Las Vegas poised to lure national conventions
The state conventions of the TM 1.C.C. F. and the Rebekahs will open in Las Vegas while a Las Vegas delegation seeks the 932 national convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars in nearby Long Beach.

The High school gymnasium offers temporary use but a proper convention hall is sought, with full housing for delegates expected within a year.
