POLISH PATRIOT
WRITES OF VISIT

Impressed by the great Industrial de
velopment, the cooperation in civic
life, and the boundless good fellowship
In America, Gen. Joseph Halter, noted
Polish patriot who was the guest of
the American Legion while in the
United States, has returned to his ma
tive land.
In letter to National Commander
John r. Quinn of the Legion, the
great Polish warrior said that his
pleasure in his visit was unbounded,
and was an experience that he would
always recall because of the associa-
ton with his former comrades of the
World war who had fought under the
American flag.
General Haller's visit began early
In October and continued until a few
days before Christmas. His tour
started with a visit to the White
House and visit to the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier at Arlington, across
the continent to San Francisco, where
he received highest honors at the
hands of the American Legion. AS
the official guest of the organization,
he was presented with the American
Legion's Distinguished Service Medal,
worn only by two Americans and by
but four others-Marshal Foch of
France, Admiral Beatty of England,
General Jacques of Belgium. General
Diaz of Italy.
Back across the nation with a party
Of representative Legion men, sped
the great Polish patriot, to visit nearly
fifty Of Americas greatest cities,
where he was greeted by members Of
that organization, Polish colonies and
many officials, statesmen and promi-
nent persona.
Before his departure, General Halter
expressed his deep satisfaction at the
outcome of the visit, and deeply
thanked the American Legion for the
opportunity to see the nation. He
said in his letter:
What has given me the greatest
pleasure has been the evidence on
every hand that the American soldier
who readily gave up his peaceful pur-
suits to don the uniform of his proud
country and help put down oppression
In Europe so quickly returned to the
Industrial and commercial occupations
following the signing of the armistice.
l have noted the happy homes, the
conteutment and the prosperity OF
those liberty-loving and unwarlike
lads. 1t has been constant inspira-
tiOn TO me The officers of the MANY
Legion posts, the officials of the or
ganization are all enshrined in my
heart"

Arkansas Legion to
Aid of City Schools

Broadening the scope of the COM
munity service program, members of
the American Legion auxiliary in Lit
tie Rock, Ark, are cooperating with
Affiliated School Improvement associa-
ton to bring about better school con-
ditiGns in that city.
Because school funds were low the
authorities made a ten per cent reduc-
ton in teachers salaries and planned
to close the schools earlier in the year.
Not daunted by the action, women
workers of the Legion and persons
interested in the city's schools, raised
funds with which to complete thirty
nine-weeks' term and pay the teachers
the full salary provided for in the
contracts. Members of the NJ. M.
Ebert unit of the American Legion
auxiliary and department officials of
the organization joined in the allied
movement.

Brifisher Anxious to
Be Legion Member

Harold Hall, veteran of the Brit
ish Royal engineers, who served on
every British battle front from Mons
to the Dardanelles, is looking forward
to acceptance of his application by the
American Legion. Hall was one of
the first to learn of the new ruling
made by the Legion at the fifth annual
convention, which permits those who
served with allied armies who were
at the time citizens of the United
States, or later became naturalized,
to affiliate with the Legion.
Hall is a resident of Minneapolis,
and applied for naturalization papers
following his arrival in that city in
January, 1923. His next step was to
make application for Legion member
ship, but was told that he would be
forced to wait until completion of nat
uralization requirements. He declares
that every American World war vet
eran should avail himself of the op.
portunity to affiliate with the Legion.

ATTACK
ON DIR. BOWLING
TO FORCE ISSUE
Health Officer Charges
That Statement Was
Jnau tlsorized

7
Ridiculous. unauthorized and utterly
without foundation" was the character
ization given Thursday night by DIR.
j. ID. Bowling to the statement at
tributed to Manager o. L. Bum of the
Chamber Of, Commerce, in which the
health officer was taken to task for
alleged failure to cooperate with the
dairymen of the city.
Intimating that health authorities
would take the matter up with the di-
rectors of the chamber, DIR. Bowling de-
clared that Bum had made SERIOUS
break" and had spoken for the chamber
in the face of the fact that that body
had taken no action of any kind. !
e 1.-THE language used by Mr.. Bunn,'
said DIR. Bowling, was evidently put
into his mouth by the handful of dairy
men who do not like to comply with the
law and who are alarmed at the rapid
progress jefferson county is making to-
wards dairy perfection
ssMr. Bunn's statement is ridiculous,
il he has been correctly quoted, but it
also is serious in a way. Moreover, it
is gronndless from start to finish. Most
of the dairymen are cooperating in a
splendid spirit, but just a few are re-
belling at the high standards we have
set"
DIR. Bowling said he would make a
detailed reply to, Mr.. Bunn's statement
Friday.
Mr.. Bum is quoted as saying that
after careful investigation he was "of
the opinion that the continually de-
creasing milk supply here is due to the
somewhat unfair methods used by DR..
Bowling in dealing with the dairymen1
The chamber manager was further
quoted as saying "Dr. Bowling viii
simply have to decide what is pure milk,
set standard and keep it there. The
dairymen never know where they stand,
because the standard is being changed
continually. Everybody wants Birming-
ham to have the pufest milk possible,
but. we cant be changing constantly and
expect to have any home milk supply
at all.
s'Dr. Bowling is always changing
the amount of bacteria there should
and should not be in pure milk, and
the dairymen tell me that is one of the
reasons they cannot continue in bust
ness.
And another they tell me and have
proven to me is reasonably true is that
DIR. Downing is continually having them
arrested for trivalities.
'Of course, we want pure milk and
we want to stand behind DIR. Bowling
in insisting upon it, but we must also
have fairness aud cooperation if we
want to keep tina, dairy industry from
baing disrupted here entirely"
