Since the base purpose of the

—Joint Committee Meeting* were
held, and president of the Unit to
plan for celebration of Armistice
Day.
The Celebrations of the day began
with a big parade in which all the
Civic and patriotic organirations of
the city were represented by floats
or flag decorated cars. Each stand
ing committee of the Auxiliary rode
in a car bearing the name of the
committee on the front of the car.
This at least brought the commit
tees to some prominence and made
each member feel they had a defi
nite place in the parade.
The parade was led by G. Si. C.
band ar.d Batallion followed by
Legionairs, Auxiliary and other civic
and patriotic organisations.
An impressive program was held
in the Auditorium of the Georgia

The President recommends that
the President’s Book and files for
Committee reports, which were so
beautifully prepared by Mrs. Stew
art Wootten, Past President, be kept
from year to year. The accessible
way in which these records are kept
has proven to be a wonderful guide
in the work of the Unit this year.

iog*.
The President would further
recommend that all the special ac
tivities of the Unit be carried on to
