of the ship, but she was sinking.
There was a big explosion, and we
had to run back to the other end
of the ship.
There We climbed down a rope
ladder, and We got on raft. An
other lady and an officer were on
the lifeboat with us.
Sometimes the water almost
turned it upside down. Once Sylvia
was knocked into the water, but
mother pulled her back onto the
raft. 1t was awfully cold.
I'VE kept seeing another lifeboat
as we tossed around on the waves.
We signaled to it. and it kept cir
cling around us. Finally it picked
us up. Later it took us to a naval
ship.
I'VE had timed milk, rum and
biscuits on the raft to keep us going
but I was glad to leave it."
Like many other survivors, Derek
praised A. E. DoWling. an Australian,
who repeatedly dived into the sea
to rescue drowning children, many
of whom we're struggling in the
water around the ship when she
sank.
Angus Macdonald, carpenters

American Legion in convention as

American Legion In convention as
sembled. =.
This year the American Legion
has come Of age, having been
founded In 1919. Much has occurred
during the 81 years of its life. On
the world scene came peace, then
new forms of government, and now
another tragic war.
During all these years since the
Legion emerged from the World War
1t has earnestly devoted itself to
promoting our national interests. It
has consistently fostered good gov
ernment, good citizenship and ma
tional unity. Surely these spiritual
resources, whose continuance and
growth the Legion has so ably advo-
Gated, are imperative factors in the
strength and peace Of our Nation.
That strength and peace must con-
tinue.
Praises Defense Support.
I'VE now find abroad serious con-
flict between those who wish for
peace and free government and
those who wish to destroy 1t. That
test of strength has gathered force
and, whether we like 1t or not, today
1t constitutes a threat against the
peace of the entire world. We all
hold dear our American way Of life
with our individual and national
freedom. We must protect it against
any form of aggression which may
endanger it. So it Is with great sat-
isfaction that I view the Legion's
interest in the advocacy Of strength
ening our national defenses.
with much of the world at war,
am confident that the million
members Of the Legion will play
their full part in keeping the war
away from our shores and in pre-
venting 1t from imperiling our free
dom, our institutions, our America.
I hope you may have a most sue
cessful convention.
Very sincerely yours,
'FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT"

ly told delegates this likely would

During recent years, the com.
panies have made use of the
most modern techniques and
equipment to create savings
wherever possible and at the
same time meet popular de-
mands for new services which
increase the usefulness of in

ments to benefciaries out over
