NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF
LEGION AUXILIARY MADE
PRINCIPAL ADDRESS TODAY
An address by Mrs. Boyce Kieklen,
Jr., of Athens, national president of
the American Legion Auxiliary, fea¬
tured the opening session of th<- Be
gion Auxiliary, department of Geor¬
gia, at the auditorium this n ruing.
Mrs. t icklen told her audience that
in the eight year; of it oxismnee the
auxiliary had grow n to he the large- t
due paying organization of women in
the world.
“It is easy enough to cheer when
men march away beneath waving
flags to the stirring roll of drums,
easy to cheer when the \ i -toriou:
troop; parade hack and then how
easy to forget,” said Mrs. Kirklen.
“But because those men were our own
flesh and blood, because of the hour;
of anguish we lived through while
they were facing death, busying our
bands and minds with work for their
support, the women of the American
Legion Auxiliary can never

the close ol the conflict, government

mini; ter to these men, to provide small
com fort s and luxuries for them, to
arrange amusements and entertain
tmuit; for their diversion and
brighten the droni ine of hospital
day; by our visits.
“Each Christmas every di aided
veteran in the hospital receives; a
(’hristmas package from tin Auxiliary
in his home state, given to him with
ft C.hri; turns greeting from the Auxil
iary. On other holidays they are re
inetnhered, too, and throughout the
year they receive attentions which re
ft;, in' tliem that there in their iso
luted hospitals, they ar not forgotten
by the Amerieari peoph .
“Many of the dcabled men in the
hospitals receive little or no govern
meat compensation and worry over
their inability to contribute to the
support, of their familie is one of the
worst enemies to their cure. Kaeh
year the Auxiliary gives them reman
< rativo work to do through the mak¬
ing* of memorial poppies. This year
the men on their sick bed:; and in eon

from the hospitals, but still in such

“This year we have added to our

school beyond the age of eighteen. As
the federal compensation is only ten

now oeking additional help for them

THE BRUNSWICK NEWS
ARE INVITED TO CITY
PARTY OF FOUR HUNDRED MAY
COME TO BRUNSWICK ON
TOUR OF STATE
Brunswick may be visited next
year by the National Editors’ Associ¬
ation, an organization composed of a
majority of the editors of the coun¬
try.
Georgia is being considered as the
meeting place for 10:50 and a number
of organizations in the state are now
cooperating in an effort to have this
state selected. If they are successful
tiie editors will not spend their time
in any one city, but will make a tour
of tiie state.
Invitations have been extended to
the association to include Brunswick
in their itinerary, in the event Geor¬
gia is selected. These invitations have
already been extehded by the Board
of Trade, the Hotary and Kiwanis
clubs, and later other organizations
will join.
Miss Emily Woodward, president of
the Georgia Press Association, is
chairman of the committee which has
tiie matter from in charge all and she is receiv¬
ing aid over the state in her
efforts to bring the national associa¬
tion to Georgia. Atlanta, Savannah,
Macon, Augusta and a number of
other cities have taken the matter up
and extended invitations, and if this
state is selected the editors will have
many invitations to visit various cit¬
ies.
It is estimated that at least 400 ed¬
itors, coming from every state and
every important city, will compose
the party; in fact the party next year
will he limited to that number. A def¬
inite decision as to the 1930 place of
meeting will be decided at the forth¬

An impressive memorial service was
an interesting feature of the morning
session of the American Legion con¬

After Commander Moore had called
the assembly to silence and reverence,
Basil Stockbridge, of Atlanta, a past

on the death of Major Asa Warren
Candler, a former outstanding mem¬
ber of the state legion. At the request
of Mr. Stockbridge the legionnaires
stood with bowed heads in thirty sec¬
onds silence in memory of Major
Candler.
Vice Commander Hobby, in a few
well chosen words, moved that the
convention pass appropriate resolu¬
tions on the death of General Free¬
man, who at the time of his death was
state commander of the United Con¬
federate Veterans, from whom many
of the legionnaires are descended.
Mr. Hobby and the state chaplain, \V.
tv Porter, were appointed by Com¬
mander Moore to draft suitable reso¬
lution on the death of this prominent
Confederate leader.
"There is Life Beyond the Shad¬

FINE PARADE STAGED
BY AMERICAN LEGION
HUNDREDS LINK STREETS TO
WITNESS ONE OF FEATURE
EVENTS OF CONVENTION
A real parade was staged here this
afternoon by the American Legion,
with the aid of the officers and crews
of the cutter Yamacraw and the seven
patrol boats which are in port for the j
convention.
Headed by the newly-organized
Glynn Concert Band, which made its
first public appearance, -and which
made a fine showing, the parade moved ,
from the Memorial Auditorium j
through the principal streets, which I
were lined with hundreds of speeta-;
tors, who cheered time and again as !
their favorites passed in review.
Besides the band, there were three ,
drum and bugle corps in the line of)
march, Atlanta, Savannah and Jack-!
sonville, the crews of the government
vessels, who made a fine appearance
in their snow-white uniforms, mem¬
bers of the Forty and Eight, legion¬
naires and many others who followed
in automobiles.
One of the decided features, how-'
ever, was the float, entered in the pa¬
rade by the Wayeross Legion and
applause Auxiliary, all and along which the received line. It liberal j
exem- ;
piiTied the spirit of Flanders Field and j
carried out in minor detail the horri- •
hie days of the war, the later activi 1
-
ties and the spirit of today. The large j
anchor, which is to be tossed over- lat-j !
board from the cutter Yamacraw
er in the afternoon, was on the front
of the float, where it attracted much
attention, a soldier stood by it “going
over the top," the spirit of today was i
exemplified by a number of Boy
Scouts, and occupying a conspicuous j
place was Miss Naomi Michael, of j
Athens, “the poppy lady,” whose idea
of the poppy is now universal. Sh" j
was surrounded by a number of pret
Miss ty little Michael girls, sat dressed in the center as poppies, of them j
with her arms full of poppies. It was i
indeed a beautiful float.
So thick were cars along Newcastle i
other streets through which the
parade iice moved that it tool: the full po-;
department to prevent a trafiic 1
jam.
