Page 2 ——_ Legionitems By NORMAN KRANICH Post Commander, Arthur Sawyer Post No. 28, American Legion New Writer: It was announced in last weeks column, that Judson Stephens, ereator of Legionitems, had resign- e4 as columnist. It was with regret that I accept- ed his resignation. He has done a wonderful job for two and a half years. I will try my hand at writing for a while un- til I find another Legionaire will- ing to do this same job. This is my first attempt at Journalism since writing a column for our high school paper in Waukesha, Wiscon- sif, many years ago. K- koO® ‘Thank You: First of all, I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Legion- aires, Auxiliary, and my many non-Legionaire friends for all the get-well cards and letters that I received during my recent hospi- talization at Veterans Hospital in Coral Gables. That, and the won- derful treatment and care I re- ceived in that institution, is res- ponsible for bringing me home much sooner than I expected. xt kk Veterans Day: President Ike recently signed a bill, changing November 11th from Armistice Day to Veterans Day; a day honoring all veterans from the Civil War down to the present day. Arthur Sawyer Post will spearhead a celebration, which will include a parade and various other activi- ties to commemorate the day. Vance C. Stirrup was appointed overall chairman, and will be as- sisted by representatives from the other veterans organizations in the city, as well as Legionaires from Arthur Sawyer Post. Capt. Murphy, Chief of Staff of the Naval Base, has promised Le- gionaire Stirrup all-out cooperation of the local Naval facilities. ek & Safety: Corporal Howell Gillett, Safety Officer of the Florida Highway Pa- trol, in a talk at the regular meet- ing on September 22 at the Post Home, gave the statistics proving that we are killing our fellow man and our children at a terrific rate. The Legionaires were astounded to hear of the carnage waged through carlessness and ignorance on ‘the Highways. Corporal Gillett, “I love my two children, and you all love yours; but at the present rate of traffie deaths, there is only’a 50 per cent chance of raising them.” Isn't that something to think aout, Legionaires and friends? > Disaster Relief: * Chairman Ed Bayly of the Am- erican Red Cross Disaster Relief Committee, announced the sesults of his efforts to provide Mbnroe County and Key West with full pro- tection as the result of a hurri- cane. There is a need forismore white shelters and radio operators. * x Boy Scouts: Boy Scout Committee Chairman Louis Ismay reported that the Ar-| thur Sawyer Post sponsored Troop | 256, was progressing nicely but} was still in need of more help from the Legionaires themselves. zk Membership: As Post Commander, I wish to make a plea to all of Legionaires. Please bring or send in your 1955 dues as early as you possibly can. We lead the 10th District in 1955 membership at the present time. We must not only reach one hun- dred per cent of the 1954 mem- bership, but we must exceed that time high. Bring in new members by selling Legionism and the idea that through strength of member- ship we can fight communism, | stress the importance of our work \in child welfare, and the rehabili- ;tation of our sick and hospitalized | veterans. Kh +h 2k | Guard of Honor: Captain U. J. Delgado, of the Key West Guard of Honor, announ-| ced that there were four uniforms available for new members and that applicants can contact any member of the Guard for informa- tion. x ke | Meetings: Plan to attend the next regular meeting on October 13. Some of your Legionaires haven’t been out \to visit your home since we ac- quired the property, and made the beautiful renovations downstairs. Each one of you own as much of jthis home as I do. Come out and work with me on our many pro- jects, and give us your sugges- tions on how we might better our home and policies. e ok uh& Yours For God and Country 100th Lockup On 60th Birthday LONG BEACH, Calif.

These young newspaperboys are an American tradition which reflects eur American appreciation of the values of individual enterprise. At an early age they learn responsibilities to be applied throughout the length of their career. Loyalty, perseverance and thrift mark the’activities of our carrier salesmen and each of these qualities is a necessary part of good citizen- ship. It ie in honor of all newspaperboys -- past and present -- that I, Charley E, Johns, Acting Governor now, but once a boy whe sold papers, do hereby prociaim October 2, 1954, to be Newspaperboy Day in Florida.

Dressen Still Bitter Over Bum Treatment! NEW YORK (#—Charlie Dressen the new Washington manager, is with a new club in a new league, but the former Brooklyn and Cin- cinnati pilot is still the old Dres- sen. 4 The little 55-year-old pepperpot signed yesterday to lead the sixth place Senators for the next two years at an estimated $40,000 per | season. Holding a press conference, Dressen demonstrated the same self confidence and outspoken frankness. He showed plainly that a year had not softened his bitter- ness towards the Brooklyn Dod- gers’ organization, which let him go after he won two straight pen- nants. “I’m very happy,” Chuck told “I think Washington has the nu- cleus of a good club and I know we'll do better next year. The coaches will be my own guys but, of course I'll coach at third base. I think I’m a pretty good one... “I regard this as a great chal- lenge but not like the one I faced in Brooklyn. There I had to win “No, I'm not going to predict | that in baseball. Brooklyn proved jthat. They thought they could win no matter who was the manager, didn’t they? “I knew I'd be back in the ma- jors. It's no disgrace to be sent down to the minors. I've used Qakland and Nashville twice ag) epping stones to the majors.” Sane Auld Clootie To Comment On Series (Auld Clootie, sometime Citi- zen columnist, is branching out into the field of sports.
