; FRANCE SETS HOW
IN HONOR OF LEGION
---■—
PARIS, Aug., 12. (/P)—France will
observe a public holiday Monday,
September 19, in honor of American
i Legion members here ofr their Paris
convention. The holiday has been
decreed by the government. Despite
the fact that it is now expected that
attendance will be far less than the
30.000 originally anticipated, the gov
ernment is planning an elaborate en
tertainment for those who do come.
There will be an official banquet for
1.000 of the delegates, a gala ball,
fireworks, special illuminations and of
ficial receptions. Approximately $150,
000 has been appropriated for the
government’s share in the programe.
BRING HIM TO SEWARD
It is reported that the reindeer at
Curry is more or less of a nuisance
for he is altogether to friendly and
famliar with the many people who are
stopping and passing through that
busy place. Jf such is the case,
it has been suggested locally, that
Seward put in a bid for the animal
instead ending its career in a Lomen
brothers can. Through the kindness
of the railroad and the Bureau of
Education, Seward has had the rare
good fortune of having one of the
pets throughout the entire season
and w'ould gladly welcome the op
portunity of taking the best of care
of the one at Curry should they de
sire to pass him along.
