Thrill of Shipboard Voyage, Arrival in Japan Told by Mrs. Kenneth Blood:
A story book account of her exciting boat trip to Japan was related to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Almeter and family by Mrs. Kenneth Blood in her first letter home since reaching the land of the cherry blossoms.

Hoffman To Head New Legion Post:

Twenty-two local service men, including one WAC, Miss Mary Majerus, met at the school assembly Friday evening to make out their application for an American Legion charter and elect officers.
George Carroll, adjutant of the Zumbrota post, opened the meeting, speaking briefly on the organizational set-up of the Legion.
At this phase of the meeting J.S. Wild was appointed temporary chairman, and following officers were elected: A.A. Hoffman, commander; George Hartman, vice commander; Reider Tommeraas, adjutant; Larry Colling, sergeant at arms; Norbert Sand, financé officer; Leonhardt Gahler, chaplain and C.W. Robinson, historian. As yet, no service officer has been elected.
Mazeppa American Legion post was decided upon as the name and as soon as the charter has been approved, will be given a number.
Meetings will be held the first Thursday of each month, with the meeting place to be decided upon.
