To Organize Post of
American Legion
Thirty former soldiers or service men met at the Chamber of
Commerce last night and decided to organize a local post of the American Legion.
Maj. Geo. L. Lyerly was elected temporary chairman and Lieut. Aldis C.
Henderson was chosen temporary secretary and instructed to apply for a charter
at once.
There were 2,800 men in the service from Catawba count and
it was felt that two posts, one being at Newton and the other to be formed
here, would be more likely to enlist the support of these former service men
than would be the case with one organization. It is hoped to have several
hundred members of the Hickory post.
All former soldiers, sailors or marines and all persons who
have been in the service are invited to join.
