LEGION
SIDELITES
by JULIUS E. HILL



With as many ex-servicemen in
Omaha as there are, Roosevelt Post
is not going out on a limb in try
ing to obtain a membership of five
hundred for 1914. 1t should be an
easy matter.
With the Post going ahead now
as it has eve done before it is
hard to understand why any ex-
serviceman would not want to be
a part and play a part in it's pro
gress.
Some years ago there might have
been a justifiable reason for serv-
icemen refusing to become a mem
Der of the Legion, but some years
ago isn't now. Conditions have
: changed for the better. Men are
at the head of the organization
who have for their slogan: PRO
GRESS AND MORE PROGRESS.
And the only way in which pro
gress can be made is by fair deal
ing all around.
That is what the Post is getting
now and will continue to get.
Roosevelt Post No. 80, The Am
erican Legion, wants a member
ship of five hundred-FIVE HUN
DRIED, we say and don't mean one
member less but of course, as
many nor as possible. You cx-
~servicemen who are not members
get together and do something a.
bout it. You are needed conrad
es, and best of all WANTED as
members. And there isn't a darn
n Of you who doesn't now how
to become a member or be rein
stated without a whole lot Of fuss
and bother. That's right-come
up and e us some time with just
THREE BUCKS, and forever there
after be happy and glad that you
| did.

The season of 1939-4O saw Miss

appearing in more than seventy
cities to give ninety-two concerts
between November and June. Five
of these were in Carnegie Hall in
New York. Following this, she
sailed on her first visit to Hawaii
for a series Of recitals, and return
ed to the United States in time to
sing at the larger stadium in the,
East, such as New York's Lewis
ohm Stadium and Philadelphia's
Robin Hood Dell.
A sign of how deeply this great
woman and singer has become
rooted in the lives of her audienc-
es is that twenty-six clubs have
sprung up through the country
which use her name as their title.
In addition to her regular con-
cert itinerary, the season of 1904
was distinguished by her native
Philadelphia comforting the $40, 900
Box award upon her in March.
Three months later, Temple Uni
versity presented her with an Hon.
orary Doctorate of Music.
In March 1912, the singer estab-
lished the Marian Anderson Award
with the $40, 900 she received as the
Box prize. Through a committee
of three who are administering the
fund the contralto is sponsoring
young talented men and women in
the pursuit of their musical and
educational goals. The first annual
awards were granted in January,
1943, the prizes totalling 50, 700.
