This Day in History: 1932-07-30
One hundred percent of the membership of the local American Legion Post attended the 6th annual County Convention in Bergenfield. One reason for so large an attendance was to give the support to Charles V. Bacon of Mahwah, the former Post Commander. Major Bacon was a candidate for Vice-Commander of the county organization. He was one of four successful candidates. Charles Mastenbrook of Wyckoff was unanimously chosen as County Commander. The new officers were installed immediately in a ceremony presided over by the New Jersey Region Commander, W. Rex McMcrosson in the presence of several hundred Legionnaires. One of the resolutions passed at the business session was a call for an investigation to charges that aliens were being given state and county jobs in preference to veterans and citizens. (Bristow)
