LEGION EXTENDS GLAD HAND
Placing in Federal Position Member Of
Canadian Body One Example Of
conradeship.

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 a recent letter
to 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 g. S. fiat broke.
"Went into the American Legion and
asked what was the chance for a men,
Der of the G. w. Y. 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 a
good q. S. federal job, where I still am
and likely to remain.
II write this to show that the Ameri-
can Legion has the friendliest feeling
for all Canadian returned men. Their
motto is Every returned man job
and they seem to be carrying it 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 b
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 contest among
children of the seventh and eighth
grades on the subject, what the
American Legion Can Do to Better Our
Flown" The winning essay, written
by Miss Anna Zimmerman, contains
suggestions which Legion national Off
Gals believe worthy of adoption by
other posts.
The essay, in part, follows:
'sThe erection of 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 isf
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
a,d &o ;xo%rod,,oa 1,,-ovaar NAV TN 10
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 a very nice band, but there is
no good place to play outdoors, while
IL 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 a public swimming place where
children could learn to swim.
Among some Of the important
things is to have a 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."

FROM CONVICT TO coL0NELcY
American Legion Acts TO Obtain Par.
don for Man Who Made Record
in British Army.

Kenneth F. Thomas had been con-
victed and was serving term in a
Virginia penitentiary on "a charge of
bigamy at the time Of the outbreak
of the World war. While employed in
one of the prison farm projects he
escaped, made his way up to Canada,
where he enlisted and was soon in
active service.
He established a splendid war rec
ord, reaching colonelcy before dis
charge. During this time he kept the
Virginia authorities informed of his
movements, and promised that he
would return and serve out his term
as soon as the war was over.
Recently the man returned TO Rich
mond and declared that he was ready
to complete his prison term. admitting
his identity. and acknowledging his
war record. Delay in return. it is
said, was due to the fact that for two
years he has been in a hospital recov-
ering from the effect of wounds.
His splendid record for bravery and
attention to duty won high esteem Of
the British army officials. The Ameri-
can Legion has taken up the fight to
obtain pardon or parole for the man.
and the case has been presented to
the governor of Virginia by interested
Legionnaires.

ports of the court. Out of BAT former
service men who appeared before
Judge Cotter, only six or seven re-
appeared in his court to answer
charges for violation Of the statutes.
The plan has been adopted in every
police court in the city of Detroit.
At the time of the instigation of the
probation system Detroit was filed
with bolshevistic propaganda, and the
success of the Legion system indicates
the turning point Of many former sol
diers from disregard of law and order
to a high respect for the laws au-
thority.

GREATER RESPECT FOR LAW
Legion Probation Plan Saves Many De,
troit Ex-Service Men From Stigma
Of Prison Terms.

Judge Thomas M. Cotter Of the Re
corder's court of Detroit. Mich, act
ing on suggestion of the American Lee
gion, has successfully put into opera
ton probation plan, which has in
stilled in the minds Of many former
service men high regard for the au-
thority of the law
The system was suggested in 1919,
following discharge from military serv-
ice of many thousands of men, of
whom some were forced to appear In
police court on minor charges Of mis-
demeanors. Under the plan inaugu-
rated many of these men were spared
the stigma of prison sentence, due
to far-sighted policy instigated by
Judge Cotter.
Only the word Of the man himself,
with promise to be a better citizen,
and the word from some American Lee
gion official is necessary to save the
man from sentence. The plan works
remarkably well, according to the re-

Roy M. Hancock Among Missing.

Diligent search is being made for
Roy NJ. Hancock, formerly a private
In the Motor Transport Corps of the
army, a World war veteran Mrs Hat
tie Hancock Of Chattanooga, Tenn,
waited in vain for word from her son
following the war. Government Of
f1cials had him classified as a deserter.
Early in April Mrs. Hancock received
word from the state hospital for the
insane at Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
that her son was a patient in that in
stitution. On the heels of this infor-
nation came word that he had escaped
and no trace has been found of him
since that time. Hancock is twenty
eight, five feet nine inches in height,
dark hair, and has horseshoe tat
tooed on his right arm below his ell
bow. In the emblem are the words
"Good Luck" Following the govern
ment's discovery that the manlwas a
mental patient and not deserter, he
was given an honorable discharge.
