By Dan Hunt For the first time since its organiâ€" zation the Veterans Drum and Bugle corps gave a public performance in Lake county when they followed the colors in the Lake Bluff parade held Friday, June. 20, of the Lake county council, American Legion. At the previous meeting in Deerfield in May sufficient funds were fiven by memâ€" bers of the Legion to permit purchâ€" ase of the needed instruments. The boys showed up excellently considerâ€" irg the short time they have been practicising. â€"After the parade the corps assembled on the lawn in front of the village hall and played several numbers. v Monty â€" Rasmussen was the first committee chairmen to report. He told of plans for the pilgrimage held June VETS BUGLE CORPS AT LEGION MEETING First Appearance at Lake Bluff Session of County Council; Other Features 21 to Normal ‘Orphans‘ home, the route, and asked that those present contribute to the purchase of uniâ€" forms for the orphans‘ band. $115 was raised for this purpose. + Bruno Henderson announced that Lake county stood third in memberâ€" ship in the state with a total of 1815. He asked that posts organize a final cleanâ€"up drive to get enough members to put the district in first place. . County papers were very generous with : space on Legion news, said Frank Elliwell, no less than 210 items having been published in the last month. Complete reports of Memorial Day activities had not been received by Mancel Talcott, state and county graves registration officer. He asked for immediate attention on the matâ€" ter.by post adjutants. Robert Gullic for North Chicago, chairman for the district convention to be held at the North Chicago hosâ€" pital, with Dr. St. Antoine and staff Thursday, July 3, 1930 as host, Sunday, August 3rd, told of partial plans for that event. He said in part: "This is to be on the order of a picnic for Legionnaires and their families. A choice part of the grounds will be set aside as a picnic grove. Lemonade and coffee will be furnishâ€" ed by the hospital. There will be a number of entertaining features for the ladies and children while the busâ€" iness meeting is going on. The hosâ€" pital will be open for inspection from 10 am. to 4 p.m. The drum and bugle corps will entertain and band music is also on the program. "This meeting and visitation of the hospital," he concluded, "will give the Legion a chance to see how disabled vets are handled in the hospital and will be time well spent for entertainâ€" ment and experience." Archie Maplethorpe of Antioch exâ€" pressed his appreciation of the way youngsters in the county joined in the Junior League Baseball teams. Many good teams were in the field now, he stated, but next year they will be even better. A trophy for the winning team is now being seâ€" lected, he announced. ; Dr. St. Antoine addressed the meetâ€" ing with thanks and praise for the prompt response he obtained from the Legion on his appeals for help,. He said that boys in the hospital were as proud as peacocks when they "made" the drum and bugle corps. He told of one chap who had to be carried about or in a wheel chair inâ€" sisting on learning to play the bugle. When the first parade took place on the hospital grounds he was in the ranks and has been marching with them ever since. This one case alone proved the worth of the corps to the boys in the hospital, he stated. Anâ€" other activity possible through the bugle corps was the regular raising and lowering of the flag at sunrise and sunset, an event looked forward to by all who can take a part in it. The bugle corps of 32 members pracâ€" tices daily except Sunday from 11 to 12 a.m. and from 3 to 4 p.m. under the leadership of "Scotty" Andrews, the drillmaster of Sharvin Post Drum and Bugle corps, with the assistance of members from that organization. Present plans include participation in the state convention parade in Auâ€" rora, the doctor said, and possibly in every parade preceding council meetâ€" ings. If Legionnaires could see what an excellent effect the bugle corps had had upon veterans and hospital staff they would feel that their cash had been successfully invested. "Come to North Chicago August 3rd â€"â€" we want you to see us, know us, and see our work," the doctor concluded. Plan Marching Clubs Among other speakers of the eveâ€" ning were "Daddy" Doyle of Lake Bluff post, the oldest Legionnaire in the county; and George Hosendove, commander of Lake county‘s only colâ€" ored post. Mr. Hosendove gave a brief sketch of what his post hoped to acâ€" complish with the colored vets in the district.
