WOMETS AUXILIARY
IS STRENGTHENED
STEPS ARE TAKEN TO INSURE
THE GROWTH OF LEGION'S
"BIG SISTER"

BY the adoption Of a resolution, the
women relatives of American ex-
service obtained from the national
convention of the American Legion
recognition that Ensures that during
the coming year the Women's Auxil-
larry will grow faster than during the
last year, in which 1t has attained a
membership Of $4,000.
The old provision that auxiliaries
Of any department might only form a
state organization when the number
Of auxiliary units was equal to one
half the number of posts within the
department was repealed. In its
place the convention established the
rule that a permanent department o.
ganization of the Women's Auxiliary
shall be effected, and q convention be
called for that purpose. whenever In
the opinion Of the department execu-
tive committee such action is deemed
proper. The convention also author
lied the appointment Of a national
auxiliary hnance officer to handle all
money hitherto forwarded by the
auxiliaries to national headquarters.
A change in the name Of the wom-
ems branch of the Legion was also
recommended, to be made at the first
national convention of the women's
auxiliary. A resolution adopted
termed the use of the word "fuxil-
larry" as unsatisfactory.
The same resolution recommended
that it be the policy of the Legion in
dealing with it's affiliated women's or
ganization to accept without question
the policy and management Of such
organization, so long as the ideals
and purposes of the American Legion
are upheld.
1t also recommended that questions
of eligibility to membership in the
affiliated organization be withheld
until the affiliated body's national
convention. The resolution also
called for definite program of CO.
operation between posts of each de-
partment and the affiliated women's
organizations within the department,
each department commander being
authorized to draw up such a pro-
gram.

STRENGTH OF THE WEAK

Some OF our friends in an effort
to discourage the proposed Legion
Auditorium. have urged as a reason
Tor not supporting US the fact" that
the American Legion is constantly
growing weaker. They say We are
too young to have acquired business
knowledge, and that We are not found
cd on a firm foundation. This may
al be true but listen to report Of
the first years accomplishments. in
4 financial way, OF the American Leg
ion.
Last year the Legion faced a deficit
Of $l34,941.63. At the second annual
convention recently held, the treac-
urer's report disclosed the fact that
this deficit has been entirely wiped
out and that there is now an actual
surplus of approximately 100000
on hand, in addition to a sum of over
3200,000.00 reserved to insure the
publication of the American Legion
weekly IOT IHc ucAS luICC ihOhtuo'
IN addition, the Legion trust fund OF
9ss3,633.63 given by the Y. M. c. A.
remains intact.
In . little over one year the Ameri-
can Legion has attained an enroll
peut Of nearly two million and an
actual paid up membership of approx
uately one million; and is today the
strongest organization of its kind in
the world.
At the recent annual convention OF
che American Legion. held In Cleve-
land, there were eleven hundred dele
safes present. representing the mem
bership from all parts Ut the country
