LEGION HEADS SAY
NO POST PLANNED
Committee Was Appointed to
Make Recommendations
to Post Officials

Considerable confusion has arisen
in the minds of many Legionnaires
as result of an announcement in
The Age Herald of Friday to the eff
feet that a new post was about to be
organized out of Birmingham Post
No /, of the American Legion.
At its regular meeting Friday noon
the executive committee of BirNing
ham Post No. disclaimed alf re-
sponsibility for, and branded as spu
rious, the rumor which had appeared
first outside of the daily press. The
legion wants the public to know
that no so-called veterans publica-
ton is authorized to speak for the
legion, 1t Is announced.
In discussing the matter in the
executive committee it was stated
that the Legion, of course. like every
other big organization must neces-
sarily have an element that cannot
always be counted on for conserva-
tism; that there are times when some
of this element become impatient and
want to try their hand, as it were.
In running a post of their own. Ex-
preston from the committee was
that taking the membership as a
whole, there is no discomfort nor i'm
patience other than that which should
organization.
AS an indication of the constructive
sentiment now at work In Birming-
ham Post No. /, the American Legion,
the appointment of a committee, of
which William G.. O'Bear is chair
man. with Matt Murphy, Sam Bow
man, Mervin Sterne and Walter E.
Bare. was made at the last monthly
meeting known as the ways and
means committee, which is charged
with the duty of making a survey of
the present status of the legion in
Birmingham and submitting to the
post such recommendations as it sees
fit for increasing the legions eff
effectiveness, not only among the le-
gionnaires themselves, but also in the
civic life of Birmingham at large.
The committee further pointed out
that the legion is naturally suffer-
ing through the lack of permanent
headquarters; that facilities by which
our members enjoy the social contact
are entirely too meager; that the ex-
tent to which we have been enabled
to cooperate with kindred organiza-
tions in civic work has been much
less than has been hoped for All of
this, 1t was emphasized, will be reme-
died, but will require time and money
The committee further resolved to
call upon the entire membership of
the post to pull together In a con-
certed effort to put over the program
being submitted and to be submitted
by the ways and means committee.
The above expression was Endorsed
by A. G.. Conoley, vice post COM
mander; Tom Graves, Headley Jor-
dan, II. p. Whitman, William G.
OBear. Morton Simpson and Sam
Bowman of the executive committee
and approved by George Lewis Bales,
post commander

Resolutions indorsing the PROPOSE
ton of the Exchange club to secure
better transportation facilities be-
tween Birmingham and Muscle Shoals
and pledging its support and Coop
Grafton to such an undertaking, were
unanimously passed by the Com
munity club at its meeting yesterday
afternoon.
This matter was called to the at
tention of the club members by Jack
Fraser. who stated that there was
such railroad connection between
Muscle Shoals and Memphis and Chat
tanooga that it was possible for resi-
dents of that section to go to either
city and spend the day. while it was
almost a days journey from this city
to Sheffield.
D. E. McLendon, chairman of the
city commission. made a brief talk
in which he spoke of the Importance
of this undertaking and what 1t
would mean to Birmingham If Henry
Ford succeeded in getting the nitrate
plant at Muscle Shoals. He declared
1t was up to everyone to get behind
the 25.000,000 road bond issue and
see that it was passed so that a per-
manent state highway to that section
from Birmingham could be obtained.
Favors Visit to Muscle shoals
The speaker stated it would be a
splendid idea for committee COM
posed of members of the various civic
organizations and luncheon clubs to
go to Sheffield on the day that Mr..
Ford visits the plant and escort him
to Birmingham II he accepts the In
vitation of the city. This will show
the people of that section that Bir-
mingham is interested in them and
the development of that part of the
state. he said. In concluding Mr.. Nc
Tendon appealed to members of the
| Community club in all matters for
the betterment of the city and stated
II they would give 1t he was sure II
| would be possible to make Birming-
ham the greatest city In the south.

Pro and. con go the opinions of
Birmingham citizens as toy the audi
forum site.
All agree that the city auditorium
is vital need, but the ideas as to
its location and size vary.
Will a sound proof, windowless au-
ditorium on the present site be suit
able in summer? is the question
raised by one person interviewed.
1t would shut out the noise in win
ter and aid in the heating problem,
but would it allow forssufficient VEN
tilation in the hot days of midsum-
mer? is another query.
Make it big-look to the future
for Birmingham is growing, says an
ardent auditorium fan.
TT suits me If 1T suits the archi-
tects," is the voice of another.
Let the new city commission make
this one of their first duties, one
man says.
Favors Idea and Site.
Yes, I am in favor of an audi
torium and a big one" says d. Rich.
whats the use of spending whole
lot of money for getting conventions

the biggest Birmingham can land7
This is a city of around 100000 peo-
pie at present and in 10 years 1t
will be much bigger. How much, no
one can foretell, but the sensible
thing will be to anticipate 1t.
TT appears to me that the bonds
will realize enough to do this. The
site so far as am concerned is suit
able If the statements of the archi-
tects about being able to overcome
the noise is true"
How About Summers
II oppose the present site and can
not see why it was ever selected
says H. K Miner.
There are other more suitable
places for an auditorium in Birming-
ham. The location is too noisy. 1t
is too close to the Frisco yards.
