There’s No Substitute
for Old Grand-Dad
ou’ll never know how fine a bourbon can be Y until you try Old Grand-Dad — one of Kentucky’s finest whiskies. It goes into new charred white oak
casks a superior whiskey. There it ripens until com-
pletely matured. Then it is bottled in bond. Enjoy this superb whiskey’s smoothness, mellowness and heart-warming flavor soon. Then you will know why there’s no substitute for Old Grand-Dad "Head of the Bourbon Family.”

Dear Commander Wilson:
I am delighted once more to welcome to New York State the 1952 National Convention of that great organization—The American Legion.
All the people of the Empire State are glad you are coming and I know the people of New York City will greet you with open arms as familiar and well liked friends. The City and all its facilities will be at your disposal. I earnestly hope that while the Legionnaires are in our State they will linger long enough to visit some of New York’s fine beaches, our magnificent forest preserves, streams and lakes.
We are proud of the Legion in New York as in the Nation, proud of its membership and of its leadership. The people have reason to be grateful to the Legion for its many activities contributing invaluably to the common good.
I congratulate the Legion and add my sincere hopes that the 1952 Convention in New York may be the best and the happiest of them all. Sincerely yours,
TED:RC

VINCENT R. IMPELLITTERI
Mayor, City of New York
April 29, 1952 RH Hon. Donald R. Wilson, National Commander The American Legion 1952 National Convention Corporation 500 Park Avenue, New York 22, N. Y. Dear Commander Wilson:
It is a happy privilege for me as a Legionnaire and as Chief Executive of our great city to extend a warm welcome to the officers and members of the American Legion who hold their 34th National
Convention in our city August 24th to 28th, 1952. 1 am happy to note that this will be the third time our metropolis is being honored by this great national gathering of the American Legion, the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary, the Forty and Eight, and Eight and Forty.
1 know that New York’s eight million citizens as well as the addi- tional millions in the adjoining metropolitan area will welcome wholeheartedly this great gathering of Legionnaires and their families from all over the nation—and the delegates and visitors from the world over. This meeting will be held at a most crucial time in our nation’s history with every American deeply interested and concerned with the action to he taken and the principles to be espoused by the American Legion.
If a keynote is to be sounded for the forthcoming Convention none better can be given than your own recent words when you
said, and 1 quote: “We who have had the honor of fighting, each in his own way, to preserve what we believe is our country’s destiny, are among those who believe it is righteous and just and good to be proud of America, and of her moral and material strength. We would see this strength reactivated to be used in the interest of good all over the world.”
In closing, I can only say that New York City will leave nothing undone to provide for the comfort and the convenience of its guests so as to insure that this, the 34th Annual Convention, may be the most successful in the history of the American Legion. Sincerely yours,
Mayor

Just as they were preparing to burn him alive he was rescued. For a time Putnam lived peacefully on his Connecticut farm and augmented his income by operating a tavern where patriots used to congregate in the stirring days be- fore the Revolution. Then in April, 1775, came the incident known to every school child. The news from Lexington reached him while he was at work in the fields. Lay- ing down the plough and unyoking the oxen, he immediately set off to fight for freedom. At the Battle of Bunker Hill it was General Putnam who uttered the mem- he Indian trail which once led past orable command to his men, “Don’t fire T Israel Putnam’s birthplace has given until you see the whites of their eyes.” way to a crowded turnpike; the town, for- Another of “Old Put’s” exploits which merly Salem Village, is now Danvers, Mas- has become part of the American legend sachusetts; hut the house has withstood the took place on his farm where a savage wolf onslaught of time and change and last year and her whelps had killed seventy of his had its 3U0th anniversary.

The present owner, who founded three well- known private schools in New England, has devoted a half century to the main- tenance and restoration of the house. It is occupied by one of her sons whose child represents the tenth genera- tion of Putnam descendants to live there.
