The American Legion national convention will bet held ir. Miami, Fla., between October 22 and 25. There will be many reasons for gofag to Miami, among them being the railroads will sell round trip tickets at the price of one-way fare and special low rates for Legionnaires will be in effect iri^Miami hotels. There will be many things to see on this trip to Miami, among them being the Edward W. Bok Mountain Lake Sanctuary at Lake Wales, the singing tower with its carillon of seventyone bells and rising" 205 feet above the highest hill in Florida. Then there is Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Silver Springs, Gainsville and Daytona. Whether you drive or go by trainone may follow the east coast route one way and the west coast route one way. In the fashion of Mahomet going to the njountain, a little touch of the Miami ^national convention of the Legion will go to scores of cities between Chicago and Florida the week of; October 16., Into community, after community will roll a motorcade of eighty * new Chevrolet? with blue bodies and gold wheels, bearing upon their sides the emblem of the American legion. Each car will be loaded with Legion bandsmen and drummers' and buglers. At the rear of the procession of Chevrolets will follow five motor trllcks loaded with musical instruments, cots and bedding and other supplies. v General Motors has donatel this huge fleet of Chevrolets -to be used at Miami for official purposes, particularly for the transportation of distinguished guests. By sending it across country to Miamij as the largest motorcade ever to cross the centralland southern states, the Legion will be brought to the attention of the towns it visits as never befor^. In each town local posts are arranging ceremonies of entertainment for' the Chicago bands and drum corp.® which are being transported and concerts will be given at many stopping places. T o l d Tales An investigation by the Washington Taxpayers' Protective Association has disclosed that in the national capital many supposedly destitute persons drive expensive cars to tha relief stations for handouts of food. It might be amazing if the public realy knew how relief agencies are being imposed upon by such impostors. EMPLOYMENT OFFICE URGES < WORKERS TO REGISTER, The;. Re-employment Office has had many jobs that could not be filled due to the lack of having qualified workers registered in the Ideal office. At the same time there were undoubtedly several individuals in the county who "could have filled these jobs if they made kn6wn their qualifications to the Re-employment Office by registering with this service. The Employment Office should be looked upon as a "market place" where the supply of, and the demand for, workers can be focused; a place where an employer can come for capable workers and where workers-- clerical, manual, and other types may put themselves in line for employment. The fact that the local office is a branch in a nation-wide system of employment offices multiplies the op- Ai... m T portunity of a worker to secure em- Alfred Ainer of London was grant-. ployment, as a job may be found for ed a divorce because his wife had con- him outside his community if no cealed from him the fact that she had local opportunity for his service been convicted of bigamy. , exists. * *jni- rTTi " '/» . ....
