A full attendance of members of the local post at the'»ext monthly meeting, Tuesday night, August 5, is urged. It is promised that some in teresting reports of the state con vention will be given, and a discus sion of the memorial prospects will highlight the meeting. This writer has noted a growing interest in the memorial possibilities, and can fore see a city-wide (maybe a pounty- wide) desire of Legion members— not to mention the average citizen— to be a part of a movement that wiil be a credit to the city and county. Coach Walter A. Johnson, 1 of Pres byterian college, will be the principal speaker. Those fund-raising dances, adver- i tised elsewhere in this paper, are still swelling the Memorial fund, and causing lots of fun at the armory each Saturday night. The public is invited to attend.
