THE BEE: OMAHA, FKIDAY, AUGUST 6, LEGION . NAMES DELEGATES TO HASTINGS MEET Douglas Post tp Be Repre sented by 5 8. Members Bonus and Boxing Bills Slated for Discussion. Morton Hiller and Tohn Weed. members of the Douglas county post of the American Legion, who enrolled the most new members in the local post during the recent membership drive, will attend the state convention to be held at Hast ings, August 26, 27, and 28, together ' with 56 other delegates, pvho were elected Wednesday night at the reg ular meeting of the post. Hiller and Weed will attend the convention as guests. Besides electing delegates, the post instructed the. representatives to revive the fight for the bonus. The post also voted that the dele gates take up the matter of non members of the American Legion wearing the Legion emblem, and to do all in jts power to stop this practice. To Present Boxing Bill. j The recent bill drawn by the local post legalizing boxing in this state . will be presented before the con vention for further adjustment.. The Douglas County post expects more than 10,000 former soldiers, t sailors and marines to attend the first annual reunion of former serv ice men to be held at Krug park September" 1, 2, and 3, under the di rection of the American Legion. It is the plan of the reunion com mittee to stage a sham battle at the park. Fireworks and. a barbecue will be the other features of the hree-day meeting of soldiers, "gobs" and "leathernecks." Expenses vBig Problem. With the state convention but a fnw weeks off and 56 delegates go ing from this post, officials of the local branch-are wondering how the post will pay, the expenses of the men. There is not enough money in the treasury to send the delegates, so each representative will pay his rauroaa tare and lyrtei; and lodging expenses. n The post expects to stage an athletic entertainment next month and from this show it is hoped to make enough money to return to each delegate the amount spent at tending the convention.
