The treasury reported that $852,- 000,000 of borrowing plus issuance of $500,000,000 in bonds to the gov ernment life insurance fund, lifted the debt about $1,352,000,000 to $36,- 633,907,802, as of June 15. The bonds were issued under the bonus act to compensate the insur ance for loans made to veterans on adjusted compensation certificates prior to the bonus payment.

For many weeks members of the Durham Post, under the direction of Dr. D. R. Perry, state department vice-commander and general con vention chairman, has been working out plans for the convention and no pains have been spared in the ef fort to make the program one that will set a new high standard for the state. The Duke University football ' stadium has been secured for the drum and bugle corps drills and for • other competitive events and ar rangements are being completed for the electrical illumination of the vast field. Dances with a well known or chestra providing the rhythm for ! dancing feet will be given in com pliment to the visiting Legionaires and members of the Legion Auxili ary. The Salvation Army, long re membered as friends of the soldiers overseas during the World War, will establish one or more dugouts from which point doughnuts and coffee will be distributed without charge to the veterans. Shows and other forms of entertainment are also being ar ranged for. Under the plan announced by Dr. Perry, only veterans registering at cne of the several booths to be op erated for their convenience will be permitted to share in the festi vities being arranged.

With an attendance of fully 5,000 men and women predicted by the state department officials, the hous ing committee is working at th/: task of assuring every visitor of a place to stay during his sojurn here. While all hotel rooms have been re served, many homes are being of fered by interested citizens in tak ing care of those who will be un able to find accomodations in the hotels. According to Dr. Perry, no veteran or member of the Auxiliary should stay away from the conven tion because of the fear that they might be unable to be properly housed.

The business session for the Le gion will be held in the new armory auditorium and one of the dances will be held there. The women will hold their sessions in the First Bap tist Church. Prof. H. E.
