officers This the Legionnaires say is the true purpose and function ol: the annual convention They are aware however that the words “Legion convention” have come to mean something wholly different over the years to citizens in other convention cities They insist tha most of the horse-pla- y in the past is by a few adolescents and middle-aged adolsecents not the many Attracts Thousands And they argue that the Legion convention like any other attracts thousands of roisterers and hoodlums who have no business with the convention itself So each year it is necessary to take out convention insurance This year the policy provides $100000 for bodily injury and another $100000 for property damage At the same time 1000 men from New York state posts have been recruited to act as a kind o:'

bags which renders them useless as water-bomb- s They are leaving the telephone books the pillow cases and the Gideon Bibles in the rooms Some however are stripping the lobbies moving out furniture
