NAMEDl
BY HELEG|QN
To be Chairman of State Or
ganization Membership
Committee

The executive committee OF the
Department of New Jersey, Amerl-
can Legion, met for the first time
under the leadership of the new
state commander, Bruce Condor, at
Trenton last Saturday afternoon.
The most important appointment
of the meeting was the selecting OF
Raymond White, past county COM
mander, to the office of chairman OF
the membership committee. Legion
members has dropped in 1920 from
23,027 to 21,364 and at the end Of
1921. From 1921 to date the mem
bership is 1879. The depression
in the state membership in the le-
gion is due mainly to financial de-
preston. and the greatest work OF
the American Legion today, outside
of the service rendered to the dis
abled servicemen, is that of building
UP membership. Every effort will be
made by State Commander Condor
to bring the membership up TO 30,-
900 before the end of 1923. And in
order that someone who Is capable
of holding the position is put at its
head, State Commander has given
this most important appointment,
outside of adjutant, to Middlesex
county, where Mr.. White, whose
work for the American Legion has
been untiring.
The other appointments made by
the department commander by the
Executive committee follow:
Fred Dawson, adjutant Joseph D.
Shears, chairman of the depart
ment legislative committee; Eugene
Patterson, chairman of the hospi-
talization committee, and Robert
Shields, athletic officer of the state.
The chairman Of the organization
committee will be appointed later
from one of the South Jersey our
ties.
The state commander declared
the office of service officer vacant
on the ground that the lack Of
funds prevented its continuance,
and made fight against 1t saying
the American Legion could not af-
ford to cease it's service work and
leave 1000 claims now pending in
that office without efficient handling
Of these 1000 disabled, they would
be unable to take care of their own
claims, and press ther rights under
the various laws made for their pro-
lection. A committee was then
named to recommend some means
of carrying on this work. other than
service officer, until such time as
that committee reports that the Of
fee Of service officer should con-
tinue.
