IMPARTIALITY Y
!. DEMANDED. IN
CHARGES

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. 20.
Alexandria city's war on exceS-
.stve telephone toll charges for
calls between Alexandria and
washington appeared a long
ways from being ended today,
despite the announcement made
yesterday that the 10-cent rate
charge for these calls would be
reduced to five cents within the
next 80 days.
Advocates of a boycott to force
reduction of this toll charge said
today that it was doubtful
whether this compromise" would
prove satisfactory.
Petitions being circulated here
In behalf of the proposed boy
colt did not say just what re-
auctions would be asked, but pro-
moters of the move declared that
AlexandrianS should be given
the same consideration by the
telephone company that its sub
scriberS in other nearby points
in Virginia and Maryland are
afforded.
Ask Unlimited Calls
A service peri itting unlimited
calls to Washington without any
toll charge is apparently what the
petitioners will seek. Several Of
those interested in the boycott
plan said that they would be will
ing to pay a reasonable increase
in their monthly service charges
If the no-tol4 service to Washing
ton were included.
Supporting their contention that
such request was not unfair, pc
titioners pointed out that some of
the subscribers using the Walnut
service in Arlington county were
just as far out of Washington as
those in Alexandria being forced
to pay a toll charge. The Walnut
service affords unlimited calls to
Washington without toll charges.
The same service, it was added,
is also afforded to a number of
subscribers in Maryland who have
advantage of the Wisconsin ex-
change. Many of these, it was
pointed out. are much farther
from the Washington exchange
than any point in Alexandria.
One of the local subscribers who
Is circulating one of the petitions,
said today:
I'VE certainly don't intend to
drop our plans just because this
five-cent reduction has been an
nOunced. Why shouldn't we
expect the same reasonable tele-
phone service as afforded sub
scribers in other suburban
areas just as far out of Wash
ingtOn service.
"While l can't speak for the
entire group interested in de-
manding better service through
threat of q boycott, / certainly
believe they will all agree that
we should have still better Wash
ton service.
Circulation Of the petitions
will continue, at any rate, and
after we have obtained all sup
Fort possible, we shall then
meet and decide just what con-
sideratiOn we should reasonably
ask Of the telephone company.
Those sponsoring the move will
meet the latter part of this
week to decide what action to
take since the five-cent reduc-
tiOn was announced yesterday"
An official report Of the five
cent reduction announced yester-
day will be made to the city
council at its meeting Tuesday
night, it was announced today
by Henry O'Bannon Cooper, chair
man of the telephone rate COM
mittee appointed by the council.

According to an analysis made pub

Elected the end of the emergency and
included a volume of private mortgage
loans for new home construction more
than twice as large as any previous

OF the total volume of urban mort
gage finance undertaken by all Federal
and private agencies in 1884, amounting
to $2,512,O0OO00, only $110,000,O0O
was for construction of new homes. That
figure contrasts with $2,456, 100000 lent
for new home construction in 1885, the
peak year for all time. Total loans for
home construction in 1929 aggregated
81, 222, 100000. In 1884, HOLC made

of 81, 900, 100000, which was 80 per cent
of the entire estimated volume of urban

in the United States that year.
In 1885 the estimated total volume
of urban mortgage financing was ST.

the 1884 Hole figure and also less
than half of the entire volume for last

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 3. = With the eighteenth annual nation al convention of The American Le- zion only two weeks away, tens of thousands Of Legionnaires from coast to coast, their pulses already ouickened by the Joys of anticipa- tion, are making happy preparations to swoop down upon Cleveland for one of the greatest reunions of Am erican World War veterans in his tory.
 By highway, railway, skyway and waterway the Legion hosts, more than 100000 strong, will converge upon this hospitable Great Lakes metropolis from every corner of the land to make the welkin ring here for four great days-September 2l to 24-with jubilation over this years achievements, with fun and frolic, with "reminiscences and recol- lections, and with the mighty tramp of their feet as they'll march in what may be the greatest Legion parade ever held.

