WILMETTE LIFE November 16.; 1928 Legiol) . Auxiliary At the regular meeting of the Legion Auxiliary of Legion Post No. 46, held last Monday night, the slate of officers as presented by tJ'le nominating committee w~s adopted with no dissenting vote. The officers elected were a second vice-president, Mrs. A. Froehde: ways and means chairman, Mrs. Thomas Hall; '5ergeant-at-arms, Mrs. G. A. Stone; chairman of the social committee, Mrs. Von der Lippen; program chairman, Mrs. 0. G. Dailey; corresponding secretary and press chairman, Mrs. C. B. Cochran. To the retiring officers the . Auxiliary accords the hishe-3t praise for their faithful work during the past two years; and to · the new officers they pledge the same loyal support as was given their predecessors. An installation dinner, which is a new feature on the auxiliary calendar, will take the place of the regular December meeting. It will doubtless become an annual affair. The time and place for the dinner will be announced later. Arrangements for the dinner are being made by Mrs. Van Deursen, the retir._ inst social chairman. The largest expenditure voted at the meeting was $25 to be paid on the printing press to be installed at Great Lakes. Last year the society made a donation to the pres·.s at Speedway. Those working with hospitalized men, realize that a press, though costly in first expenditure, more than pays because of its pracjical value in employing so many men in the ho5pital and the enjoyment derived from its use. The president reported that, at the la·st Cook county council meeting, it was decided to send no individual Christmas boxes to the men this year; instead all the department units are to contribute to larger gifts, which wiU be uniform in each hospital. A dollar bill will be presented to each of the 2,500 patients at Speedway; the · Great Lakes inmates will receive slippers and automatic pencils; and sweaters will be 3ent to the men at North Chicago and the Dwight hospital. Mrs. Hopp reported that visits had been made to the ward at Great Lake!.' by Mrs. Jordan and herself. There were no r~_quests for supplies at Great Lakes, but at North Chicago there is still use for th~ discarded silk hose, which the men make into rugs. She will be glad to carry to the hospital, on her next visrit, all that can be collected.
