! Impressions, as the result of his trip ::
These he catalogued as first, dis
| tinct Improvement in the deliberations
and personnel; second, one type or
American citizen found in each state,
! and third, general enthusiasm toward
| educational work and community Serv-
| ice, which, of course, includes the prop
er care of disabled veterans.
The crowds looked the same" he
said. The men acted the same. There
is distinct type, these LegionnaireS.
They look one in the eye. They are
keen and outspoken, self-conhdent.
They constitute the ideal type of an
American citizen"
In speaking Of the Improvement in
delegations TO the state conventions,
care was taken To explain that sub
jects were more clearly defined than
in the past, the committees stepped
forward with their work in more con-
fidence, the machinery ran smoother,
and altogether capable leadership was
asserting itself, more and more.
An illustration was given:
'In two states factional fights had
been waged," the national adjutant
said. "They threatened to split the
departments, but those fights never got
to the floor of the convention. The
trouble was ironed out in conferences.
Leaders made concessions, all for the
general welfare and progress Of the
legion.
"The spirit of the elections was not
the best fellow, but the best man..
and this keynote was struck In each
Of the five conventions"
There is no question but what the
Legion is more efficient today in Min
nesota, Washington, California, Col
orado and Kansas than it was year
ago." he said.
Paying tribute to the Kansas de-
rartment, he told of the American
Legion there taking keen interest in
the boys of the state Industrial school,
acting as guardians and big brothers.
Il was impressed by the indepen-
dence of the Minnesota Legion" he
said. "They never have taken a dol
lar from any source. Their depart
ment is splendidly organized. They
are capable of making their own way
without outside aid, and they are do
ing it with a vim"
Soldier settlement work is a vital
program for the legion in the states
of Washington and California, along
with better citizenship and education
al movements, such as night schools.
The determination of the Colorado |
legion to see that the hospitals for
former service men in that country are |
properly maintained was outstanding, |
also the Legion's declaration that the |
benefits of that department be confined |
to American Legion members only |
and to the disabled, always.
