MORE ABOUT A.A.C.S. 
The program for the A. A. C. S. 
convention at Chattanooga is well 
under way, and some new and inter- 
esting features are promised by the 
committee in charge. 
The program and some interesting 
facts about Chattanooga and its his- 
toric and beautiful surroundings will ' 
be given in our next issue. In the 
meanwhile it is necessary to remem- 
ber the dates — October 12, 13 and 14 
— and arrange all other events so that 
they will not conflict. 
The committee is especially anxious 
to impress the members from New 
England and other summer resorts 
that the mountain city of Chattanooga 
is equipped with a better brand of 
weather than they have at home. 
The following letter from Mr. Dan- 
iel E. Bushnell of the committee in 
charge, presents the matter of the 
weather so forcibly that we quote it 
verbatim : 
“I wish you would say to everybody 
whom you can possibly reach that 
Chattanooga weather in October is 
absolutely ideal. Even now (July 21) 
our people are sleeping under woolen 
blankets. There are no such experi- 
ences here as ‘sun strokes.’. There is 
no better weather in the round world 
than October weather in this moun- 
tain city. It will be altogether a dif- 
ferent climate from that which some 
of the New England b6ys found here 
in ’63. They will find Snodgrass Hill,

Lookout Mountain and Missionary 
Ridge frigid in comparison. Really 
the climate will be more agreeable to 
the boys in October, 1910, than it was 
to some of their kin in November, ’63. 
There is absolutely no ground for 
any fear about e.xcessive heat at the 
time of the convention. I have found 
the heat of the summer less oppres-

sive here than that of Western Penn- 
sylvania, Central Illinois, or anywhere 
m Missouri, and I have lived a con- 
siderable time in each one of these 
great states. Let no one hesitate on 
account of the heat. I have just in- 
terviewed our local weather bureau, 
and find that the highest temperature 
during October here for twenty years 
was 74, and normal October tempera- 
ture is 61. Please print these facts 
and assure the friends that we have 
an abundance of fuel, so that they 
need have no fear of freezing. As I 
write, the weather map lies before me, 
showing the temperature at last report 
for Chattanooga at 62, and Boston 66.’’ 
The committee invites again any 
suggestions as to the program, or 
interesting photographs of cemetery 
work for the illustrated lectures.
