Byrle Hines was elected Commander, Solon Gibson was elected Adjutant, Edwin Boyle was again elected Finance Officer. Membership total 21.

The financial collapse of 1929 and the resulting depression had a very bad effect on membership and other activities, a large number of the members were out of employment and business in general was at a very low level. The Post had a loss of 13 members during the year.

During this year the Post Colors, which were in storage, were destroyed in a fire at a local cleaners establishment, this constituted a total loss as they were not insured.

It became increasingly difficult to raise funds; however, with the help of the Thanksgiving Feather Party, it was possible to meet the necessary payments.

Comrade Hollis Coe this year took over the Scoutmastership of the Troop and proceeded with some reorganization which benefited the Troop greatly.

The Memorial Day Program of decoration of all Veterans' graves at the Milford, New Hudson, and Wixom cemeteries was carried out together with the usual services and exercises.
