LOCAL UNIT HELPS

"The American Legion Auxiliary of
Wisconsin is making preparations to
remember every i'll ex-service man of
the state at Christmas time, whether
he is hospitalized in Wisconsin or in
any other state in the union," says
Mrs. May Mahoney, president of the
local organization Of the American
Legion Auxiliary, in discussing the
work of the Auxiliary and the desire
of the society to increase it's member
ship to include every woman who is
eligible.
"The three great hospitals in the
state where men who served in the
world war are cared for, National
Home, Milwaukee, Resthaven at Wau-
kesha and Psychiatric or Memorial
Hospital at Mendoza, are each to have

and sparkle it is possible to provide,

"A real Christmas COX containing
candy, sailed nuts, gift and other
items, wrapped in the true Christ
masy' style and containing person
al greeting from the American Legion
Auxiliary is to be sent every Wis
consin man whether he is in hos
pital in Maine or in Florida
"The fund which right now is be-
ing collected from the Auxiliary or
CARNATIONS in the state for this pur-
pose is called the Christmas Cheer
fund. The local unit has sent ia its
check for S25 to the fund.-" said Mrs.
Mahoney.
The task of raising enough money
to remember every i'll ex-service man
has reached such great proportions
that the Legion has generously offered
to share in the expense.

American Legion Auxiliary carries on
every day in the yesr. Providing
bath-robes, sleeping caps, bed slip
pers, reading lamps, various amuse-
ments and games, victrolas and

are just a few of the things which
the Auxiliary purchases for the hos

is not hospitalized by loaning him
money without interest when he is in
