War Veteran
Serves Twice
3lU This One
Presently, a veteran of World
War n who became a member
of the American Legion on the
strength of that record, is also
going to be serving Uncle Sam
in World War IL There wont be
many, if any, others with Just
such an experience. '
This unusal legionnaire is Tho
mas J. Riches, who was admitted
into membership Monday nieht
in Capital Post No. 9 of Salem.
It happened this way: i
Riches enlisted in the navy and
was in training for the naval air
corps. He was "washed ' out for
physical reasons and discharged.
So he became eligible as a "vet
eran" to join the American Le
gion. Soon however after minor
physical defects are remedied, he
intends to enter the army air
corps, going in as a volunteer
inductee.? ."I
Capital post voted Monday night
to hold a "stag" meetina June 28
at the Eagles hall to which all
ex-servicemen of both wars, re
gardless of membership, are " to
be invited. There also was pre
liminary discussion of the Fourth
of July program and a decision to
hold it, not at fairgrounds which
are not available but at Georee
E. Waters park. Sports events and
a carnival in addition to the pa
triotic exercises, are planned.
