The American Legion will con-
duct a campaign FOR new members

a different drive" from any pre-
viously held. A feature that the
great general public should be
quick to realize is that they, mem.
bers of the public, will not be call
ed upon to contribute anything but
good will. Positively no money con-
tributions will be expected or re-
ceived from them. They will be ex-
pected to exhibit their friendship,
but not their check books. The
campaign is aimed at men who are
eligible for membership, which
means that every member of the
Legion will have to take on and
convince two comrades.
