A contract was entered intowith Kabler Brothers Company, MountMorris, Illinois, by which the Departmentcommitted itself for a year; the provisionsof which the payment of 1650.00 to thiscompany and the Department reserving therights to solicit and collect for advertisingmatter. The American Legion Auxiliary ofthe Department of Georgia was invited toparticipate in this venture.This magazine was a credit to the D epart ment, more news of the activities of the Postscould be carried than in the “Adjutant’sLetters” which was merely a makeshift untilthe Department could establish a bettermeans of disseminating news.The first issue of the “Georgia Legion naire” was the September 1928 number.Prior to this time The Auxiliary had editeda leaflet known as the “Gala News” , but up on the publication of an official magazine ofthe Department “Gala News” was consoli dated with and formed part of “The Geor gia Legionnaire.”In September, 1930, the “Georgia Legion naire” was converted into a newspaper.proving and adopting the program for theState of Georgia; andW h er ea s , The Georgia School of Tech nology, Emory University, Oglethorpe Uni versity and other institutions of higher learn ing in this state have generously provided freescholarships for all eligible war orphans inthis state; andW h er ea s , A t the last session of Congress,Senator William J.