DEP APARTMENT MEMBERSHIP
 REPORT GIVEN
Sid Raynor, First Depart. ment Vice-Commander,
 Tells of Enrolment
BY SID. c. RAYNOR
First Department Vice, Commander

First Department Vice, Commander
 At the Department Convention held at Seward last year the Quota Membership Committee placed the Department quota for the year 1886 at 898 members. An average was made of the past 10 years for the quotas for the Posts that were in existence that long, and a quota similar to the preceding years membership for the newer Posts.
 As soon as the quotas were ac- cepted by the Department Conven- tion, Second Department Vice Commander Stanley J. Nichols, of Valdez, and myself entered into a friendly contest between the two divisions of the Department, Nichols sponsoring Southeastern Alaska composed of the Posts south of the Gulf, and myself heading the Posts of Southwestern and Interior AL aSka.
 i It was agreed between ourselves that the mark of 1000 members be set for Alaska to be signed up by Convention time in Juneau in Sep tember, 1886
 | To mention the activities of the two in the contest would be unnec- essary as I know Stanley has been working diligently at his end and has made many personal visits this year to the Posts in Southeastern Alaska, which has helped lot in his drive.
 As to myself, I had to depend on the mails for contact, and The AL aSka Legionnaire, our department magazine. Letters were written to each Post immediately to bring in the membership by Armistice Day

FLORIDA PROUD OF

CLEVELAND, Sept. 3. = When she leads her proud corps down broad Euclid Avenue in Cleveland on Tuesday, September P, during The American Legion's big parade at its 18th Annual National Conven- tion, Miss Priscilla Eveleth, 7-year- old mascot. of the Winter Haven (Fla) Drum and Bugle Corps, is bound to attract attention as she twirls her two batons.
 Three-ti state champion and winner of the first award cup in St. Louis last year as the best mas cot in the parade, this pretty Florida college girl is heralded as just about the "struttin'est" drum major in the business.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-09-03

and then continued on until De- cember 31, when Valdez Post No. 2 won the Travelling Membership Cup, having signed the largest per centage of it's quota up to that time of any post in Alaska.
 Contact was kept up by mail with the Posts by both officers and by May 31, 1886, the Department passed it's quota of 898, having reached a membership of 9O6.
 Again Valdez Post No. 2 comes in and wins the mid-year membership trophy by having percentage of 207l per cent.
 With the last month before the Convention at hand, the officers of the Department have formed Quo- ta Drive for August, and it is hoped that by Convention time every Post in the Department will be over 100 per cent.
 To this end I have written each Post in my section a letter urging them to make that 100 per cent for the Convention, and incidently. as sist me in winning the Department Vice-Commanders' M e m b CT h p Contest.
 With the effort put forth by the contestants and the Posts, it is pleasing to note from the statement of percentages of 1886 for the De- partments. from National Head quarters of The American Legion, that our Department of Alaska has rated three stars, indicating that the Department has surpassed its 1885 membership and also the 1935 quota.
 In closing. I want to compliment every Post in the Department for it's splendid membership activity and to those Posts not having reached the top, we say, Better work next year.

 SERVICE REPORTS

With the 1886 American Legion year drawing to a close, the Nation al Americanism Commission is call ing upon posts everywhere to for ward immediately their annual com munity service reports to their res pective department headquarters, which in turn transmit them to na- tional headquarters.
 These reports serve not only as permanent records of the achieve ments Of posts this year, but also as the basis on which the Commission awards the annual citations for community service. In 1885 a total o1 2,3l6 posts was cited.

Greetings to Contention Here
 from Former National Vice
 President of Auxiliary Unit
BY BETH LAUBAUGH Former National Vice-Presi- dent, Western Division, Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary.

cdH LeglOn AuxIllary. Greetings Sourdoughs!
 How many years ago, was it?
 Since that time officers of the Am erican Legion and Auxiliary have made their annual visits to your Territory but none of them, I know, have any happier recollections than mine.
 You folks up there may not know 1t but to this cheechako Chow is that for memory?) the most i'm pressive thing about your land of rain and skeeters is the good fel- loWship of the Legion and AUxili- ary. You see I had been travelling about the northwest speaking on service and duty, making such a serious business of membership. Then I came up there and found those things would surely follow if the spirit of fellowship dominated the organizations. It was a new thought to me and I've never let go of it.
 In sending you greetings at this time my heart is full of longing to come back and play with you, and think-perhaps-Sometime.
 May you keep alive within your hearts the beautiful spirit of fel- lowship and ever extend the wei coming hand to the weary, restless wanderers from down below"
 Faithfully,
