The American Legion expects an
attendance of more than 100000 at
the annual convention of the Legion
in San Antonio, Texas, from Octo-
ber to II next.
The American Legion Convention
committee, knowing that the atten-
dance at conventions is primarily
controlled by the availability of
funds for the individual, has enter
ed into a cooperative arrangement
with the Save -to.Travel Association,

association has placed its large bank
membership at the service of the Le
gion, giving Legionnaires the priv
ihge of saving their funds in its
VacationTravel Clubs, making a.
vailable to them the special conven-
ton as well as the club facilities.

Horne expressed the hope that the
