More Than 15,000 March In Colorful Procession As State Convention Ends

Over 100,000 Crowd Scranton Streets; Williamsport Chosen For 1938 Gathering; Gwynn New Commander
Scranton,   Pa.,   Au?.   20   IVen- ' tieth    annual    convention    of    the American   Legion  of  Pennsylvania wgK appropriately closed  here  last nighl.  as  a   pttrade   of   more   than 15,000 Legionnaires, members of the auxilliary. military musical organi- xations and the "40 and 8" funsters i petered   out   after   many   tedious | hours    of    marching.   More    than | ioO.OOO    spectators    lined    various jtreels of the city, witnessing  the most    glamorous     celebration     in Scranton's history. i
Wyoming Valley was -w-ell repre- | »ented, both in the parade and among the spectators. It was a gay. fun-loving crowd out to see and create every bit of excitement that usually goes with the Legions convention. War-time buddies marched and marched in a swelt¬ ering sun. At least 18 persons were treated for heat prostration some at first aid stations and others at hospitals. A Great Day
It was a gala celebration, con¬ tinuing even after the convention came to a close. The Legionnaires In large numbers made merry in the various hotels and other points of the city.unwilling tn bring fe tivities to a close. Spectators also stayed until a late hour and ex¬ citement  reigned.
The procession had everything and waa termed one of the greatest held since 1918. Thousands on roof tops contributed the usual confetti and streamers. The Legionnaires did the rest. From gaily decoratc-l float* to smooth units of marching men, rifles gleaming in the sun. and bands galore with military tunes capturing the ear of every¬ one along the line of march, the parade was probably th« biggest thing that hit the town in year.s.
A MarUal Picture
The fact that military unita were vieing for honors at all times, even though weary of feet nnd tired from a strenuous three-day session, gave the crowd a beautiful picture. Nattily dressed uniformed band.i •nd drum corps, mounted slate troopers, details of city police and Other groups drew undivided in¬ terest. Thousands of people were seeing their first American Legion ¦tate parade and they were not disappointed.

Second Hand Marriage License
Norwich, N. Y., Aug. 20. /UP) - -Two young girls and a bus driver, at liberty in bail pending grand jury action, wondered to¬ night what the outcome will be of a strange "mixup marriage."
The case will be presented to the   grand   jury   September   12.
Principals were Miss Eleanor Kenyon. 18, Miss Margarei Ver- reau. 18, both of Norwich, and Burton Livermore. 2fi-year-old .Syracuse  bus driver.
The "marital mixup" was dis¬ closed when Gerald Desmond, 22, of Willet, complained to the district attorney that he was being congratulated on his mar¬ riage to Mi.ss Kenyon as the result of a newspaper announce¬ ment. Desmond said he had taken out a marriage license for himself and Miss Kenyon a year ago. but that they never had used  it.
An investigation revealed that the license was used by Mi.^s Verreau and Livermore. Authori¬ ties reported that the Kenyon girl allegedly aFted as a wit¬ ness signing her name ••Miss Margaret   Verreau."
