March 31, 1922 – PARTY AT LEGION H.Q.
The Ladies of the Women’s auxiliary and the vets of the local legion post united in a “penny” social at legion headquarters Monday, the second event of its nature this winter. It was most successful, the penny sales and dances netting $30 above expenses. There was a postoffice, express office, fishpond, lottery, auction and dancing pavilion, with a cafeteria selling sandwiches, doughnuts and coffee. The event was well attended and the legion hall comfortably crowded.
