Four Minnesota Posts Are Nation
ally Cited
Because above all their 1927
aims, Service to the Community
stands supreme on the program of
each American Legion post, by
mandate of the Philadelphia ma
tional convention, Commander
Howard Savage each week cites
about twenty posts throughout
America for some outstanding SER
vice to the home town.
These citations are published in
the official department publications
of the organization, and copies are
mailed the newspapers of the home
towns cited. The Minnesota Amer
lean Legionaires, official Gopher
paper which circulates in every
home town of the North Star State,
carries these citations weekly.
In the two weekly honor rolls
thus far issued, two Minnesota
posts have been cited each week.
Heron Lake and Redwood Falls Le-
gionaires were cited the first week,
the former for building and sup
cruising a skating rink for school
children and the latter for assist
| ing the Commercial Club
purchase AZ additional acres for
Ramsey State Park, and complet-
ing a fund for the erection of a
community bathhouse.
Ashby Minnesota and Giantval-
ley Post of Minneapolis were hon.
ored on the second roll call, the
former for installing guide boards
along the route of Federal High
way No. 10 through Ashby, other
wise unmarked Giantvalley Post
for sponsoring amateur athletics
by organizing and conducting a
six-team basketball league, a four
team hockey league, two four
team diamond ball leagues, and a
four-team baseball league.
The name of the post command
er is broadcast in connection with
his posts achievements. Dan Sow
ers, Legion National Community
Service Director at Indianapolis,
is anxious to learn of the achieve
ments of every Minnesota Legion
post, that they may be held up as
examples to the 1900 Legion
/ posts of the nation.
Legion Congressional District Di-
| rectors Of Athletics Being Named
Already the Gopher Legion base

rumors of the spring and summer
campaigns. Last year saw the
initial launching Of the Legion

ically for 1927, with DR.. Ben

Director Of Legion Athletics.

was to secure appointment Of con-

men, who named by the district
commanders, and who help DIR.
Saunders check the far-fung Min
nesota territory, encouraging each
/ of Minnesota's 500 posts to spon-
sor or assist boys base ball, and
athletics in general.
Each post in turn has an ath-
letic director of its own. Among
seasonal competitions being fos-
tered are Spring: Baseball, track

balls, tennis, golf, swimming. Fall
volley ball, football, soccer. Whit
err: basketball, bowling, handball,
boxing, wrestling.
The aim is to promote sports for
their value to the players rather
than for the amusement of spec
tators; in short, to enroll more boys
in healthy sports, at the same time
keeping Legionaires busy on wortl
while activities. Posts are urged
not to inaugurate athletic pro-
grams at the expense of ether
worthwhile boys projects such as
scouting, boys bands, boys clubs,

Legion Is Helping Renew
Insurance
The American Legion makes no
distinction as to race, class or creed
so long as it's members honorably
served Old Glory. When it comes
to rendering service to the men
who served the IL 900 Legion posts
of the nation make no distinction
as to whether that man is or is
not Legionaire. If he served Old
Glory, the American Legion wants
to serve him. Some day his Lee
gion buddies hope to have the
strength his membership will add
to their organization.
So today as time is flying, and
veterans of the World War, con-
sidering how quickly seven years
have flown since the Armistice,
then contemplating how fast the
next five months will disappear and
with them the chance to reinstate
(and convert) war time insurance
as each buddy thinks thus and
wonders how to reinstate and
where, he'll be glad to know that
whether or not he is a Legionaire,
any American Legion post will
gladly help him complete the ne
cessary papers which they have
available for that purpose.
National Commander Howard
Savage and Rufus R. Rand, Min
nesota Legion leader, have written
each post leader as follows: GAS
commander you want your posts
serve the veterans of your terri
tory, because service is the rock
on which the Legion stands. Which
ever officer your post makes re-
sponsible for this work should be
ready with insurance information
and application blanks when the
rush to reinstate begins. Help
each buddy, regardless of whether
or not he is a Legion member"

Three Months Snow Fall Gives
State 20 Inch Blanket-Gas
Pays Removal Bill

The Minnesota Highway depart
ment spent $4,000 for snow re-
moval in January, February and
March, 1926, $31, 900 in Novem-
Der and $4,000 in December.
With $4,000 spent for snow
fence, this makes a total of $685.
900 for snow fighting during 1926,
with the snow removal costs al
most as great in December as the
total for the rest of the year.
This includes only major oper-
atoms, by trucks and tractors, and
materials and supplies. It does
not include the work done by. the
regular patrolmen. Their per
diem for November amounted to
$4,000 and may reach this
amount for December when all
accounts are in. Not all of their
work, however, was snow removal,
as much of their time in November
was devoted to smoothing the road
surface, cleaning bitches and Gull
verts and other work in prepare
ton for winter.
The total snow fighting bill fol-

figure would be only a guess be-
cause no one can foretell weather
conditions for the remainder of
