FAREWELL TALK TO LEGION MEETING MONDAY EVENING
Claude C. Carnegie Ends Summer Stay in Juneau-Returns to Portland
A feature of the Monday evening meeting of Post No. 4, the American Legion was a brief farewell talk given by Claude C. Carnegie, post member, who has been in Juneau taking care of his private interests during the last several months. He will leave this week with his permanent home in Portland as the destination.
In the absence of Chester Zenger who has been at the annual Legion convention at McKinley National Park, and the Territorial Boy Scout Jamboree, First Vice Commander Bob Druxman presided.
In addition to routine matters, a class of new members was initiated. Those who are added to the rolls were: Donald R. Clark, John F. Morrison, Wayne C. Richey, Norman E. Sommers and David M. Tyee.
The membership strength of the post numbered 214 veterans prior to the recent opening of the annual convention, with the prospect of still further increases beyond the class of initiates of last evening.
A float will be present in the July 4th parade, and chairman of that committee, James F. Wendt assured the post that it would be attractively decorated. The third annual Salmon Derby will be given recognition on the Legion float.
A report on the Independence Day Queen Contest was presented by A. L. Zenger, Sr., and the post was urged to support actively and individually, the American Legion candidate, Miss Martha Newbould.
Ralph G. Wright and John Tanaka served refreshments at the conclusion of the meeting, and Legionnaire Eric Newbould, Major of the Salvation Army, and A. L. Zenger, Sr., were appointed as the refreshment committee for the next meeting of Monday evening, June 27.
