sippi District, Future Farmers of

ly concluded at McAdams. the Nc
Adams quintet met a stubborn foe
in Ethel but managed to register q
20 to 10 decision in the final clash
to annex first honors. Blaine col
lected II points for the losers, while
Sessums garnered s for the losers.
In other contests Ethel barely -
capped defeat at the hands of an ag-
gressive Holmes A. II. S. outfit in
registering a close 25 to % verdict.
Blaine was a real scoring threat fro
the victors by hitting the wicker for
IL tallies, while Doty bagged IL for
the vanquished.
The McAdams lads had an easy
time in turning back zama by a 81
to II tabulation as Moore sank II
markers and Ethel handed Sails a
10 to s beating to advance to the
deciding clash.

on fact. You have not heard of The American Legion being sued for libel and it would have been had we not had proof before we spoke
 Needed Reforms
 I came to Alaska with the in- tent of helping and assisting The American Legion to have the people of the Territory to accept certain needed child welfare legislation, to obtain new and improved juven- ile court law doing away with the arrest and conviction of needy chil- dren for no other crime than being needy; to obtain by legislation, pro- bation officers and welfare work CTS to aid in the rehabilitation of the child who, by either need or delinquency, have come into your courts, to obtain and put into oper- ation a system of care and treat ment for the malnourished children III V4lC lCiiAOOly, Io lul iiioll CyC glasses and optical treatment for those who need it. These things are needed, they are a necessity They can and should be granted by the Territorial Legislature and the Federal Government. The cost is so small when compared with the hU should ho the last consideration.
 All these things are a part of the great Child Welfare program of Tine American Legion Yes, they are part of a real American pro- gram, for the child of today is the citizen of tomorrow. To that citi- zen we must turn the control of government when our failing hands drop their earthly tasks.
 Years Numbered
 The American Legion cannot be a long-lived organization. When the last veteran of the World War answers the final assembly, The American Legion will cease to exist Our time is comparatively short. Therefore, a day in which we neg lect to impress upon our people that Child Welfare is future Ameri- can welfare-a day in which we do not sing sincere praise for our American life, liberty and free dom, is a day lost forever.
 Let's make our coming year one in which the million and a quarter members of The American Legion
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-09-03

they at no time enjoyed our full measure of liberty. Theirs is gone! England felt that the pleasures oi life were hers through heritage and it is only by the most severe sac rifice that they are holding on, nc one knows for low long.
 Let us make our Americanism real: let us make it live and have energy and being.
 While The American Legion does not ask that our Flag be made m idol of worship, nor our National Anthem a hymn of praise, we do ask that our Emblem and our An them be visibly appreciated.
 In the States which formed the Confederate States of America, a short 75 years ago the American Flag (the Stars and Stripes) was hated thing; and yet, today, no one, old or young, would permit that Flag to pass without uncover ing or public meeting to be held without the National Anthem The reason: Through suffering they have learned the value of Ameri- can democracy and American stan- dards of life
 SuDversive
 Being more or less detached from the busy marts of the eastern bor- der, the fiel1s and plains of the Central, West and even the Moun- tain States, one in the Territory, may pay but small attention to the growth of the subversive movements that have threatened American ideals. However, twice since I have been in Alaska I have overheard street conversations in which men have advocated the overthrow of our Government. And because these things are not brought close to you you feel perhaps that The Am erican Legion has been over jealous, at times, in it's fight against Com munism and other brother forms of totalitarian government. I place Communism, Naziism and Fascism all in the same class, for they all have the same aims and the same results. ask that you accept the word of the National Commander and the entire staff of our Ma tional group, that never has The American Legion made a charge against a group or individual that such charge has not been based

CAMPBELL BEARS GREETINGS FROM
 US. LEGI0NNAlRE5
Alaska Just as Important 10 Legion as Members
 in Biggest State
By MILT. ID. CAMPBELL Director of National Child Welfare Division, The American Legion

Special and most warm greetings to the Legionnaires of the De- partment of Alaska from your Mil lion and Eighth comrades in the States. I bring this message to you
 The American Legion is just as interested in the welfare of the thousand Legionnaires and theii fellow citizens of the Territory as they are of one hundred thousand Legionnaires and their fellow citi- zens of the State of New York, ol of any other State. We are all Americans and believe in Ameri- can principles and American stan- dards of life.
 And being Americans and having the blessings of the American form of government, we all toe often take for granted that those things are natural and permanent and can never disappear. We go our daily way with the full assur- ance that nothing can happen which will interfere with our liberties and freedom; that nothing will occur or could occur that would deprive us of the right of free speech and aSSemblage; that as long as we do not interfere with other nations and individuals our democracy is safe We casually pass by the American flag without the feeling that as an emblem of the great nation it rep resents, that we owe it homage beyond that ever paid to kings and emperorS; we see an orchestra take it's seat and start a concert or din- ner music and never ask why the program was not preceded by the National Anthem; in fact if the National Anthem is played, WIG good-naturedly complain of the necessity of arising In other words we take our liberty as a thing tc be expected and never lost.
 Attitude Shattered
 This, of course, is a false and un- real attitude Denmark, Norway Holland and France had more O, less the same attitude, even though
