On this date in 1927, members of the Clyde Bolling Post of the American Legion, in regular monthly session at the Zinzendorf Hotel, created a fund of $100, to be used for the relief of distressed ex-service men and the families of ex-service men residing in Winston-Salem.
Also, Commander William Graves announced that the post will present a silk North Carolina flag to the county, which will be placed directly behind the Superior Court judge’s chair when Superior Court opens in the new Forsyth County Courthouse.
