t;on committee Is face 70 face with
stf.s problem OF creating Gretna
Green for number Of Legion men

in New Orleans October TO 70 20.
COMMITTEES members Thought they
lad worries enough in arranging for
the entertainment Of the 10000 visi-
tors expected, when In comes a letter
from Comrade Oscar Nicholson, Of
Broekett, N. D., asking for information
in regard to provisions being made for
the performance of marriage cere-
Zgonies during the convention.

Everything like dress TO be worn, where
to get license, ETC., and also what time

Nicholson hopes for d favorable
reply.
Twenty Marry in Kansas City
During the Legion convention in
Kansas City last year twenty couples
were married in convention hall by the
Rev. John w. Inzer, national chaplain.
The Kansas City committee paid for
the marriage licenses and local mer-
chants provided wedding rings and
numerous presents.
a'We have not considered duplicating
the Kansas City free marriage offer
this year" the convention chairman
declared when Legionnaire Mickelsons S
request was presented to him. How
ever, the Legion is rather partial to
the institution of nlatrinaony and our
committee will assist those comrades
aspiring to that estate with all the
facilities ut our disposal"
It is probable that committee ON
marriages will be added to the con-
yention list,
