SPANISH TRAIL TO
HAVE CONVENTION
Members Of Association VIII Meet a:
Gulfport Late This Month.

The Old Spanish Trail convention this
year will be at Gulfport, Miss, Friday
and Saturday, January 2S-29 IIeadquar-
ters at San Antonio urges specially
strong representation from eastern COM
munities This Trail movement was
born at Mobile, and Florida ami the
eastern end did the pioneering work for
several years, then the west was linked
into the movement and a historical way
across Texas through San Antonio vas
worked out.
Texas and the past year San Antonio
and Texans have spent over $4,000
building a national organization and
pushing the work along the thousand
miles of primitive roads through Texas.
Now both Texas and Louisiana are
ready to report remarkable progress and
the convention is back again in the east,
and the east should give it a big atten-
dance.
Two big questions will arise of init
mate concern to the east. One, 1t is the
plan of headquarters to keep field sec
rotary in the Louisiana-Florlda section
to help build up work in the east, as
these field secretaries have built up work
in the west. The second question is the
proposed re-division of the highway in
to q series of divisions with the great
cities as centers. The highway project
now covers such an extensive mileage
it is difficult to get a representative
gathering together. The cost in time and
in money for railroad travel is too great
consequently the conventions become
sectional. Plans to meet this problem
and permit of a closer administration of
the big undertaking will be submitted to
the convention for action,
