Ventura County Post 48 faced tumultuous times in the fall of 1933. New District lines had been drawn and the Ventura County Post 48 would no longer be the single post to represent all of Ventura County. Effective October 21, 1933 Fillmore, Santa Paula, Simi, and Ojai would become operational individual posts.
On Thursday, October 31st 1933 during the General Meeting of Ventura County Post 48; a motion was made to fundamentally dissolve Post 48 in an effort to force Post 48 to reform itself to strictly a city post that would serve only Oxnard and Camarillo. So controversial and historically significant the attempt to dissolve Post; it made front page headlines in the September 1, 1933 edition of the Oxnard Daily Courier. http://www.post48.org/motion.html The motion was tabled by John Bamesberger the Post Commander. This was the last meeting of County wide representation by Post 48. The Post survived, and it would become in 1934 Oxnard Post 48 still retaining its original 1919 Charter. At the same meeting, Irwin Lowe was elected Post 48 Commander for 1933 – 1934.
