MEMBERSHIP DRIVE or
PALO DURO POST ENDS
WITH BIG BANQUET
Special t. The News.
CANTON, April 16—As a fitting close
of an extensive membership drive the
Palo Duro post of the American Legion
of Canyon held an enjoyable "feed" at
the Legion’s club house. Indications
that tihs body of young men will have
their hands full of constructive work
for the rest of the year are shown by
the program outlined at the meeting fol-
lowing the banquet, which was given by
The losing side of the membership driv-
ers.
May 7 was set as the annual clean-
up day. The legionnaires will clean up
the town thoroughly and the grave
yards. A vote to back the city of Ama-
rillo during the West Texas Chamber of
Commerce convention was made. The
Legion also promised to help Canyon
with its various conventions, and went
on record as backing the Boy Scout
movement in Canyon.
The unanimous vote to sponsor Ethan
Allen Simpson of Clarendon for state
commander of the American Legion and
the plan to nominate him at the state
convention in Amarillo was the out-
standing achievement of the night's en-
thusiastic gathering.
Ethan Allen Simpson, lawyer and ex-
service man, is one of the “big" men of
West Texas, not only in physique
but also in citizenship. As a soldier he
won fame fighting in France and bears
seventeen wound marks received from a
German machine gun, which failed to
stop him or dampen his spirits.
Canyon’s Legion also voted to spon-
sor a movement to charter a strictly
“stag’' boat to take ex-service men from
this section to the national convention to
