NEGRO VETERANS
 POST ASSURED
State Legion Dept Expect- ed to Approve Petition
 for Local Unit

District Commander Edward Braun of Guilford officiated here last evening at special joint meeting of Corporal Frank Coyle and Mary Gormley Posts of the American Legion. The purpose of the session was to record an ex- precision of opinion as to the for- nation of another post in Water- bury, an organization composed ex- clusively of Negro veterans. A delegation of members of the pro- posed post was in attendance at the meeting and had :. as their spokesman, pr Norman D. Robin son. He outlined the plans of the new organization and petitioned for the approval of the two existing posts.
 Past Commander Walter L. Angle and Robert F. Birt and Junior Vice Commander Raymond F. Downey gave the posts opinion as to the formation of the new outfit. Com. mander Walter Jarvis also ad- dressed the meeting and made several suggestions to the colored legionnaires. Miss Helen Weinhau- en of New Haven, adjutant of the second district, recorded the state- ments of the various speakers and the matter will now be placed be- fore the state department for final approval. There is no doubt but what the petition will be granted. Announcement was made last evening that the legion was com- pleting it's list of families to whom baskets of food will be presented for Christmas. It is expected that
 200 baskets will be given away un- der the supervision of the legion's service officer, Robert F. Birt.'

 As the woman walked out of the door Nan wrote down the appoint ment and called her assistant
 "Be very nice to that woman when she comes in Friday"
 Aren't you going to take care of her yourself. Nan?"
 Nan didn't answer for moment From the desk drawer she took out a much handled newspaper clip ping. her eyes passed swiftly over the likeness of Tom. but dwelt in- tently on the woman standing be- side him.
 "No. I've. feeling won't be here Friday. I think I'll be head ed for Europe, on belated honey moon. You see-my husband hateJ straight red hair!' &
 THE END

In fact, many times Nan thought of closing up the shop with its mingled odors of soap and heavily perfumed cosmetics; it's occasional chattering patrons and whirring hair dryers, but Nan needed this little business as nerve stimulant and to prevent. her mind from go- ing back into the past and dwell ing on too vivid memories.
 Memories of life with Tom that kept coming hack with increasing frequency, and were .tinged with remorse and hurt, but never with any bitterness. Because the love Nan felt for Tom was still a be- wildering enchantment enveloping her in a warm glow whenever cer- tain episodes were relived. For instance his proposal.
 Not that it was such a romantic proposal, it had been more an an- nouncement, made early one morn- ing in the Blakely barber shop, while Nan held Toms hand across a tiny table, and added the finish ing touches to his daily manicure. Almost before she realized it, Nan found herself leaving City Hall as bride. She remembered the newspaper men gathering around eager for an interview and pictures of the wealthy young broker. Thomas Buchanan who had passed up Park avenue beauties to marry a manicurist from a hotel barber shop.
 Tom Laughed When
 The Gossips Talked
 Tom had laughed when the gos- sips speculated on his tiring of Mans brainless beauty, and her in- feriority to his own social strata, within a year. But Nan didn't laugh, she saw a possibility in this speculation, and because Tom was busy with a fiuctuating market, the promised European honeymoon was postponed, forcing Nan to jump right into the job of trying to prove the gossips wrong.
 First. Nan tried to remold her. self into a woman of culture by toning down on the use of make up; wearing her blonde hair plain to lend dignity; and adopting a more conservative style of clothes. She bought books on etiquette; on how to run a home; and on foods (their balance and necessary vita mins). Not only did Nan buy these books, she studied and prac- ticed their advice, and for four months she was supremely happy
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-20

Nan considered an accident; it could easily have been a strange woman who just happened to be standing near Tom when the news paper photographer snapped Toms picture.
 But when Nan received note from Tom making an engagement to meet at his attorneys to arr range for divorce, the terrible reality of the situation came with horrible clarity. This wasn't idle gossip, or an accident: this could mt be brushed aside so easily. It was tragedy to be faced as calm ly as possible. Because now Nan saw why their marriage had fail- ed; it had been because of little things.
 He Dididn't Want
 Nan Rcm0deled
 Tom had passed up authentic women of culture, he didn't want Nan remodeled into Q synthetic one. her appeal had been in ex- treme dressing, and, her spontane- ous hoidenish manner.

Tom wanted to feel he was whole and hearty enough to eat anything and not on the verge of acute indiges- ton. or ready to wither' up, be- cause his vitamins had their wires crossed, or his diet lacked calcium Tom had loved Nan, but hated the things she did.
 Mans heart was lighter this particular morning for understand ing all this. And she hurried around doing non- essential things with nervous sort of energy be- cause it was the eve of seeing Tom at his attorneys. Tomorrow she would dress and act as she used to. Tom would see the girl he had loved and married. and per haps some little thing could bring them together again. just as the

American Legion Goes to Aid of Conlrade Who Pawned
 War MementO to Obtain Food

San Francisco, Calif., Dec. 20 = A story in a San Francisco news paper, stating that g. veteran of the World war, had been forced to pawn as a last resort a bugle pre- scented to him by the members of the company in which he served in the war, brought immediate as- sistance from the American Legion.
 The name of the veteran is not given for obvious reasons. Mem CTS of the West of Twin Peaks Post 233 of the legion obtained the name and visited the home. The legionnaires found the. family, consisting of a wife and six chill dren, in the direst circumstances. The veteran from time to time had pawned everything worth while. He had not asked help
