New Commander Backs Endowment
In his first official move as head
of the Minnesota department Of the
American Legion, Commander Joe
O'Hara of Glencoe has urged all posts
of Minnesota to unite in one big last
minute drive to clean up the Endow-
ment campaign in this state before
October 1, when the drive will end.
The Commander has written an
open letter to all Legionaires of the
state urging them to do their utmost
toward raising the states quota, so
that Minnesota's record may stand
100 per cent at the national conven-
ton in Omaha, October 5 to 9, in
elusive. The letter is directed espec-
tally to all posts that have not al
ready completed their quotas.
Plans for the final drive were laid
the past week when Fred E. Bury of
National Headquarters, Indianapolis,
visited Minnesota state Legion head
quarters and consulted with Com
mander O'Hara and with Legion
leaders of the Twin Cities. Mr..
Bury is National Director of the Lee
gion Endowment Campaign.
r.
Department Sinking Fund Enlarged
Basing it's recommendations on
sound business policy, the Minnesota
Legion Finance committee took steps
to enlarge the department sinking
fund and otherwise safeguard depart
ment financee for the future. The
committee heartily endorsed the re-
commentator of Lloyd Lilygren of
ST. Paul, department treasurer, that
$4,000 be transferred from the depart
ment treasury to the sinking fund
this $4,000 being in addition to the
regular 81 900 which is transferred to
the sinking fund automatically each
year under the terms of the state con-
stitution.
Proposals that might set dangerous
precedents in expediture were turned
down. These included various re-
quests to defray the expenses of
bands and other musical and enter
tainment outfits wishing to represent
the department at the Omaha con-
vention. Although it was considered
a fine thing for the department to
send one or more of these organize
lions, already nationally famous, to
the convention, the Legionaires as
a whole agreed with the state finance
committee that it might set an unwise
precedent, and that now is the time
to fortify the organization against the
time when its members will not be so
financially prosperous. Among other
measures adopted by the convention
to reduce expenses is the printing of
official bulletins in the state paper
"The American Legionaire" - the
mailing of bulletins to post officers to
be discontinued, except in emergency
cases where quick action is essential.
