vention Of the American Legion, De-
partment Of Utah, which will be held
in Logan, September 21st, 22nd and
23rd, as the biggest convention Of the
state this year is a task which has
been assigned by tho department Of
ficers to Logan Post No. z and this
post has organized very thoroughly to
do it. There is no detail incident to
conventions that has not or will not
have received the greatest attention.
One hundred and fifty legionaires of
Logan are going to show the Utah
Legion members and their Auxiliary
that Logan knows how and every
member of the Legion and his family
and friends are invited to see how it
is done.
To put over the convention requires
committees properly guided and for
this duty William Wesley Anderson
has been selected by Department
Commander B. w. Black. ewes" is
general chairman--the man who does
MT work himself but sees that his
committees work. Entertainment
is the biggest item in connection with
the convention outside the business
Of the convention itself and to super
wise entertainment Harold Happy"
Brangham has been chosen. "Hap-
py" is past commander Of the Lo-
gan post and knows how. He doesn't
dance or frolic himself so that means
that others will get chance to do it.
In order to put on entertainments and
properly put over the entire conven-
ton, money, and lots of it. is neces-
sary so l.. Boyd Hatch, who inherit
ed an appreciation for mercenary
things being the son of banker, has
been selected to head the finance COM
mittee and raise more than a few
hundred dollars. Adequate housing
of the delegates and Legion visitors
during the convention and providing
a real LOGAN reception" for them is
by no means the smallest job so
Judge l.. z. Nelson was picked for
chairman of the Reception and Hous-
ing committee. "Lou' has all his
legal powers already mustered in
thinking out his problems which
means they will be solved. Getting
railroad rates for delegates who are
not going to drive in automobiles and
providing automobile transportation
in Logan and into Logan Canyon is
job that Henry B. Johnson has to put
over and "Hen" has proven himself
capable long since. To "tell the
whole world" about the Legion con-
vention is work assigned to r. l..
Olsen, Logan newspaperman, and
rays" typewriter is now busy turn
ing out "copy" for the press. Kirke
M. Decker, the wide-awake adjutant
Of the state, checks up on each COM
mittee and on each subcommittee,
and records their every act in his big
book being secretary of the general
committee and every subcommittee.
So that's the lineup that is charg-
ed with the duty Of making the
Fourth Annual Convention Of the
American Legion. Department of
Utah, great success and each knows
1t so he is already working.
The three days Of the convention
in Logan are going to be crowded full
of activities. When stern business
does not occupy the minds of the Lee
gionaires tickle fun will. That's al
ready been decided upon by the COM
mittee. The biggest fun producing
event will be the grand outing into
Logan Canyon, twelve miles up,
where a big feed, games, and stunts
of n unique nature in the vigorous,
cool mountain air will take years off
the age of each one who takes part.
All Legionaires who have performed
distinguished service" for the Legion
will get a chance to be initiated into
the mysteries of the Legion's great
inner circle, La Societe des 40 HON.
mes ct s Cheveaux, during one of the
nights of the convention. The degree
team of Voiture Locale No. 2S6 of
Cache County will put on the initia-
ton. Both those who like to dance
and those who do not will have TO trip
to some real peppery and jazzy music
at least one night of the three in one
of Utah's best dance halls. Strict
censorship and immature plans pre-
vents mention of other little things
that are going to add zest 70 the con-
vention.
Hanford MacNider, national COM
mander of the American Legion, has
given his promise that he will make
every effort to attend the Utah De-
partment convention in Logan. If
he is not here, but likely he will be
here, some other of the national of
ficers and prominent Legion figures,
are going TO attend.
There will be approximately 800
delegates from Utah posts at the con-
