the construction of this comp ground
n that avery organization of the
CITY should get together in an en-
neaVor to fit up an appropriate sign
TO be placed on each road coming to
the CITY, directing tourists to the
camp site. Fl. E. Dunlap was elected

pointed from the Board of Trade.
Rotary and Lions Clubs to decide
upon the proper signs.
Officers and members OF the Post
at the meeting made reports of the
soldier welfare work that has been
done since the organization of the
POST. 1t was shown that the Post
had been instrumental in having al
los one-half million dollars Of War
Risk Insurance renewed and con-
verified: that close to $4,000 worth
OF Liberty bonds bought by soldiers
while In service had been secured;
that allotments and allowances to
soldiers dependents that had never
been paid had been collected; tina
several soldiers had been placed for
vocational training; that compensa-
ton had beer secured for at least
Is disabled ex-soldiers. 1t was also
shown that this work had scarcely
been touched upon and that there
are still hundreds of cases in the
county that should be attended to.
! 1t was the unanimous opinion of
the members hat a paid worker
should be kept in this county to
handle this work and with this idea
in view the securing of a Red Cross
Welfare worker was endorsed. 1t is

plish a great deal of good for ex-
service men as we'll as in other ways.

Gentlemen:-
Fred Duncan Post Of the American
Legion at its regular monthly meet
ing held this date unanimously pass
ed the following resolution:
Resolution.
WHEREAS. as time passes and
the results Of the World War be-
come more and more evident as 1t
is shown by the increased number
of veterans hat each week enter
government hospitals, receive COM
pensation and pass away, and
WHEREAS, aver since the organ
ization of this Post in January, 1920,
the officers have devoted a great
deal of their time in looking after de-
serving cases, in assisting in the
transfer of government insurance, in
securing compensation for disabled
men, in securing liberty bonds for
the men and in dozens of other ways
endeavoring to make contented citi-
zenS out OF discOntented ex-Service
g and
WHEREAS. but very few eX-serv-
ice men have the facilities and the
knowledge as to how this work can
be done which necessltates someone
always keeping up-to-date with gov
eminent regulations and depart
ments. and.
WHEREAS, the members OF this
Post believe that it is an injustice to
all eX-ServiCe men to expect four or
five men. themselves eX-seryice
men, to do this work at their own
expense and on their own time, and
also believe that with a paid worker
in this county whose duty it would
be to take care Of all matters per-
tanning to claims of ex-service men,
would be much better served.
THEREFORE BE 1T RESOLVED.
That Fred Duncan Post respectfully
] petition the Board of County Com
missioners Of Carbon county to ap-
propriate The sum of $50 per month
to partially pay the salary Of a Red
Cross Welfare worker in this county.
L. o. MOSS,
Vice Commander.
