Parades for
Brooklynites
By LOIS STEWART
' If a group of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
Legionnaires were leaning-out of
car windows looking for western
hospitality, they got it in a big
way late Wednesday night when
their specinl Los Angeles national
convention-bound train pulled In
to tbe Southern Pacific station
and they were greeted by the
snappy Klamath Falls drum corps
and a hundred or more towns
people. The Brooklyn ex-army and navy
men piled out ot their coaches,
walked through the regular north
bound train and were greeted by
the first drum corps to welcome
them on their long trans-continental
trip. Some were a Jittle
heavy-eyed, and not a few were a
little weary from the long trek
across the country, but they all
packed a smile that they used to
win hearts back In 1918 when
they wore the O. D. and the navy
cloth of Uncle Sam's fighting
force.
163 on Special
There were 163 men on the
special train going south to the
national conclave. Including 40
members of the champion New
York state drum corps.
Among the notables who step
ped oft the train In the blare ot
trumpets and the boom of drums
were Allster C. Colquhoun, a New
