Attention at Meeting
of Post.

       For the purpose of raising funds by popular subscription for the Dan Edwards Memorial Portrait to be placed in Pershing Hall in Paris, France, a committee composed of R. R. Eddins, C. S. Cousins and J. A. Collins was appointed at the regular May meeting of Falls county post No. 31 American Legion in the assembly room on the second floor of the city hall Thursday night.
       Edwards, one of the outstanding heroes of the world war, lived in Marlin as child, enlisted in the United States army from the Mooreville
community and though he now lives in New York City, still claims Falls county as his home.

Memorial Day Plans Made

       A committee composed of B. C. Segrest, C. S. Cousins and V. R. Marek was named to arrange details and prepare a program for annual Memorial day services to be held in Marlin Sunday afternoon, May 31.
       Another committee was named, composed of V. R. Marek, Terry Dickens and Cecil Glass, to investigate advisability of holding a dance or other entertainment to provide funds for the post treasury on which there is a constant drain for relief and other work.
       The post commander, B. C. Segrest, was instructed to buy 10 guns for the post for use in ceremonies, the purchase to be made between now and July 1, at which time the government will withdraw its offer to sell them at attractive prices.
