Hiirty-Third Year Legion Spring Rally March 18th And 19th COMMANDER TURNER SETS OUT AGENDA FOR THE COMING YEAR The following letter has been ad dressed to the members of the American Legion by State Com mander J, R. Turner, of Bennetts- ville. In this he tells of the plans for the spring rally, to be held in Columbia March 18 and 19 and outlines the legion’s constructive program for 1935. The letter follows: Fellow Legionnaires: ‘‘The Spring Rally” will be held this year on March the 18th and ~19th at which time the National Commander of The American Le- l gion, Frank N. Belgrano, Jr., and the National President of the American Legion Auxiliary, Mrs. “Tess” Carl- eon, will be the guests of honor. The “Spring Rally” has become an institution now with the South Carolina Department of The Amer ican Legion and it is a traditional custom for the National Com mander and other distinguished guests to visit our Department. We are looking forward this year to the largest gathering we have ever had. It is the desire , of the De partment Officials to make this year’s “Spring Rally” an outstand ing event, - both in the matter of attendance and accomplishments. . The Conference \of the Service Officers’ under the direction of J. Bari Bethea, Department Service Officer, will be held on March 18th A dance that night—a most color ful affair—will be given in the Ball room of the Jefferson Hotel. .. On Tuesday there will probably be a parade fdr Commander. Bel grano and -Mrs.> Carlson. Imme diately after the parade there will be a Post Officials’ Conference, at ^ .which time we will have several in teresting ahd instructive speakers. Post Officials cannot afford to miss the opportunity of hearing these helpful and instructive addresses. that you give to our objective.

We want loya Legionnaires this year who arc- proud of their membership in The American Legion. We must have harmony within our ranks so that there can be' no question from without. Every man is proud and should be proud of his membership in The American Legion and proud of its achievements. We are going forward this year because we are right. Inspired by the right senti ment and destined to do things worth while in American History and life. I am outlining below briefly our program for the coming year, a program to which any Legionnaire might subscribe. Certainly all loyal Legionnaires will bow to the will of the majority. Roll' up your sleeves, go to work and give your whole-hearted support to this pro gram so that it will be a one- hundred per cent victory. 1935 Program Adjusted Compensation: Imme diate payment; elimination of all interest charges. Aliens: (Also see Immigration) Transfer of investigation apd de portation from Department of Labor to Department of Justice; re tention in camps pending deporta tion. Americanism: That Americanism program be made primary activity of Legion during 1935. Armistice Day: To make a Na tional holiday.

Immigration: That aliens be obliged to bear arms in defense o: flag; ability to read English a pre requisite for naturalization; op position to wholesale employment McCORMICK, S. C„ THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1935 Four Pages Number 41 ARIEL There will be an intimate discus- . . „ Sion at the plans ‘and problems f;_ O 0vemment of aliens not The American Legion and the De partment is anxious that this Con ference be a mqst successful one. To do this, tfe must have your sup port. It is not an easy job to run the Department of The American Legion of South Carolina, but with the assistance of loyal Legionnaires and Post Officials throughout the state, we should be able to “carry on” successfully. Our success and accomplishments depend on you and the support naturalized. Loans; That American home owners receive preference over aliens in home and farm loans National Defense: Intense pub licity campaign. Army—Regular army of 14,000 officers, 165,000 on- listed men and adequate provisions; reserve corps of 120,000 officers; six weeks camp for R. O. T. C.; C M. T. C. for 50,000 per year for one month.

War Debts: Payment without further extension or reduction. Widows: Federal protection for widows and orphans of the World War. Youth: Added emphasis upon youth activities. With such a program outlined above, now is the time for deep thinking, action, and speaking de cisively. What organization is capa ble of tackling such a task in these United States to do such a job as The American Legion is doing? It takes hard work to carry out suc cessfully a program as we have outlined and we must forever, by our records of constructive service, destroy the idea that we are only heroes in War and zeroes in peace. As stated above the officers of the National and Department Organ izations cannot do the job alone— the “buck private” won the war and it will be the men in the ranks who must help to put this program across now.

South Carolina has been selected to experiment on skim milk which at one time found its way into the sewers but has been taken by the government and put into powdered form to be distributed for relief purposes. ERA officials declare that it is m not the purpose of the Relief ad- rpinistration to compete with those selling milk, and that the dry skim milk will be given only to clients who are not able to buy milk of any kind. They also stated that the government recommends that dry skim milk be used preferably in addition to the regular milk supply of relief clients. According to government reports, dry skim milk is a highly nutritious ood and has proved very effective in the prevention of pellagra. It is a semi-perishable food and has ,o be handled carefully at the point of distribution and in the homes of relief clients. The main problem of the Relief administration is to teach relief clients how to use it. The Relief administration plans demonstrations throughout the state in co-operation with home demonstration agents, home eco nomic teachers, and dieticians in its program for the promotion of dry skim milk.
