Under the guidance of Colonel Raymond Hardenburgh as Commander, and Frederick O. Mason, as Adjutant, the post grew from a group of fifty men to one hundred with- in a year's time. After two years of campaigning for members the post opened its third season with J. M. Dickinson, Jr., as jCommander and Stanley Clague, Jr., as the Post Ad- jutant. It was during Commander Dickinson's time that the first Cabaret Ball was given and proved to be an unusual success. Memorial trees to the men who lost their lives in the service were planted on the Winnetka Common and dedicated on July 4th of that year. The post at the present time has two hundred members in the village. | Men from all walks of life make up the list of the post and among the more aclive members are some of the ieading business men of Chicago. Women who acted as nurses, telephone operators and in the many other branches of the service are members of the local post and have within the | past year been regular atendants at | Legion meetings. Women Provide Quarters One of the fortunate things for the | Winnetka men in forming and keeping intact a group of ex-service men has | been the generosity, of the Winnetka | Woman's club which, since the very | first, has donated the entire ground | aires.
