They danced and Celia carried
her head very proudly. She laugh

came from somewhere and asked
her 70 dance with him. Brooks was
an expert at the tango. He showed
her some of the steps and Celia,
though she was slow at learning,
was laughing and her cheeks were
flushed when az last she gave up
the attempt.
Tod Jordan stepped beside her.

Admiral Moffetts suggestion that the United States
share its helium gas with other nations. 50 that d.
rigibles overseas can have the safety features which
previously have been exclusively American. sounds
like q very good idea.
Helium can be produced in quantity only IN the
United States, and the law now forbids its export.
However. the supply here seems to be great enough
so that we could spare all that is needed overseas
and except in war time 1t is hard TO see how there
could be any objection to such a step.
Here would be a humanitarian act; 1t would also be
valuable as a goodwill" gesture. 1t is to be hoped
that the government will give the admirals sugges-
ton full consideration.

Social Events
Colonies and the Revolving Fun


In 1928 a group of men, receiv-
ing rehabilitation in teamwork had
taken land in different parts of
the state. In this year there was
considerable unrest and distress in
these colonies as there was a great
scarcity of milk which was very es-
sential to the diet of these men,
ing from T. B. The Mankato unit
contributed $200.00t to be applied
on cows for the more destitute. At
the Faribault convention it was re-
solved to establish a Revolving
Fund, for the purpose of loaning
money without interest to men on
farms. The money to be returned
in small amounts and as the pay
ments came in they were loaned
again thus causing the fund to
"revolve."
The man is required to sign a
note which states that the stock
belongs to the American Legion
Auxiliary until paid for. This
stock cannot be mortgaged and
may not be attached for debts by
others. All loans are thoroughly
investigated before made, and
about $4,000 have revoleed in this
fund.
Most of the men invest in COWS
because it is practically an all year
producer and enables the man to
make monthly payments without
undue hardships.
No branch of the Auxiliary work
has been more productive of real
good to the struggling service man
than this.
The Revolving Fund, conceived
by Helen Hughes, Hielscher, has
brought relief and greatly improv-
ed living conditions of the dis
abled man and his family, although
Mrs. L. l.. Gibbard's, chairman, re-
port shows circumstances are far
from pleasant. One and two room
"shacks," bleak and cherries walls,
bare floors in a not too inviting
country.
Veteransville, Silver Lake, Mac
Grath, Onamia, Moose Lake and
other colonies are located in the
territory north Of Milaca and east
OF Aitkin.
A little letter sent out by Mrs.
L. Gibbon, brought $50 boxes of
clothing and bedding and toys to
many families of Service men. In
discussing the happiness spread at
Christmas time, Mrs. Gibbon said,
among other things in a recent is
sue of the Minnesota Legionaire:
I could go on indefinitely
quoting from letters I have re-
ceived but space will not per-
NIT. cannot refrain from men,
tioning the tragedy that came
to one of our colony families
this Christmas. The eldest
child, the only girl in fam
lily of seven, died with pneu-
monia Christmas Eve, and on
Dec. 81 the mother was taken
with the same disease, leaving
the father with six little boys,
in great need.
To Sank Centre unit I con-
vey the thanks of this dying
mother for the wonderful box
of clothing and good cheer.
Just few days before she was
taken away she said, what
beautiful things we got came
from the Sank Centre unit!
Ask Mrs. Gibbon to thank them
for me"
am sure members of Sank
Centre unit are happy that they
made this mother happy, and
that their efforts were appre-
ciated. This will spur them on
to new efforts on behalf of our
disabled. This instance alone
should be worth our member
ship in The American Legion
Auxiliary for life; knowing that
we are assisting our disabled.
