the attitude of the post regarding this
matter. The following telegram was
sent by the adjutant: "The local
Post wishes to inform you that we
fully endorse the National Command
el Of the American Legion in his eff
forts to pass the proposed recompen-
station bill and would greatly apprecI-
ate your efforts in putting this pro
posed Legislation into effect"
A meeting will be called in the near
future to organize an auxiliary for
the women relatives of the members
of the post 1t is urged that all men,
bcrs of the post talk with their moth
ers, sisters, and daughters about the
new organization so that when the
meeting is called all will be ready and
willing to turn out and boost for the
auxiliary.
The matter of soliciting soldiers
in uniform was another of the import

nothing about what the faculty should

even if | told them, unless they are
