Legion Post 19
To Make Bid For
1959 Convention Here
The City of Nome may well be
chosen as the convention site for
the 1959 American Legion Con
vention. Local Post Commander
Donald Grinsell expressed this
thought today in contemplating
that all cities of the territory
have had the convention in past
year save Nome.
From June 4th through 7th the
city of Seward will host the
American Legion’s Convention.
It is there that the 1959 host city
will be chosen. It is the thought
of Post No. 19’s officials that
they should be represented at
the Seward convention to place
the city of Nome before the dele
gates as the most deserving and
desirious of having the Ameri
can Legion as guests of this city.
The local post has obtained
backing from local merchants for
a substantial portion of the nec
essary funds to send a repre
sentative to Seward for the pres
entation of these facts.
However, a deficiency now pre
vails and the local post would
welcome any inquiry from the
citizens of Nome in regard to this
beneficial activity on the part
of the city of Nome. Any par
ties interested will be able to
contact Mr. Grinsell or other
officers of the local legion post.
