AMERICAN
'LEGION
He IS REELECTED
OVER HIS PROTEST

Il. T. Armstrong, national vice COM
mander of the American Legion. is
Of the type Of men which believes in
getting things done. And he believes
that the way to get things done is,
forsooth, to go and do them.
1t is that driving power which has
carried him from commander of his
post to a reelection, to commander of
his department, to a reelection oyer
his protest, to a choice as national
vice commander of the Legion. Those
who have been closely associated with
him in his home department of Con-
necticut, who have seen him work and
observed the enthusiastic, compelling
way in which he works, say that
every LegiOnnaire in Connecticut
loves him.
In four years Of Legion work Arm
strong has given largely of his time
and energy and services to the cause
of lettering the lot of men who re-
turned from the war as physical
wrecks. After he had been drafted
as commander of Corporal post at
Waterbury in 1922, he made the care
Of the disabled his first concern. Con
ditions were bad then and were COM
plicated by serious unemployment.
With others, Armstrong helped to find
jobs for 1000 jobless veterans. He
found time in the midst of this ac-
tivity to make his post the largest In
the state.
Reelected, Armstrong organized a
Legion band. He started a post news
