A decision to begin the festivities at Hell's Half Acre at $ o'clok on Saturday afternoon was reached by the club. An announcement was also made to the effect that any persons desirious of viewing the acre are priv ileged to attend the celebration. It was thought at first that an open in. vitation to the Casper Motor club would embrace all who would wish to take part but since some persons might feel that they were not includ. ef in this, the later decision was reached. The luncheon today was marked by an entertainment given by the mem bers of the Brandon Opera company. Several beautiful selection were sung. Bd Andrews, the comedian and the tragedian as well, spoke concerning the work. Mr. Andrews has been in opera for thirty years and knows it thoroughly. Long ago he gave up the ambition of taking part for the mere money that could be gotten out of it. Instead his present ambition is to give the public dollar operas. To re-create a taste for light opera is the end of Mr. Andrews’ endeavors. ees American Legion Question Box ‘What is the attitude of the Amer. ican Legion toward union labor? ‘Can legion members be called out to suppress strikes?—R. G. Answer—Samuel Gompers has on many occasions endorsed the legion and urged members of union labor te join. The part that union men had to do in the war was so great that without the support and par ticipation of union men in the or ganization, it would lose much of its strength. Legion members cannot be called out to suppress strikes. Two years ago a few posts volun- teered for this duty, but were se verely censored by national head- quarters. Is the American Legion a military order?—Frank W. Answer—It is not. It is a civil- jan organization of men and women who sew service in the armed forces oft the United States during the world war. Hien in case of war it would be impossible to call ont members of ‘the legion. ‘What hes the.
