LEGION PLANTS TREES ON MEMORIAL DRIVE

Meet to Make Plans for Armistice Celebration. (The local post 223 of the American Legion gathered together last Sunday with shovels on their shoulders and set to work at planting trees along Memorial Drive, formerly known as Pickwick road, south of Syracuse. Nearly all of the membership participated in setting out over 240 trees which were of five foot height. One hundred of the trees were donated by Ralph Oyler, local nurseryman, which was sincerely appreciated by the Legion. One hundred more trees arc expected to arrive sometime this week and they will be planted in the very near future. Dedication of the Legion Memorial drive will be held sometime in the spring at which time all of the planting is expected to be finished, including both trees and shrubbery. The regular meeting of the local post was held Thursday evening at which time plans were completed for the Armistice celebration which will take place on November 11th. The plans and the program will be published in next week’s issue of the Journal, since they were not completed at this writing. ''' MILLARD HIRE HOST TO LEGION POST 223 Wawasee Post 223, the local order of the American Legion, was entertained at a party given by Millard Hire, director of the drum corps, last Friday evening.
