The AaIlowelI Citizens Legion Fund

In the course of year many calls
for charitable purposes or welfare
work come to the Frank +. Goodrich
Post of the American Legion, fact
that is not generally known to the
people of Hallowell, and the Post en-
deavours to meet as many of these
calls as possible. 1t has been handi-
capped in the past however, owing to
the fact that it has had no special
fund for this purpose and could not
use much of its regular funds for
other than running expenses.
Several Hallowell citizens being
cognizant of these demands are real
izing that as time went on these de-
mands would increase, following the
American Legion Endowment Drive
of a year ago, proceeded to establish
for the local Post a fund to be known
as the Hallowell Citizens Legion
fund. This fund is to be no part of
the Post funds and is under the dl-
rection of three trustees; two of
these trustees being members of the
Legion and the third a citizen of Hal
lowell who has never served in either
the Army or Navy. These trustees
are elected annually at the time of
the election of the Post officers.
der assistance to members of the
Frank +. Goodrich Post and the Aux
iliary by gifts, loans or in any way as
may seem advisable to the trustees,
and as necessity may demand. All
the dealings of the trustees will be
confidential and they will make a re-
port of gross amount to the Post an
nually after their accounts have been
duly audited.
At present this fund has not reach
ed an amount that is sufficient for a
working basis, and the members of
the Frank E. Goodrich Post and the
Auxiliary are going to use the local
poppy profits to the building up of
this fund.
This is matter that should appeal
to Hallowell citizens and encourage
them to buy the "officiaN peoples of
the Legion when they go on sale on
Wednesday of this week Every cent
of poppy money is for welfare work
and the final profit--the profits made
sn the local sale-will be devoted to
welfare work in Hallowell. to the as
sistance of those men or the members
of the families of those men who
served their country in it's hour of
need.
The message of every poppy is
BUY ME- stand for service. WEAR
ME- represent the sacrificial blood
Of the men who fell on Flanders
Fields. | am memorial of all who
died in service. In reverance and
understanding wear me,
