ELECT OFFICERS OF VETS' GROUP FRIDAY, JAN. 16 The next meeting of World War I veterans of McHenry will be held at the American Legion home on Friday, Jan. 16. Election of officers is planned for this meeting, so all mem* hers are urged to attend. Vice - Commander Fordyce Ilanford would like each member to bring at least one prospective member. The business meetings are short and are always followed by a social hour of visiting and lunching. In the short period of time since the McHenry barracks of World War I veterans was organized there have been several ladies' nights where everyone had fun. There are usually guest speakers, often our McHenry mayor or other city officials. The American Legion usually has a good representation at these social events and sometimes the women of the Legion auxiliary are present and serve the refreshments. No matter how serious the motive of an organization,these social gatherings help to cement friendships among the members.
