Eighty thousand questionnaires
were sent out from state American
Legion headquarters this week for the
statewide service census in which
every veteran of the World war will
be canvassed. The census starts
March 20.
Organization fort the service drive is
now being perfected. The eight dis
trict committeeman will be directly
responsible for results. 1t is probable,
according to Adjutant Frank Samuel,
that chairmen will be named for each
county. Each post will have supervi-
sion over the canvass in its particular
territory. Women of the American
Legion Auxiliary will assist the Le-
gionnaires.
The purpose of the census is to en-
able the Legion to render greater serv-
ice. The blank which all ex-service
men will be asked to fill out asks
questions about compensation. insur-
ance, medals and other rights and
privileges The Legion will offer its
aid to make needed adjustments.
Each QUESTIONABLE will have a
blank attached on which the ex-serv-
ice man may make application for
membership in the American Legion.
The person canvassed will be asked
to become Legion member because
of the possible benefits to him.
The service census plan was first
worked out in Iowa last year when
Hanford MacNider. now national COM
mander. was state commander. 1t
proved SO successful. according to Lee
gion officials. that the plan was
adopted for use nationally
