VERMONT SELECTS
WAR RISK OFFICER

A recently issued bulletin of the De-
partment of Vermont of the American
Legion gives an interesting account Of
the natione and state activities of the
organization. The story is told of the
part played by the Legion in the re-
cent passage by Congress of the Sweet
Bill providing more adequate compen-
sation and many other benefits for
wounded and disabled soldiers and sail
ors and making War Risk insurance
payable in a lump sum instead of in
monthly driblets covering a long term
of years At the meeting of the Ma
tional Officers and all Department
Commanders of the Legion at Wash
Jngton in mid December to confer
with the Government War Risk Insur-
ance Bureau, the Sweet Bill came up
for discussion. An entire day was
spent in analyzing and studying this
measure, it was approved and the ne
Nessity for its passage made so appar-
ent to the various Senators that it
was favorably acted upon the following
day.
The Department of Vermont, in COM
mon with all others, now has a War
Risk Officer, whose duties are primar-
lily to look after compensation and in
surance claims for disabled soldiers and
sailors, whether members of the Legion
or not In addition he is ready with
advice or information on the subjects
of bonuses, liberty bonds purchased
while in service, allotments, and so
forth. Mr.. E, w, Gibson of Brattle
boro has accepted the appointment as
War Risk Officer for the department
OF Vermont
During the month of January each
local post of the Legion elects its off
GERS for the coming year. Many of the
posts have already chosen their new
leaders.
The recent National Convention
provided for the creation of National
Americanism Commission "to endeavor
10 realize in the United States the
basic ideal of the American Legion of
100 per cent Americanism" Though
the commission is a small one of fif-
teen members, Vermont is one of the
states to be honored with the request
70 name a member. The Rev. Fraser
Metzger of Randolph has been ap-
pointed to sit on this commission as
