HARDWARE 546 Center St. Ph. Winn. 998-999 Howard P. Savage Talks to Legion; Shows Two Films At the meeting of Winnetka Post No. 10, American Legion, Monday evening, Howard P. Savage, Past Na- tional Commander of the Legion, was a guest and the principal speaker. He showed two interesting films which he termed "the big Peace Expeditions to Europe" last year. The first pertained to the overseas flight of Col. Charles Lindbergh, and the second dealt with the American Legion in its journey to Paris, where 20,000 Legionnaires attended the na- tional convention. Following the pictures, Mr. Savage gave a brief talk on the work of the American Legion, its duties and func- tions. Its first duty he defined as its obli- gation to the wounded veterans, and its second duty that of furthering the thought of universal peace. Relative to the latter he very point- edly brought out the fact that it is not the peace sought by the Pacifists, as he believed, he said, that it could best be obtained in the manner of the pilgrimages by Lindbergh and the American Legion and at the same time build up a defense to take care of such emergencies as may arise. A committee from Winnetka Post will visit Great Lakes hospital this coming Sunday and Commander Howell again asks that the need of clothing for the disabled veterans be borne in mind. Several of the Legionnaires were accompanied by their wives to the meeting Monday evening. Mrs. Marvin E. Miner, Jr, of 226 Mortimer road, Glencoe, was re-elected recently as third vice-president of the Drama league at its annual meeting held in the City club.
