the Department Staff of the Veterans

assisted them in forming the nue.
leus of what promises to be very
active Post of the V. F. W., head
quarters of which will probably be

erans' organizations principally in
the fact that only those men who
saw service outside the Continental
limits of the U. S., during Nation
al emergency are eligible to mem
bership. 1t is sometimes referred
to as the "Gold Stripe Organization"
and its insignia is the Gross of
Malta. The V. F. W., is fighting
for the repeal of the National Eco
nomy Act and for the immediate
payment of the Bonus.
The Charter of this new Post will
be held open for short time to ac-
comodate any overseas veterans
who would like to "sign up and be
in at the beginning or in other words
charter members. The Initiation,
or Charter fee is $500 which must
accompany the application. The
dues are 25c per month, payable
quarterly or in full, as you like. If
interested get in touch with Newton
Rendfrey, Acting Quartermaster, at
Redden, Della, or the undersigned.
Come on, climb aboard! You will
meet comrades who have fought un-
der the Stars and Stripes all over
the world.-Frank C. Baughman,
