: Nassau County Convention

Extensive preparations are being
made for the third annual convention
OF the Legion of Nassau County to be
held on July 80. Roslyn's new war
memorial building will be the scene
of what is expected to be the largest
and most active Legion convention
held in the county.
Primarily, the purpose of this
gathering will be to elect delegates
and alternates to the state convention
at jamestown, N. Y, on September 20
and "a. and to adopt resolutions to be
presented by delegates at the state
convention, but there will be several
other features of interest. One will
probably be the competition for the
banner offered to the post which has
shown the most commendable activity.
Each post will submit report which
will be read by its representative. A
committee will then pass on all reports
and make its award. Last year the
prize was won by the James A. Lyons
Post, of Roslyn,

Instructions Given Veterans
on How to Hasten APP
plications for Bonuses
When Appeal Court Acts
Efforts to Get Members
Urged on All County
Groups by State t'P. c."
The New York County Committee
meets tonight at the Hotel Penn
sylvania. All posts are urged to send
their delegates.

In response to scores of queries by
veterans who ask to be told the status
OF the state bonus, department. head
quarters has issued bulletin explain
Ing the situation.
"The directors Of the Soldiers
Bonus Bureau in Albany" the depart
ment bulletin says, "have notified
state headquarters that the Court of
Appeals has adjourned without hand
ing down an opinion on the constitu-
tionality of the bonus. The court is
not expected to reconvene until August
81 and bonus blanks will not be dis
tributed until this ruling is given.
"Posts should endeavor to obtain
certified copies of discharges of mem
bers. holding these in file until the
bonus applications are distributed.
This preliminary work will save time
In filing the applications.
POSTS should encourage non-mem-
bers to file with the post adjutant GER
titled copies of their discharges for
similar reasons. All such men should
be urged to join the Legion.
DO not forget to arrange to take
care of the wounded and disabled in
the hospitals. They will be given the
preference when payments are made"
Prepare for Convention
Stae headquarters also asks that
convention calls for county conferences
be sent in without delay. It is be-
lieved by the Legion's executive Of
flcers that, if Legionnaires try hard in
the every member-get- cam
paign, this state will go to the ma
tional convention with 100 or more
delegates, thus maintaining its suprem-
acy numerically.
Employment Problem Grows
1t is suggested by headquarters that
each post Immediately choose an en-
plcyment officer, whose duty it shall
be to try to find work for iobless
veterans through a scouting COM
mittee."
There are 225 AIxiliaries in the de-
partment now and Miss Ray Sawyer,
the department organizer, urges ali
posts to form such units. 1t is likely
that an auxiliary caucus will be held
in Kansas City at the time of the
Legion convention, and New York is
striving to lead in this regard, as we'll
