unwisely, that a bonus law ight prove cheaper for the govern ent in the end, since the law is iderstood to carry a provision that further pensions will be granted. Vfter all," says one member, "there not much difference between pay ent in a lump sum .and having the ;ony over with than the yearly pay ents that would be sought for the sxt century, as has been the case ter previous wars. If the present >nus measure is a vote getting heme, once it is over the political lestion would be removed and the liticians could hunt up something >e to use as a vote-getting lever.
