VFW Post Wins
National Award
Susitna Post 9365, Veterans
of Foreign Wars, and their
Ladies’ Auxiliary received a
letter of congratulations last
week from the VFW national
headquarters in Kansas City,
Mo., praising the two organiza
tions for developing a truly
outstanding community better
ment work.
The two accompanying cita
tions were awarded to the post
and the auxiliary as national
winners in the 1962-63 Com
munity Service contest.
Over 1,000 scrapbooks were
entered in the contest, with
the Susitna post and the aux
iliary placing 141st in the na
tional lineup of winners. There
were 178 other finalists, with
232 scrapbooks.
Henry Katkus, Susitna Post
commander, pointed out that
there are about eight categor
ies of winners, on a population
basis, and that the citations
show that the local award re
presents first place in cities,
having a population of less
than 300.
The community scrapbooks
will be displayed at the VFW
64th national convention, Oly
mpia Hotel, Seattle, Washing
ton, Aug. 23-30.
The local organization is al
ready planning for even higher
recognition in the 1963-64 con
test, Katkus said.
Friends and admirers of the
late Henry Ford urged him to
run for President, but the auto
motive pioneer was not inter
ested and closed the matter by
sending President Calvin Cool
idge a telegram, praising him
for his work and expressing no
desire to oppose him.
