LEGION EXTENDS GLAD HAND
Placing in Federal Position Member OF
Canadian Body One Example of
Comradeship.

The hand Of the American Legion is
always extended in fellowship to vet
Grams of the allied armies. In many
cases this is done in daily association
and in comradeship, and in Others In
actual aid and financial assistance for
the former comrades-at-arms.
T. T. Watson, a member of the Great
War Veterans Association of Canada,
is a firm believer in the friendlinesS Of
the Legion, according to recent letter
co T. G. Lapp, editor of the Veteran
the official publication of the Canadian
organization. This letter found its way
to National Adjt Lemuel Bolles Of the
American Legion and is an Illustration
of the splendid feeling existing be-
tween the organizations in the United
States and Canada. Watson wrote:
81 starved out in the Okangan valley
and came to the o. s. fiat broke.
"Went into the American Legion and
asked what was the chance for men,
ber of the G. w. V. A. to get job.
They said the chance was fine and I'M
til they found me job there was bed
and board and an advance in money.
Inside Of "A hours they placed me in
good U. S. federal job, where I still am
and likely to remain.
81 write this to show that the Ameri-
can Legion has the friendliest feeling
for all Canadian returned men. Their
motto is Every returned man a job
and they seem to be carrying 1t into
effect"
Watson made his application to the
Tacoma (Wash.) post of the Legion,
which placed him at work in local
hospital.

WHAT LEGION POSTS CAN DO
Essay Contests, Participated in by
Children, Bring Out Many Good
Suggestions.

Carrying out a national program of
activities in community affairs Ameri-
can Legion posts in many localities
are holding essay contests among
school children. The post at Monson,
Maine, recently held a contest among
children of the seventh and eighth
grades on the subject, "What the
American Legion Can Do to Better Our
Town" The winning essay, written
by Miss Anna Zimmerman, contains
suggestions which Legion national Off
cials believe worthy Of adoption by
other posts.
The essay, in part, follows:
1.-The erection Of a soldiers monu-
ment would keep alive in the minds
Of the small boys admiration Of
bravery and patriotism. This would
also make the town look better and
would show other towns that we had
contributed our share towards defeat
ing the Kaiser.
"Clean streets is another item Of
great Importance. The children could
be encouraged by the Legion to keep
the streets and sidewalks free from
all kinds Of waste matter.
another thing of Importance isl
public playground where children
Of all ages could go and play any
time that they wish to. This play
ground would require a supervisor to
keep the grounds in good condition
and to introduce proper play. This
would keep the children off the streets
and therefore there would be less
chance for accidents.
"a band stand would be a very
nice thing for the town to have. We
have very nice band, but there Is
no good place to play outdoors, while
If they had a band stand, they could
give concerts at least one night In
every week.
"a gymnasium would be of great
value to the young people of this
town. There Is no place where sports
can be enjoyed here, There could also
be public swimming place where
children could learn to swim.
among some OF Ine lnpOrtanC
things Is to have q good hall which
would add to the town a great deal,
as there Is no hall to have entertain
ments and socials given by the town
unless they use the halls owned by
private parties.
"The Legion men could open up the
quarries that are now out of work,
which would draw young men as well
as men with families to come here
and live.
"They could also help stimulate
Americanism among the people of Mon
son by example and by patriotic en-
tertainments."
