S.

When the president asked me to read the address, I said no, get a younger person to read, one whose voice is stronger ind will carry to the ex tent of the crowd. But he Insisted. and said hp didn't want a youneer he wanted an old, old settler to read it, so that came to me with torce, for I am an old settler, came to Ne- braska in 65, have attended the Old I Settler's Reunion every year tor 4U years. I will now read this address of welcome, hoping to be able to make every old settler hear the words of she whose voice has so long ago been made silent. I wish for today I had a voice as heavy and strong as that of David Lafrence or Graham McNaniee, so that I might carry the her message to you: Address of welcome read by Mrs. Luther Hall in 1889 at the Old Set- tier's Reunion. Reread by Mrs. G. s. Upton in 1929 Welcome old settlers, welcome young natives, welcome all, We are so glad that so many have responded to our call.

Norfolk Man is Boosted for Committee Eleventh Annual American Legion Session Is Being Held at Hastings Hastings, Aug. 26. Several mem bers of the' Nebraska department of the American Legion, in 11th an- nual session here, were reported Monday night to be initiating a move to unseat Sam Reynolds of Omaha as national committeeman of the Legion from this state. Reynolds has held the omce tor several years and out-state Legion naires contend that an out-state man should be given the office. The most prominently mentioned for the post are Frank Warner of Norfolk, and Jean Cain of Falls City. Warner, who is a colonel in the reserves, nas ueciarea ne nas hui soiieht the iob in any way, but his friends say he would accept if elect ed. Cain, a nast commander and popular with the Legionnaires, also said he was not a candidate for the position, Warner. Phil Hall of Greenwood. Dwight Griswold of Gordon and Leo Crosby of Omaha all have been prin- cipals of pre-convention booms. And the lists are now wide open Warner was a lieutenant colonel in the reserves and was on the army general staff as a major at Wash ington during the world war. Hall Has Backing Colonel Hall has the backing of many a Legionnaire in southeastern Nebraska. Posts at Nehawka, Green wood, Louisville, Elmwood and Plattsmouth are said to have indi cated their allegiance. The eligibility Question has been raised in the case of State Senator Griswold, as the by-laws of the Le gion state that no one holding poli tical position shall hold office in the organization. It is possible, however, that he might resign from the legis lature. He is a newspaper publisher. Crosby has been styled a "possible black horse." The fact that Hall is a Democrat and Griswold a Republican adds to interest in the race. The command ers, Wade Martin of Stratton and Jean Cain of Falls City, are both Republicans, so Hall's friends hint that the Legion could prove itself nonpartisan by electing him. 2,355 Legion Claims Chairman T. E Buchanan of the Legion state fund committee report ed that $103,475 was paid out from I the emergency und on 2.355 claim during the past fiscal year. This was $16,774 more than was paid out the previous 12 months when 2.137 claims were met. The cepirnitteB raised its budget, criminally tet at $95,000, to $101,- Manley Garage Manley Thimgan Garage Murdock John Hopkins Elmwood 000. Net expenditures amounted to $2,000 more than the final figure. Expenses of . administering the fund during the biennium just end ed have been paid from a $17,000 legislative appropriation. Awarding of membership contest prizes and trophies was a feature of the program Monday. Follow ing addresses by Gov. Weaver and Frank O'Connor, state game warden, the national page contest prize and the Leah Ball cup were both pre sented to the Merna Unit which re ported a 133 per cent increase over its peak membership. In a spirited contest between the fourth and fifth districts for the Aniundson trophy, the fifth district won by a margin of one per cent, thus depriving the fourth district of a perpetual right to the trophy which the latter district would have attain ed, had it won again tnis year. Increased memberships are the general rule throughout the state this year and 58 units have won membership citations as compared to 30. laf yT-Tthe total membership pain for the state was reported to be nine per cent. Ten dollar member ship awards were won by the Ne braska City, Wahoo, Burwell, Merna and Endicott units. The auiliary reported a first day's convention registration of 372, as compared with total registration of 378 for the entire convention last year. umana uec-wews.
