D. A. v. National Leader
Praises Legion Ideals

Explaining that the Disabled
American Veterans of The World
War, of which he is National Com
mander, is a one-purpose organi-
cation (welfare of disabled), John
v. Clinnin, addressing 1000 Min
nesota Legionaires at their recent
Spring Conference Banquet in
Minneapolis, described The Amer
lean Legion as "The great patri-
otto organization which will take
the place of The Grand Army of
The Republic, and declared:
''The former world war veteran
who does not unite with The Am
erican Legion in defence of the
rights of his $4,000 disabled
comrades, is just as much of a
Stacker as the man who refused to
fight shoulder to shoulder with
those buldies in 1917 and 1918.
The time is approaching when ev-
cry world war veteran will be en-
rolled within The American Leg
ion, before which stretches 60
years of service to country and
comrades as the great patriotic
organization of our nation"

Hurley of Pine City who as Min
nesota Legion Americanism Direc-
tor, declared the Legion preamble

WEAVING and not flag waving
constitutes real Americanism. ***
"Americanism is life in this MAJ
ton, the friendships, the honesty,
the good fellowship, the wish to
help one another, to learn from
one another. 1t is typifed in this
Legion Spring Conference to
which you have come from every
section of Minnesota, that you
may return with ideas for the bet
terment of your home towns. Aid
ing education, boy scouts, boys
baseball, welcoming new citizens,
helping the home town, promot-
ing peace at home and abroad
these are phases of our Legion
program of Americanism. When
man fails to salute passing col
ors, educate him kindly instead of
publicly reprimanding him; and
in this connection, nothing will
help more than having your local

Legion Lays Sound
Finance Foundation

Year by year The American Lee
gion of Minnesota regularly lays
1000 in a reserve fund; and in
addition has been able to save odd
sums until the combined depart
ment nest egg contains $11,791-
about nine years after the Armis-
tice. That was the report of the
Chairman Jerry Barron of Cloqute
to the Minneapolis Legion confer
ence April 80. By a similar plan
enough money is annually set
aside for national delegates trips
to conventions, so that the long
haul to Paris, France, will be
cared for. When the trip is short,
as to Omaha, the difference is
saved for the long haul-bound to
come later. Minnesota Legion
finances are in a sounder condi-
ton than amy state, Chairman
Barron assured.
