AMERICAN LEGION
ELECTS OFFICERS
Officers for the ensuing year have
been elected in the Bainbridge Post
American Legion, with Dr. VV. L. Wil
kinson, Commander; E. F. Vickers, as
vice commander; Glenn Tonge, Ad
jutant; Nelson Bruton, Finance offi
cer; W. B. Surle, historian; J. R.
Haire, chaplain; and Dr. M. E. Shr-
lich, service officer.
The Post centered most of its ac
tivities of the past year on helping
ex-service men, ai.d in getting funds
towards a permanent club rooms.
With a membership of seventy-five
the first step to be taken in 1023 will
be a campaign for members. It is
believed that the membership can be
easily carried to 100 or more. There
is no Post in Mitchell county and
the Decatur boys are going to ask
their comrades of the sister coui.ty
to join with them in enlarging the
membership of the local post, and if
the invitation is accepted, as is ex
pected, the Bainbridge Post will be
an unusually strong one.
The boys are going after a home
and furnishings for it, and is is also
their hope that an auxiliary may be
formed. He]p from the ladies wijl be
of great help to them in many ways.

PLAY GROUND FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN
The beautiful lot on Potter street,
just off the public school grounds,
has been bought by the city council
for play grounds for the school chil
dren of an age that would not be
jual to the athletic grounds further
jt on Potter street.
The idea of having those grounds
beautified and expertly equipped for
the pleasure and development of the
small children is being carefully con
nived by those in charge. As the
hi|d plays uiAl grows in a healthier
glow and stronger body on these new
grounds, it will also, be reaching that
physical condition necessary for tho
training of field day sports, foot ball,
basket halj and everything thnt they
wijl enjoy when they go into the ath
letic* grounds.
This lot is splendidly shaded by
magnificent oaks anil is situated at
a place where children will always be
observed.
Ninety per cent of the children In
hool today are from the homes of
it* laboring men. Those men who
go to make up the substantial and un
selfish part of every community, will
no doubt feel an especial interest in
these play grounds, and will likely
want to be indentified with the de
velopment of them. The plan, whi^e
young, is meeting with favorable at
tention as details are being formu
lated.
