CONGRESSMAN
AIDS BLIND
VETS
Allen F. Moore, Of illinois,
Makes First Contribution
To Their Fund.

Receipt Of the first contribution
to fund to establish and maintain
p national club house for blinded
ex-service men has been announced
by Raymond e. Day, national COM
mander Of the United States Blind
Veterans Of the World War. The
contribution, according to Com
mander Day, was received from
Congressman Allen F. Moore, Re-
publican, Of Illinois.
Congressman Moore not only has
made, the initial contribution to the
movement but he has given 1t his
cordial Endorsement and has an
nounced that he will sponsor legis-
lation to make possible q perma-
nent training school on the site Of
the present temporary school at
Evergreen School for the Blind, in
Baltimore. The legislation Is be.
ing developed by the United States
Blind Veterans Of the World War
and will carry provision enabling
the unit to be maintained to ca
pacity by the entrance Of civilian
blind should the number Of blinded
ex-service men become insufficient.
1.-THE United States Blind Veterans
Of the World War is an organiza.
ton Of ex-service men who gave
their eyes to their country" de-
clared Congressman Moore. II can
think of no set Of men who have
ever made or could make a greater
sacrifice for their country. Surely
everyone with the power to see will
give this movement cordial and en-
thusiastic support.
Purpose of Club House.
1.-THE boys plan the creation Of
permanent training school at
Baltimore. This they hope to &C.
complish by Congressional legis-
lation. The fund which is to be
raised by subscription will go to the
erection Of a club house in close
proximity to the school. This club
will provide home for blind vet
Grams who may be unprovided for
and will insure congenial surround
inges for those at the school. It
affords an opportunity for this
group of ex-service men to mingle
together and work out their prob
lens together. They are entitled to
every consideration and it is for
those who have suffered so little
as compared to them to see that it
Is accorded them"
Recently Congressman and Mrs.
Moore presented the community in
which they live, Monticello, ILL.,, with
$125,O0O for the erection Of a gym
nasium for the use Of the boys and
girls attending the local high school.
Architects are at work developing
the plans for the erection of the
building at this time.
Wouldn't Admit Defeat.
In business life, Congressman
Moore is manufacturer and
banker. Twenty-Five years ago he
purchased falling proprietary
! medicine business in his home
town. He struggled with it for
several years, making little head
way. All of his own money was
thrown into the battle. He bor-
rowed to the utmost. Failure
stared him in the face. but he
fought on. Friend after friend who
had cheered him in his efforts
dropped by the wayside. Still Mr..
Moore deter1ninedly kept at it. He
