North Carolina Legion probes veterans training and boarding
The North Carolina American Legion conducts two investigations led by James A. Lockhart into World War I veterans handling at the U S Veterans Bureau. They report overcrowded Waynesville Training School and poor Raleigh boarding house conditions, with steps taken to adjust training programs and seek better facilities and contracts. A Greensboro meeting plans memorial observances and a Rocky Mount convention, while local posts combat German propaganda and push prohibition. Professional visitor Thomas Gold attends Asheboro trial on blue-sky law violations.
