The Breeze – September 26, 1935

DR. E. L. HUGGINS NOW HEADS THE AM. LEGION


At an unusually well-attended meeting of DeFuniak Post No. 61, of the American Legion, held on Friday night at the E. L. Beatty garage, Dr. E. L. Huggins was chosen commander for the coming year. J. H. Francis was named as adjutant; P. M. Work, service officer; C. E. Swank, first vice-commander; J. C. Yaun, second vice-commander; P. J. Woodall, chaplain; S. M. Preacher, historian; T. D. Bailey, Americanism officer; J. W. Wadsworth, athletic officer, and Oscar Beardsley, sergeant-at-arms.

Plans were discussed, and will soon be put in motion for the regular Armistice Day celebration, held, as usual, this year, as one of the big features of the Walton county fair.

Post 61 was the first West Florida unit of the Legion to hold an Armistice Day celebration, and the affair goes over in a big way every year.
