An election for permanent officers of the commission, working under provisions of the State Postwar Planning commission, will be held in the Legion home, Tyrone, Tuesday evening, August 15. The current official heads will not stand for re-election on that date, rather expressing the wish to become soldiers in the ranks. The final report of the joint general heads, as set forth, calls for "every fair and adequate consideration for returned veterans so the injustices following World war I shall not be repeated." It holds forth the prospects of a progressive community life and provided the natural resources of limestone are developed, recommends the continuance of the federal employment service, approves of a youth recreational center, advocates closer cooperation with the rural districts, reviews the purposes of its character building foundation which was instituted seven weeks ago, speaks of the work of its committees, outlines a system of graphs and charts showing what is proposed for Tyrone and vicinity, commends the generous offer of a home for veterans in Sinking Valley and takes a positive stand favorable to schooling for veterans returning from the armed forces. Justifying the need for action now in planning the post-war period, the report says, "Obviously, no responsible segment of the effort contemplated the- solution of so complex a problem between sunrise and sunset but no prudent group is content to delay the planning; rather, the work prudently should begin long before sunrise so a full day's work is possible. There is no need to repeat the error of a prior period." Dinner Party Narks Coroners Birthday Coroner Daniel M.
