National Legion Notes

Although heirs of deceased World
War veterans in Pennsylvania are en-
Titled to state bonuses, comparatively
few OF them have taken the initial
steps toward obtaining them. This is
true also in other states where state
bonuses have been voted for service
men, according to information re-
eeived at National Legion Headquarters
In Indianapolis. Heirs of World War
veterans who died in service, or who
have died since, living in states where
bonus las been given, should make
Investigations as to where applications
for deserved compensation are to be
sent.
