Last evening true to the accept-

hawka Legion post extended last
Tuesday, a carload of the Platts-"
mouth Legion members last even--ing
drove down to the splendid little
southern Cass county city to enjoy '
the evening with the live wires of
the Nehawka organization. 1
The occasion was espeially set
aside for the installing of the new-;
ly-elected officers of the post and who
were inducted into office by Dearie
Baker of Shubert, district commit
teeman, who very impressively gave
the charges of the offices. i
The newly elected officers of the
Nehawka post are as follows: j
Commander A. G. Cisney.
. Adjutant Welter J. Wuuderlich. !
Finance Officer Tom Mason.
' State Commander Jean Cain was
called upon for a talk but made his
remarks brief as he felt that the oc
casion was one of special good fel
lowship that would be best enjoyed
in visiting rather than in ion
speeches and accordingly with a few
remarkB relative to the drive for
membership in the coming season the
state commander made himself just
one of the "boys," as he was in the .
days of 17-18 when with the rest of
the Iowans and Nbr?.Fkans he bat
tled the sand down at Camp Cody, j
The Nehawka post had arranged
a fine oyster stew and over which '
Tern Mason presided and gave the .
members and the gueft3 a real treat j
in the way of oysters and all of the i
tr.Lratrings that went to make a real J
treat for everyone. True to the prom
ise made. Dearie Eaker, was present '
with his famoc cidfr, sweet and1
sparkling as the sunberros playing
on the fairest mountain etream and
v.'hich Bill Krucor saw was distrib
uted to the members of the party.
The Lesrion members had the
pleasure of having v.ith them to en
joy the r yster stew, the members of
the fa-ulty of the Nehavrka schools
as well as D. C West, well known 1
banker and who assisted in making
away with copious offerings of the ,
delicious stew. !
After the oyster supper the rest of
the evening wac spent in the talks
over the eld times from Cody, Tike ,
and France and Germany by the
members of the party. !
