Department Commander Edwin l..
Linden of the Minnesota American
Legion has started preliminary work
on the $50, 100000 drive. The
campaign is a nationwide project
of the Legion, whereby five millions
of dollars will be raised for the re-
lief of those disabled men who are
not receiving Government compensa-
ton and the orphans of men who
were killed in the war or who have
died since then.
Minnesota's quota will be about
$4,000. On the basis of popu-
lation of 1888, 542, this means
that every man, woman and child
could fill the quota if ten cents each
were subscribed. On the, basis of a
Legion population of 25,000--set-
ting the mark conservatively low
each Legionaire would be required
to donate or help raise in his com
munity about $3.50. On the same
basis each post of 100 members
would be asked to raise $500.
The campaign will be, launched in
Minnesota shortly after the Com
manders-Adjutants conference in
Minneapolis, April 3 and 4. National
Headquarters says of the drive:
1.-The great life work of the
American Legion, for the disabled
and for the children of service
men, for which it requires an en-
dowment backing of five million
dollars, would be necessary, right
and just if it were to cost FIVE
hundred millions. If it is neglect
ed it will throw back upon the
government or upon public or
private resources a vastly greater
task and vastly greater cost.
The Legion, with its special duty
to it's comrades, would do the Job
at any cost. Finding it practical
to sustain this nationwide pro-
gram on an income of relatively
small endowment, it asks for the
prompt provision of that endow-
ment during the coming few
months. 1t feels confident that it
need not beg for this need, but
that it can ask, knowing that all
who give will do so gladly and
proudly, thankful for the priv
ilege of sharing this responsibility
to those whose sacrifice to their
country was beyond money and
beyond price"
