Show American Legion To Celebrate 31st Anniversary Clarence C. Neslen, Utah Commander Com-mander of the American Legion, announced this week that on Saturday, Sat-urday, March 25, in Salt Lake City, Legionaires will hold a statewide state-wide Legion birthday party, honoring hon-oring the 31st anniversary of the founding of the organization. Hotel Newhouse will be the site for the thousand-man banquet ban-quet and floor show which begins promptly at 6:30 p.m. Legion posts in Utah annually stage local birthday parties between be-tween the dates of March 15-17. However, not since 1941 has the Legion department held a combined com-bined state-wide observance. Due to pressure of the War, they were discontinued that year and were not resumed until this year. Tickets have been printed and distributed proportionately to Legion Le-gion post commanders under the direction of Clem S. Schramm, general chairman. |
