This Day in History: 1929-01-21

Reports from the National Headquarters of the American Legion confirm that the Mahwah post has the largest membership of its history.  It was explained that following the experience of the GAR further membership growth can be expected for another ten years at which time every honorably discharged veteran should be a member.  Local officials believe that the lack of a movie theater in Mahwah has hampered their growth, somewhat since there are many fine films they could have shown which would have enhanced the attractiveness of their program.
