WARFARE PAGEANT
AT BEACH
Kiwanians Hear Outline OF
Program To Highlight
State Convention

Residents Of this area are to be
treated to the greatest warfare
show ever to be depicted since
the actual operations in the South
Pacific islands at Carolina Beach
on a date yet to be selected be-
tween June 14-17, according to
William Farmer, convention chair
man of the Carolina Beach Post,
American Legion.
A preview of the program for
delegates to the 1947 Department
of North Carolina American Legion
convention to be held at Caro-
Ina, was outlined for Wilmington
Kiwanians by Mr.. Farmer at their
meeting yesterday o
The combined land, sea and
aerial operations will be carried
out under actual battle conditions
and will involve Army, Navy
and Marine personnel.
While some 500 Marines from
the Camp Lejeune base stage q
landing from amphibious craft on
the shores of Carolina Beach,
hundreds OF soldiers of the SIND
Airborne division from Fort Bragg
will drop by parachute from
scores of carrier planes which
will be brought over from Pope
Field. While the operation is in
progress, Farmer said, the Nays
newest aircraft carrier, the U.S.S.
Saipan, will lay some 1900 to
1000 feet off-shore.
Ray Galloway, department vice
commander and executive officer
of Post No. 10, preceded Farmer
and gave a few statistics on Lee
gion membership. AS of this date,
he said. Legion membership in
all departments totals over $780,
while North Carolina now enjoys
a membership Of IS, 900, largest in
the history of the organization.
The local post embraces the larg-
est membership of any post in
the state, Galloway said.
President Rex Willis called at
tention to the kite flying contest
to be staged Saturday morning
at 10 at Legion stadium under
auspices of the Brigade Boys
club, while chairman F. w. Sol
omon1 of the committee on public
relations called attention to the
fact that only 269 citizens had
registered for the special cleo
ton on the Junior College and
Tubercular hospital projects.
On recommendation of the board
of directors, the club voted unani-
mously to send President Willis
and Secretary Walter Freed as
club delegates to the annual con-
vention of KiWanis International
to be held at Chicago in June.
J. @. LIE Grand and Aaron Gold
