Three Phases of Americanism
Stressed At Legion Auxiliary
Meeting On Friday Afternoon
.'t b: o 0 i; A - *S
The Auxiliary of the Allen R.
Fleming, jr. Post of the American
Legion held its February meeting
in the Log Cabin, Friday after
noon, February 7th at 4 o'clock,
with the president, Mrs, Jacob B.
Joel, presiding.
The program was in charge of
Mrs. Harold Hodgson, program
chairman, and Miss Annie Mae
Holliday, Americanism chairman
and the hostesses of the afternoon
were Mrs, Weaver Bridges and
Mrs., Arthur Gann.
The program was most interest
ing, stresting Americanism in
three different phrases. First part
of the program was given over to
a pageant “The Youth of Today,
the Citizens of Tomorrow”, which
stressed the need of leadership,
and the importance of knowing
how to use leisure hours more ad
vantageously and how to make
our boys and girls better citizens
physieally, mentally, morally as
well as socially ang spiritually.
The second phase of American
ism was illusirated in music by
Miss Dunaway and other artist
listed below. In tuning the radio
to foreign countries one can al
most instantly know the country
by the type of music that is heard.
Miss Dunaway well illustrated
that if one should tune in on Am
erica quite a varied program could
be heard, Jewish Chorus, as sung
in the local church; American vo
cal numbers; appealing indial vio
lin music; strgnge, but musical
mountain songs; and the lovely
Negro spirituals.
The latter part of the program
wasg In charge of Miss Annie Mae
Holliday, who gave a most inter
esting lecture on architecture in
America, Misg Holliday stated
that we use no particular style
of our ‘own, but have copied Eng
lish cottages, French chateaux and
[Spanish’ courts, sometimes com
bining all three.
However, in late years, more in
terest has been shown in better
and more suitable architecture for
Americans, instead of planning
the exterior of the house first and
then fitting the interior as best
we can to the outside plan, we
are beginning to plan the inter
ior for our needs and desires .and
then fit the exterior to it, mak
ing the home much more livable.
Miss Holliday also stressed that
a study of furniture be made be
fore furnishing a home, to make
it more comfortable as well as
more beautiful. But the furniture
in groups, instead of individual
pieces that sit out stiffly in the
room.
Program of the meeting follows:
