day, and prospects that others win be |
IN the city Saturday for the final big /
day OF the convention. the Veterans |
Of Foreign Wars were trying to exc
cute their business Friday in order to
prepare for the big parade and fes-
tivities which will be held Saturday |
Extensive plans have been made for
the last day of the first annual en-
campment.
Three boxing bouts will be staged IN
the Coliseum by the vets Friday night, |
the first one scheduled to be real
starter.
State Commander Frank q. iven-
good issued his report before the vet
Grams assembled in the Coliseum Fri
day morning. He said that the pur-
pose of the encampment was to de-
velop a system of securing an income
to carry on the work of organization
during the next year. Especially for
the welfare of the various posts
throughout the state, great care and
consideration should be taken in elect
ing officers to carry on the important
work which is involved. An incomp-
etent man at the head Of the posts
will tend to sidetrack the entire or
ganiZation, therefore, this is the rea-
son why great care should be taken
to insure the god Of the posts.
