RUDOLPH TELLS OF INDIANS CONVENTION AT SITKA
By W. J. Rudolph


 President, Wrangeu Camp No. 1
 The sitka ANB-ANs convention started by the battle song Onward Christian Soldiers led by Capt Stabbert of the Willis Shank, mis- sion vessel.
 The Rev. Frederick Knebel of the sitka Lutheran Church led the devotion prayer, after which the Grand President called on Presid- ent Emeritus Ralph Young for an address
 When l looked around te con- vention floor, l couldn't help but see the difference in the type of delegates than those that were sent to the KluckWan convention of 1927. for l attended this conven- tion as delegate from Wrangen.
 There were four to six delegates at each of the fourteen tables, at Sitka, representing the different ANB-ANS Camps, and each one of them seemed he was there for a purpose.

Paul ST, possessed, that was the reason that in 1929 he had nearly all the ANB-ANS votes in the palm of his hand.
 But. in looking over the present delegation. I could zee that nearly everyone looked as though they had a mind of their own. and sure enough. as the convention progress sed, it showed in the way they dis sected every resolution that came on the floor for discussion. they a. mended or rejected or referred back to the committees that they came from. as the case might be, so l could see that we had travelled a

long way in Che 26 years since l had attended my first convention. | remember at Chat time that all fBe resolutions that came on the floor were adopted with hardly a dissenting voice because Wm. l.. Paul. sr.. dominated that conyeu- tion. ] remember lhat il was at the 1927 convention chat the land ques- tion came up but there was nothing done about it at chat time
 In this 1893 convention when the land claims came mp for discus sion. it was 1I:ao D. m. before Ne were through with il but there was something aegaarl.-h#d.
 On the 8l.h day the nomination and eleelia4 Of officers came up in the afterneu session. We were fin ished with .he nominations br s D. m.. but We #eeessed for a basketball game between the Sheldon Jack on school and he famous AZB suka team in which the ANB won by a narrow margin Our Grand Ser geant-at-Arns. Jeff David. was the star player for ANB.
 At I0.3a p. m. We ree0uvened and started To listen 10 the cam paign speeches of the nominees. So it Was not until 3:30 that We ad- iourned or recessed. until 10 a. m tbe same morning. but the teIIers didn't get through counting the votes until 6:S0 in the morning. as a result of this none of Us got much sleep that morning

History Teacher Addresses
Slate Hill OAR. Weeting

Dr. Marvin w. Schlegel. history
professor al Longwood College
was guest speaker for the Slate
Hill D A, r at the regular meet
ing Friday night, October Is. in
the home of Mrs Kyle Baldwin
with Mrs. c. F.. Wilson. as CO.
hostess.
Dr. Schlegel was introduced BY
Mrs. w. A. Crutcher, program
chairman, who said that he woulr
speak on National Defense"
The speaker began his talk BY
indicating that peoples minds
usually run to thoughts about
guns, planes, and civilian defense
when National Defense" is men
toned. He believes that import
ant as these phases are, our pre-
! llmlnary concern should be in
knowing what We are defending
10 some people. we are de-
tending the outward evidence of
our civilization, such things as
soft drinks and automobiles. To
nm. AmerlcanlSm is not so much
the material objects but rather a
spirit or dream. DR. Schlcgel said
that to understand the spirit or
dream We must 20 back to the
revolution to find the original
meaning of Americanism.
In the 18th century it VIII be
remembered that the Colonists
resented the~unfair laws and taxes
imposed on them by the English
government. Dr. Schlegel indicat-
ed that the leaders of the revo-
lutioniSts tried their best to avoid
bloodshcd, but when it became
evident that the English govern
ment would not give the Colonies
certain rights. the unavoidable
course was to 90 to war.
In 1916. a convention assembled
at Williamsburg with the purpose
Of drawing up a new government
in Virginia that would take the
place Of the old The first act Of
the delegates was To draw up a
Declaration Of Rights. which was
written by George Mason The
document defined certain rights of
men that no government could
touch and it abolished the State
church.
The next document that CON
tributes towards the heritage Of
Americans is the Declaration of
Independence, authored by Thorn
as jefferson another Virginian.
The paper was adopted by the
United Colonies in l776.
The United States Bill OF
Rights which comprises the first
ten amendments to the Constitu-
ton defines individual and State S
rights, and establishes such free
doms as religion. speech, press
and right TO trial by Jury.
The fourth great document that
in Dr., Schlegels estimation sets
forth those principles in which we
believe is JeNcrsonS Virginia
Statute for Religious Freedom.
