LEGION COMMANDER
 EXPLAINS REASONS
 FOR MONEY APPEALS
Communication Outlines Mon. ey Needed to Handle State
 Convention

A presentation of the attitude oi the local post of the American Legion in regard to the methods of realizing funds is contained in communca tion issued yesterday afternoon by post commander Ebert Reynolds who states that Gin view of the fact thet some citizens of the community may gain a wrong impression from the persistent efforts on the part of the Allen Hearin post of the Ameri- can Legion to realize funds, we think some exeplanation is in order.' The Allen Hearin post sponsored the concert here of James Goddard, bas- so, as well as a carnival which came here some time ago. Permission to contract with another carnival com pany was granted the post at the last regular meeting of the council. The communication from MT. Reynolds is in full, as follows:
 "To the Editor of the Graphic:
 "In view of the fact that some cit izens of the community may gain a wrong impression from the persis- tent efforts on the part of the Allen Hearin Post of the American Legion to realize funds, we think that some explanation is in order. The Legion IS, by no means, primarily social organization. It is organized for a two fold purpose; to perpetuate mem- ories of the great war, and to aid constructively in solution of the problems of peace. Surely these pur- poses are meritorious, and in ac- complishment of them, every citizen should be ager to lend aid and en- couragement. To stimulate interest among it's members and to circulate propaganda in line with the very laudable purpose of the organization, 1t is very essential that funds should be available.
 More especially is money needed at the present time to properly en- certain, and to provide for the com fort of upwards of seven hundred and fifty delegates who will be in at- tendance at the state convention to be held in this city next year. Through the selection of Pine Bluff as the convention city no little hon. or has been conferred on the local post and Pine Bluff accordingly. ey- cry resident should be vitally con- cerned in seeing that the approach ing convention will be such as will be in line with similar enterprises sponsored by Pine Bluff organiza- tions. For this reason particularly 1t is hoped that all those citizens. who must be mindful of the possibili ties and potentialities of an orrani- zation of this character, will eagerly and enthusiastically assist in every endeavor of the Allen Hearin Post of the American Legion, and will lib- erally patronize all the. entertain ments sponsored by them.

Here's Instance of
Real Service Red
Cross Has Performed

Because the war has been over for
nearly two years, one is apt to forget
that many government problems, es-
pecially those concerning the ones at
nome. who were left dependent by
their support being taken from them
when their son or husband was killed
in France, are yet to be settled
Almost every day the Red Cross
home service station here Is called
upon to adjust some claim. A case
was settled recently, which, If no
other work had been done by the Of
flee, was worth the effort and eX-
pense because of the happiness it
brought to one concerned.
The oldest son of little woman
here in the city enlisted at the begin
ming Of the war. He was sole sup
port of his mother, yet he felt that
1t was his duty to go. She did not
try to keep him back, altho she knew
| of the hard work 1t would mean for
her to keep up the expense of the
family, without his help.
Unknown to her. the son married
France. His allotments, which the
| mother thought she would receive,
failed to come. The girl he had mar
ried was getting them. But the old
| lady waited patiently, working, in
the meantime, at anything she could
get to do. But clothes and food for
the others in the family, cost a great
| do nnt I'D to Jnf "a h
| out cash. SO the old lady had to go
| in debt, in order to lives
Finally word came of the death OF
her son in France. His mother was
broken hearted. Several months
went by. and she learned that she
should be the beneficiary OF his in
surance. The Red Cross station here
| investigated. and learned that the
payments We're going to the woman
the boy married.
For months the Red Cross station
tried to get compensation for tnc
mother, but without success. AZ
last, just this week, letter was re-
ceived from the bureau of compen-
sation in Washington saying that the
| old lady would be allowed $50 a
month, and with the letter was Il
check for S420, for back allowance.
The woman was overJoyed, The
check looked too big to be true, and
| with 1t she saw her way TO pay her
debts. The Red Cross office is not
going to stop there in the case APP
plication has been sent for widows
pension for her. and her little piece
of property will be emempt from tax
| alton If the Red Cross is as success
full with the state as 1t has been with
the federal government.
