THE time the American Legion
l. had its convention in New
York City and JOY was uncon-
fined, l saw a lady passed from
veteran to veteran for half
block on Broadway without her
feet touching the sidewalk once.
That shows you the advan-
tage of experience. During the
peace celebration last week,
three of our jubilating service
lads tossed a lady high in air,
then scampered off without
waiting TO catch her when she
descended with the result she
wound up in a hospital with
contusions.
When those boys are old and
gray and enjoying reunion
somewhere, they will not make
the same error. They will be as
dextrous in fielding ladies as
those Legionnaires / mention.
But you have to learn these
things and this lady tossing in
cident took place the first night
of the celebration.
