There is possible basis for confusion IN
that the legion convention is caAed for
July 4 and the auxiliary convention is
called for July 8. 1t is desired that al
women be present the morning of July 4
to hear the address of the national com
mander and to participate in the patriotic
exercises. In addition to the address OF
the Fourth to the whole convention. 1t IS
expected that an additional address Will ne
made by the national commander to the
auxiliary with particular reference to its
peculiar function. Unit officers are ie-
quested to forward names of delegates to
this office as soon as possible on FORMS FUR
nished.
Posts not yet having the benefit Of aux
iliary units are urged to send to the con-
vention women representatives whose name :
should be sent and otherwise handled as IL
they were delegates from units.
Fourth of July Parade
The Charles S. Harrison post requests that
as many as possible of the delegates ana
visitors bring their uniforms. There IS 10
be a monster parade July in which many
organizat lions appear in uniform. including
the troops from Camp Benning, and 1t Is
especially desired that as many eX-sefv1ce
men as possible appear in uniform. lie
wearing of the uniform is, OF course, optlcn-
al with each man. Whether or not he has
his uniform will have no effect whatever
on his participation in the parade ana other
events.
Several inquiries have been received ask
ing to what number of delegates certain
the following is published: It is clear that
a post is entitled to one delegate and one
alternate if it had fifteen or more paid
members June a 1t is also clear that for
every fifty paidA memberships or majority
fraction thereof paid on June the post
is entitled to an additional delegate ana an
additional alternate. Thus a post having
paid for fifteen members only is entitled to
only one delegate and one alternate, If for
between twenty-six to seventy-five to two
delegates and two alternates. In no case
would post be entitled to more than one
delegate and one alternate if dues were
paid after June +. Although the credentials
committee or the convention itself is the
final authority it would seem that post
is entitled to one delegate and one alternate
provided fifteen or more memberships are
paid on or before the convention date.
