That's the date set for the Legiou district convention at Nebraska City Aside from falling in the midst of carnival week, it is otherwise a very satisfactory time. We haven't received any other in- fnr -nation as to what to exoect in of our members could be free to at tend. The letter from Neb. City ad jutant stated literature had already been forwarded the various posts but to date, we haven't received ours yet. The blanket campaign has been dragging and all those having books out are urged to get busy. A little effort will enable you to win a nice reward for yourself as well as make the post some money for its stage equipment fund. George Comer was in from Union the other day and turned in his book unsold, stating he just couldn't find time to do anything with it, but wanted to do something for the stage equipment fund, so left a dollar as his personal contribution. It rs such in terest as this that keeps Plattsmouth post the live-wire organization it is Elmwood and Nehawka posts have responded with contributions of $3 each to the medal fund. Nothing having been heard from Greenwood post, a final letter was sent them to dav. The medals will be ordered at once and suitably engraved for pub lie presentation to the winners in the near future. The Legion owes a debt of grati tude to Miss Peterson, county super intendent for her work in-eonnection with the essay contest. In order to assure absolute fairness in judging she sent the numbered manuscripts to the state teachers college at Peru. and personally paid the expense of having them read and graaed. Then, when thev came back, hurried the winning one off to Lincoln by special delivery for entry in the state con test. Our memorial plat in the cemetery have have to have some attention this coming week and if the weather is good it would be well to get a gang out Tuesday night with sycles and lawn mowers. Don Sievers is chair man of the cemetery committee, the other members being Clyde Jackson Roy Stewart and C. L. Pittman. Assurances have been received of Pk. A. Kirkpatrick's presence here as Memorial day speaker. As Historian of Omaha post he is heard weekly on Friday nights from WOW and also well remembered by our comrades v.-ho heard him speak at Eellevue and later at our own district convention here two years ago. Letter is being sent to Col. Trott resraTiir.g the furnishing of a uni formed squad to fire the customary salute over the C A. R. mound and Legion plat, during the morning cere monies at the cemetery, when graves of all war veterans will be decorated Ten vears have wrought havoc with most of the uniforms brought bak from service, and the post is in too poor financial condition right now to afford the purchase of uniforms for a squad, so is forced to appeal to Col. Trott, who has responded nobly to all our requests in the past. Cars will be sent for the men, subsistence pro vided while here and their return to camp arranged for after they have been guests at the Legion dance in the evening if they care to remain. Ralph Larson dropped in this morn ing from Loufsville and informed us the new post there has secured D. W. Webb, draftsman at the cement plant for its commander, following dcclina tion of both himself and George Do lan to accept the office permanently, and is on its toes ready for active work. The first job they are tackling is the Memorial day services, in con junction with other organizations of the town, same as is done here, and Ralph took back with him a grave marker from our supply for the grave of their deceased comrade, Henry Newman, after whom the post there is named. It is mighty pleas ing to see the new post get started off so auspiciously and with twenty members on their roll and as success ful a first year commander as they elected Thursday night, they should keep right on climbing. Plattsmouth post is for you wholeheartedly. This week's tribute goes to C. L. ("Cordie") Pittman, who is another of our active workers. For teveral rar after the war Cordie belonsed years alter tne war coraie oeion0eu to our post, but took no active part, and finally dropped out a year. Later he resumed his membership, came to meetings, became an active worker, and has done much for the success of our activities, particularly the an nual indoor carnivals. On completion of our building, he donated his time to tne DUllling 01 a uite vnumri in, the kitchen. He is a member of the. drum corps and always responds to appeals to go on booster trips and ( otherwise prove of service to the or-; ganization. He told us once that' membership in the Legion without a job is -only hollow formality. Just auoiuer prooi 01 me oii-repeiicu ' statement that one can get no more out of anything than he is willing to pui into it. voraie ns iouiiu mo many others of our membership,- that putting a shoulder to the wheel and i. striving hard for the organization affords vastly more pleasure than ( -tJsittine on the sidelines and watching . . .

Tre price has been reduced to j$3. but there are about ten boys who will be unable to go unless tneir ex- penses are paid. Anyone among our members who would like to pay a boy s expenses to this camp, notify Commander Niel. A list of the boys is in the hands of E. II. Wescott. and; you can pick your boy if you wish. We don't know how many of these, boys belong to the troop sponsored, by our post, but the camp is a worthy j project and it would be a shame to deny any Scout the privilege of at tendance for the mere lack of $3.
