Post No. 1 of the American Legion held its first regular meeting last night at the YMCA auditorium at which time Carl Schug, the temporary president resigned because of political conditions and Captain Jackson M. Painter was unanimously elected to take his place. The meeting was called to order by President Schug and the minutes of the previous meeting were read by Lyell Spangle, secretary. Letters from Governor Sproul and Mayor Archibald Hoagland, the Board of Trade, the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club, all containing congratulations, were read.

It was ordered by the Post that all of the letters should be framed and spread upon the minutes and that copies of the resolution should be sent to those sending the letters. The appointment of James Herdic as publicity chairman, John Fisk as employment agent and Dr. R. W. Spencer in charge of the war risk insurance, was confirmed.

The report of Byron Houck who was a delegate to the first convention in St. Louis, was read by himself and was accepted. The use of the council chamber at City Hall was graciously granted by council through Mr. Houck.

The temporary charter, received from the state organization, was accepted at this time and group ordered that it be framed so that it may be preserved.
