Citizen Photo American Legion Plans Membership Drive Smithfield Post 58 of the American Legion is planning its advance membership drive lor the centennial of 1976. New commander Reed Toalson, first vice Dan and second via John Rich, along with hold over adjutant Quinn Plowman hope to reach an all time high for 76. surpassing the previous 114 members high of several years ago. There is quite a story behind Post 58 and its old landmark building used for its Post Home. In 1958. with membership in the 50's, three members visited the old vacated Rock Store on First South and Main to investigate possible use of the building. The treasury showed around 50 to 35 dollars ad meetings were held in various places such as the library, cafe, armory or others. Uxin contacting the owners in Portland. Oregon. a deal was made wherewould get the by the use of the building for five years for the upkeep and certain specified improvements which were to lx. made. Work started almost immediately with all donated labor and materials and the building was soon ready for limited use while remodeling and improvements were going on. After alxiut three years, with a new roof and a new hardwood flixir and new walls and ceilings, fire brake out and caused a serious set buck. and With ixTserverance determination and some help from insurance, the long dirty job began over. It was cleaned up and repaired and the old apartment in (he south side was also put into use. Continued improvements were made but the Ixisic programs of the legion were never neglected. Boys Slate, baseball, hospital programs and service work continued, along with new flags lor all local scout troops. Sky View High School and others. The group was outstanding at military and Memorial services. Kids' Christmas par-lieHalloween parlies and ping xmg Iniiriinmculs were held in the old home Alter alxiut six years a mm ra I was signed to buy the property The Post was iucorxiraled and legal documents were drawn up Since lun-era- late 1964 monthly payments have been made, always on time and finally the downhill part has been reached. In a few short years there will be a mortgage hurtling party which should be quite an occasion. Tht American legion is unique in several ways. Its members range from 20 years of age to UN) years of age and cover four periods of war time service to our country from World War I to the Vietnam conflict. They are very patriotic and dedicated to helping their disabled comrades and widows and orphans. Their youth programs are the greatest in the world and their auxiliaries' programs coincide. Smithfield Post has one member, as of 1976 who has p 57 years continuous and two with 55 mem-Ix-rshi- years. WWII mcmlxrs are now reaching and passing the mark. The membership for 1975 was 103 with alxiut 3(i xr cent Vietnam veterans. Four "Lire have been awarded over the years; two WWI. one WWII. and one Vietnam Mem-Ix-rship- s" veteran. Members come from about 18 different towns or cities and several slates. At the present lime the Distriet No. I commander and one District vice commander are from Post 58. Also a mernlxT of the State membership commission is from Post 58. Smithfield Post 58 is mined after Earl S. Harper of Smithfield who was killed in France during WWI. Although organized later than many surrounding Posts in the area, it still should be considered one of the more successful. The officers and members invite all veterans to participate with them in their many activities, and their continuing service to the community, stale and nation.
