AMERICAN LEG|ON'S
 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Going After Every Ex-sery- ice Man In Greater Bir-
 mingham-Want 4,000

Plans for the membership drive of the local post of the American Legion dur- ing the week of June 2S-July are rapidly nearing completion under the direction of Judge Horace Wilkinson, field mar shall for the drive.
 Judge Wilkinson plans to divide the entire membership into four armies, each under the leadership of a general. These armies will be further divided into ten teams, each under the command or captain. S
 With Twentieth street as the main line. the city will be divided into four sec tors, and one will be given to each army. The legion plans to ft the name of every eX-service man in the city, if he joins or not. Those former soldiers, sailors or marines who do not join will be kept after by members of the legion until they do become members.
 It is hoped to increase the membership to 5000 during the drive.
 Judge Wilkinson is getting out a cir cular letter to every member of the le- zion, telling them of the proposed drive In the letter will be a post card. If the member will participate in the drive ac- lively, he is asked to mail the post card by return mail after signing his name and address. Each letter will also con- tain two applications for membership in the legion, so that every member will | be equipped to take the application of
 any ex-service man he may encounter.
 At the close of the drive the legion

 TWICE HONORED Following Mercer Barnetts Election, A. J. Arrant Is Elected Trustee

Birminsha has been Signally hon. ored in having two of her Kiwanlans honored by election to international ol- fices at the Portland convention, which came to a close Friday afternoon. J. Mercer Barnett, elected international president without opposition, as stated in The Age-Herald yesterday morning, and Andrew J. Arrant, now district gov- ernor of Kiwanis clubs in Alabama and Florida, who was placed on the interna- tional board of trustees by election from the floor
 "Of course we all expected Mercer Barnett to come home with the interna- tional presidency tucked away in his vest pocket, for from coast to coast there never has been a more popular or enthusiastic Kiwanian, but no one even thought of Birmingham getting another international office.' said Jeff Bailey former secretary of the local club and international field representative of Ki- wanis in Alabama and Florida.
 'Bhey could not have picked a more conscientious Kiwanian than A. J. Ar rant. He is one of the most unselfish workers Kiwanis has, and he has never failed to devote as much time and money to the local club, district or international organizations as any man, regardless of his location or means. He is univer- sally loved by Kiwanis everywhere, and I am certainly pleased over "A. Us recognition by the international organi- zation. He is deserving, capable, and vii l be the sponsor of many moves in inter national that will shove Kiwanis ahead The Birmingham party left Portland yesterday afternoon, en route to Yel | lowstone park. where they will spend several days, thence home.
