RY J. I.UCAS, JR.
What was voted unanimuosly as
one of the most siicccessful meet
ings of members of the Joe Brown
Connally Chapter of the Disabled

War, was held last night at the
city Y. M. C. A., m the form of a
social smoker.
Off and on during the course of
the evening, more than one hun
dred members of the organization
attended. Short talks were made
by some on tho principal topics
j concerning the disabled men of
{the late war, while others dis-
! cussed methods of procedure for
the betterment of the order in so
far as it would more fully carry
jout the purposes for which it tens
formed—as stated by Mr. Joe P.
Ellis, commander of the local post
|—“a fraternity formed by the dis
abled men for the betterment and
helpful adjustment of the needs
of those who were incapacitated
I in the recent world conflict.”
i Mr. Ellis emphasized the fact
'that co-operation wait necessary
among the members, in order for
the organization to become a
benefit to those allied with it. Mr.
F. E. Mitchell cited various in
stances wherein the local chapter
had accomplished much for men
in training at the University of
Georgia, as well as those who
have completed their training and
gone out as rehabilitated.
Arguments against the bill
pending in the Georgia legislature,
for the creation of a State Veter
ans’ Bureau* were presented in
length by Mr. Walter Emery and
Mr. James H. Chaffin, both de
clared that the bill, if made a
law, would only serve the purpose
of establishing other political of
fices at the expense of the al
ready burdened state treasury.
Business talks of various im
port to the local post were made
uy Mr. W. L. Austin, V. O., and
Mr. J. A. Stintson, treasurer.
Cooling drinks, sandwiches and
cigars were served during the
meeting, and an earnest plea was
