tions of a Pactfla Coast convention.
Callfornlans Coming.
Klamath Palls' atrateglc location, a
few miles north of the state bound
ary between Oregon and California,
assures the largest attendance of
California Legionnaires ever partici
pating In an Oregon state conven
tion. Hundreds of the "native sons" hare
already planned to be present and to
bring with them several drum corps
to participate In the parades and
street stunts. The fact that the
California Legion convenlon will be
held In Psssdena this year has made
It prohibitive for many northern
California Legion and Auxiliary mem
bera to make the long trip south;
hence their decision to take part In
the Oregon convention.
Klamath Plans Big Time. 1
After many months of preparation
tea big three-day convention pro
gram Is complete from start to fin
ish. The members of Klsmath post
No. ( and the Auxiliary, aided oy
the entire cltlnensblp of Klamath
county have been working diligently
for several months to perfect every
detail of the elaborate entertainment
schedule which la bound to score a
hit with every visitor.
Starting Thursday morning, Au
gust 10, and continuing through Sat
urday night, the Klamath veterans
promise that there will be something
doing every minute of the three days
and nights.

vention program will be the state
championship Legion drum corps con
test, the official convention parade,
the atate ohamplonshlp Junior base
ball tournament, midnight matinee,
big time wrestling card. "40 et 8"
Orande Wreck, Auxiliary atate music
contest, water carnival and speed
boat regstta and a big free barbecue.
In addition, there will be street
stunts and open air entertainment at
all hour of the day and night.
Stirring martial music by 15 drum
corps and bands will provide plenty
of pep for the World War veterans
as they again march together In the
official convention parade at 0 p. m
Thursday. The big parade will be
held at night this year for the first
time, and will be a spectacular event
with torchlights, flares and red fire
throughout the line of march. The
night parade also will insure cool
comfort for the spectators as well
aa those who participate In this col
orful Legion procession.
Champion Corps Coming.
Among the outstanding musical
organisation to be heard at the
Klamath convention will be the fam
ous Salem drum corps, winners of
the state and National champion
ships In 1033. and headed by the
national champion drum major, Chaa
Whlttemore.
The Salem corps will not compete
In the state contest this year, but
will appear In special exhibition and
the convention parade. Many other
well known drum corps and bands
from all part of Oregon and north
ern California will assist In creating
typical military atmosphere found
only at an American Legion conven
tion. French Cafe Feature.
. On of the many unique features
of the convention will be a replica of
quaint old French cafe, to be lo
cated In the basement banquet room
of the Pelican anil. This csfe. which
Is sponsored by Klsmsth volture of

ion.
Many Legionnaires and other u.
Itor plan to take the convention trip
a part of their vacatlona thle year
and will avail themselves of th op
portunity to visit some of aoutlwrn
Oregon' famous scenic recreational
attraction during their tay In th
fil.maui region.
Crater lake, Uke th.
Diamond lake, Rock Point and other
popular resort ar prepared to take
car of visitor before and after th
big convention, and trips should be
piaanea now to tsk In some of thew
beautiful scenic toots while in south.

lake and streams also should prove

terest already displayed, not only
throughout Oregon but In other
western state as well, the attendance
at the Klamath convention will be
the largest In the history of the state.
