Gang marched down Kansas City
streets in the great parade. The

Where do Minnesota's $50 Legion
Auxiliary Units come in? What do
they do to help the men of the Lee
gion? 1t would be easier to tell
of the few things they don't do.
In Minnesota their first great aim
has been to bring the loving touch
of womanhood to the bedside of our
crippled boys in hospital, to make
for them many things that help
brighten the dark days of hospital
life. So long as single buddy re-
mains in hospital, that will be the
Minnesota Legion Auxiliary's first
aim. But they are also on the job
to provide social entertainment for
Minnesota Legionaires and their
friends, including dances, beach par
ties, concerts, lectures, dramatics,
and little suppers not only for the
post members but for disabled COM
rades. Every week, the Legion Aux
ilary Units of Minnesota are show
ing in some new way their thought
full regard for their boys of the Lee
gion.
