| In every city, town, and hamlet IN
| the United States, March 20 will mark
the beginning of q concentrated effort
to find work for unemployed ex-serviee
men. according to plans now being
mapped out by the American Legion.
On that day local civic. fraternal, ana
welfare organizations and prominent
business men and employers will be
called upon by Legion posts to unite
in systematic drive against unem-
ployment and to set wheels moving
which will provide jobs for the T00-
900 men now idle.
Heads of such organizations as the
Knights of Columbus, the Rotary Club,
the Elks, Jewish Welfare, and the T..
s. Chamber of Commerce have already
been asked to cooperate and to trans
NIT the plan of action to their local
units. Governors of states and may
ors of cities have been asked to set
aside March 90 as Employment Day.
Employers will be urged to distrib
ute their work by changing men on
shifts, civic authorities will be urged
to speed up community projects such
as road repair and bridge building
Legion IS contemplating clubhouses

ploy ez- soldiers, town will be urged to
start community truck gardens, anu

Farmers viii be placed on employment
committees. and service men win be
utilized in the planting of spring crops.
The Legion has adopted the slogan
Every community will care for its
own--if yau want a job, go home and
the home folks Will care for you"
Cities will be divided into regions,
each under its own post and employ
ment committee with general COM
mittee coordinating the efforts of all.
