LEGION. PLANS FOR CARE
OF FORMER SERVICE MEN
Welfare officer Arranges to Gather
CASTOR Clothing for Use
This Winter.

Warned by previous experience of
existing conditions among ex-service
men during Winter months, Austin S.
Inirie, welfare officer of the District
of Columbia Department. American
Legion, is appointing committees in
every post and auxiliary of the Legion
to arrange for the gathering of cast-off
clothing for veterans use.
The clothing secured will be reno
waited and placed in a special storage
room for distribution among former
service men who arrive in Washington
this Winter without sufficient clothing.
THE necessity of this" Imirie said
was demonstrated during the past
Winter when veterans arrived in Wash
ington so thinly clad that they could
not have withstood the rigors of the
Winter weather for an hour. One man
came here in December wearing a sum-
mer suit and it is more than probable
that we will be confronted with similar
situations this year"
Family work in the Welfare Division
of the Legion, authorized by the Com
munity Chest has increased to such
an extent as to necessitate the appoint
ment of Mrs. Florence Lyons as as
sistant to Imirie. According to the
welfare officer more than 100 childre:,
whose fathers were service men are
being cared for. The need for this
work Is demonstrated by the fact that
only a small percentage of those being
assisted were listed as needing care
in the Social Service Exchange, Imir;e
said.
