In an effort to smooth over the con- troversy that originated at the Dis- trict convention of the American Le- gion Monday night, Past Post Com- mander and Past Department Com- mander E. Lester Jones made a strong plea for harmony at the meet- ing of George Washington Post, No. 1. pioneer. post of the American Le- glon, last night in the boardreom of the District building. Col. Jones vention Col. A. Drain, presided, gave fair opportunity for any delegate or alternate present to object to any point of legality over the calling of the convention, and that not only was no objection raised, but the election of all officers was made unanimous. “In my opinion,” Col. Jones stated. “that gave full sanction and approval, not only to the calling of the conven- tion, but the action in the convention itself. Regarding tje position of this post in connection With the attitude of another post concerning the con- duct of one of their members. it is a matter they alone should decide, and we should have nothing whatsoever to do with such matters in other . as delegates and alternates know and -for the benefit don’t know, was asked by the solid delegation of George Washington Post to make the election of the commander- elect unanimous and pledge him our!

Wanted: At@east 1,000 people, or one In every 450 of Washington's resi- w dents, to help witlf the Christmas opportunities in order to fully eom- plete them by’ Christmas day: To- day’s report shows only one-third of the sum needed to be in hand. Last year 634 persons responded to the opportunity appeal. More are need- ed this year, Another contributor sends $15, which will take care of Opportunity No. 1 for a week, and adds a prayer “that God will bless that mother and six children.” Another writest “With heartfelt sympathy I send thts $5. I am a widow and stand alone. Give to the invalld father and mother. Please don’t publish my name.’ In their appeal for an all-year- round Christmas for their fourteen opportunity familles, a host of others are not being forgoiten by the eight District visitors of the Associated Charities. Toys, goodies and Christ- mas dinners are all being provided. many friends making the Assoclated Charities the medium of their dis- tribution. A huge box.of toys has arrived at the Social Service House, the annual gift of a member of the, {board of managers. The box is accompanied by a gener- ous check for special Christmas membrances. One of the visitors has already used her share to pay for pair of false teeth for one of her | clients. In contrs trast to this form of Christ- mas giving, the opportunity appeal is | for a Christmas all the year round. | This apveal seeks to turn the splendid | enerosity of the Yuletide season into dynamic force .that will drive the wheels of benevolencé for a whole twelvemonth. The opportunities seek to lift the burden of anxfety from mothers who must know that unless help comes they and thelr children must be part- ed. "It is to assure such mothers that they will be taken care of by a gener- 'ous public that the Opportunity fund appeals for support.
