What we need more in the world
today is less talking and more honest
to-goodness working. This applies
to the activities Of the American Le-
gion as well as to all other organiza-
tons. It's easy enough to hand out
a lot of wind, a liberal assortment of
views and opinions, but the kind of
stuff that counts everywhere is the
stuff the boys showed over in France
when they rolled up their sleeves and
tackled a job that none of them rel
ished any too well.
Commander Appelgren will be alb
sent from the city the balance of the
month. He took the Shrine at Helena
the early part of the week and from
there planned on a visit to Seattle
just to see the old place and shake
hands with the beaus of a day gone
by.
E. Y. Poore attended a meeting of
the Executive Committee of the
State the early part of theWeek. He
may have something interesting to
tell later On. Be on hand to hear all
about it.
Quite a representative bunch at
tended the dance given by the Pop
lar Post a week ago. They report
some wonderful music, all but the
noise of a broken wheel and a trip
by foot back to the place where
wheels grow.
A big meeting of all the represen-
tatives of posts along the main line
is to be held at Glasgow Wednesday
evening to plan and arrange for
baseball for the coming season. All
the posts seem alive to the PROPOSE
ton of a Legion baseball league and
something definite can be looked for
as a result of this meeting.
Be on hand at the next meeting
and hear what the big meeting at
Glasgow decided on. Let's put the
town on the baseball map again, even
if we have not money enough to pay
a lot of semi-professional players.
We can put on an article of ball
that anyone ought to be glad 20 take
a slant at. And we are the boys that
can do it,
Play Ball /,
The men who went to Glasgow TO
see the travelling case board of the
Vocational Training department
surely were treated fine by the Glas-
gov boys. They all have a few nice
things to say about the way the
the town and the Legionairres
handled them. Here's how to our
up the line.
Many of the boys did not have
their cases acted on definitely by the
case board and seem somewhat dis
couraged with the results of their
visit at Glasgow. Seems that the
board had more work than they could
very well care for, and that may have
been responsible for many things
hat seemed to be lacking in the
work of the board.
We met a fellow the other day who
had a cracked knee cap as a result
of service in the army. He was Of
fered a rating for compensation but
refused. Poor policy, BIO, for there
may come a day when compensation
mean a whole lot more than
happens to be the case right now.
Plan for the future and that is the
part of wisdom.
Who is going to interest himself
in the case of the ~ex-service man if
the buddies of a few years gone by
show no interest? The American Lee
gion is dedicated to the proposition
of getting a square deal for the
wounded and disabled men. If for
that reason, and no other, it should
itself to the intelligent in
terest of every man who was in the
service.
The only way the post can ever
amount to anything is when every
member is interested, and shows his
interest, in the affairs of the post
and the Legion in general. Turn on
the searchlight.
