Program Outlined at
Convention.

Five major activities are being
planned for 1929 by the national
Americanization commission of the

They are:
1. Junior baseball.

Legion by Dan Sewers, national di-
rector of the Americanism commits
sion.
This program will be discussed at
the conference of department COM
rpanders and adjutants to be held at
national headquarters in December.
Have Ball Team
Although this year was the first
that junior baseball was conducted
by the legion on a nationwide
scale, approximately 10000 boys
participated in the program. Since
the organization work is out of the
way it is only reasonable to expect
that the number will be swelled in

tunity to impress the principles of
Americanism on the youth of the
nation.
This year the legion will continue
to support the scout movement in
every possible way.
The national convention, recog-
nizing the increasing number of &C
cidents and fatalities, especially to
children on our public streets,
adopted a resolution charging the
Americanism commission with the
duty of preparing a program to re-
duce this loss of life.

the most outstanding activities of
the most outstanding activities Of
the American Legion. Wherever

aster the legion emergency units
have given valuable service. An
effort is being made to have every
post in the country organize emer-
gency relief units in order that the
legion may continue to give the
same loyal and unselfsh service that
it has in the past in time of need.
Another activity for the Ameri-
canism division in the coming year
will be to conduct an educational

Tense.

post organize within it's respective

tional defense for the purpose OF
educating its people on the strength
and needs of national defense Of

their race and more sympathetic
treatment, they said for their mem

that members of their race be put in
as physician and attendants, instead
of the present white practitioners
who practice in Austin and go to
the institution only when called.
Since there is no colored oculist in
Austin. they said that the present
Caucasian eye specialist should be
retained.

nurse and attendants to be members
of their own race.

clined to agree with the delegation.

said, were burying $4,000 every
year under the ground when half
that amount is enough. If this is
done 100000 can be saved in the
next four years. log

cause some of them might have g
hard time getting out Of them when

Many people not well known, even
in the block In which they live
have funeral services lasting from s
