confronted in our traffic problem
with situation as serious as in
war in the number of killed and
wounded A national safety pro-
gram for the reduction Of street
and highway fatalities has been
worked out in cooperation with
other nationally recognized safety
agencies. In the field of safety,
Legion Posts have organized hun
dreds of school boy safety patrols,
erected safety posters and signs
along the highways, sponsored mass
meetings, provid ID innumerable
speakers, and distributed thousands
of pieces of safety material.
AS means of giving widespread
publicity to patriotic ideas and to
encourage study of the Consti-
tuition OF the United States of Am
erica, a National High School Ora
torical Contest is conducted by the
Americanism Commission of The
American Legion each year. In
1910 approximately 10000 students
in 20 states too part in this activ-
ity. And to the national winner is
awarded a $4,000 college or univer-
sity scholarship.
Study of Government
To further a more intensive study
of government, the Legion inaug-
urated a plan nown as Boys State
in 1895. In this activity boys of
high school age learns the functions
of the various branches of munic-
ipal and state government by ac-
tually participating in the work of
the various offices. They learn
for themselves what actually makes

sire to translate that pledge ITO
inculcate a sense of individual OBJ
legation to the community, state
and nation" into practical service
found outlets in many different
ways.
1t may have been in giving an
opportunity to one-half million
boys each summer to play Am
erica's game on the diamond in
the Legion's Junior Baseball pro-
gram. This activity started in 1926
by the Legion, has not only fur
nished we'll supervised school va
cation recreation program, but has
proved to be training ground and
stepping stone to fame and fortune
in the big leagues of baseball.
Relationship
Then there is the relationship be-
tween the Legion and the Boy
Scouts of America For IS years
the Legion has worked in close CO.
operation with the Scout movement
through organizing troops and fur
nishing troop leadership and spon-
sorship. AS high as 5000 Scout
troops have been supervised or
equipped by Legion Posts.
Early in the life of the organiza-
ton, the Legion believed it import
ant that the attention of all of
the citizens of the nation be called
to the menace of illiteracy. The
need was here for plan to focus
public attention upon the schools
of America. Accordingly, partner
ship was set up with the National
Education Association and the u.
S. Office of Education to set aside
one week each year to be known
as American Education Week. Since
1921 the Legion has, through its
Departments and Posts, worked to
make this observance a success.
In fire, earthquake, flood and
famine, The American Legion has
always been in the front line rem
dering service to disaster stricken
communities. The national organi-
cation has worked out a plan for
disaster relief with the American
Red Cross. Several thousand posts
now have disaster relief units
which practice regularly and many
state departments of the Legion in
the past have held annual test
notifications for these relief units.
A dramatic history has already
been written of the work of the
Legion in floods in the Middlewest,
earthquakes on the West coast, and
hurricanes in the Southeastern part
of the country.
Traffic Problem
Having a first-hand knowledge
of the manned and killed in World
War 1, the Legion has long rec
ognized that we in America are

the wheels of government go around
by setting up mythical 49th
State. During the summer of 1899
total of "a states provided this
type of training for young men.
These and many other activities
make up the community service
work of The American Legion.
Fairgrounds have been built; frac-
ture tables and iron lungs have
been presented to hospitals; SWIM
ming pools have been built; COM
munity recreation centers have been
provided; more than 10000 Ameri-
can Legion School Award medals
have been presented to outstand-
ing students in one year; 353,70
copies of the Flag Code have been
distributed in one years time to
further flag respect. More than
200 different types of community
service activities have been de-
veloped and carried out by Legion
Posts.
Field Unlimited
The community service phase of
the Legion's national Americanism
program provides an unlimited field
for Legion endeavor, and for the
past Is years Legion Posts over the
country have been hard at work
sponsoring and promoting various
projects for the betterment of their
home towns. In carrying out the
different types of projects Legion
Posts have had the wholehearted
support and cooperation of other
civic groups and they have worked
hand in hand toward bringing
about a real, concrete community

progress. Wherever you go, whether
it be in the rural districts or in
the metropolitan centers, you will
find a group of men wearing the
American Legion button, coming
from every walk of life in the
community, who stand ready and
willing to tackle any project Of a
civic nature.
AS former service men of the
present War join the ranks of the
Legion, it can be expected that the
will carry on its high
traditions and to multiply it's ac-
tivities in behalf of "the commun-
ity, state and nation"

Police Youth Bureau.
Advocated by FSA;
Unit Organizing Here

Establishment of juvenile bureaus
in police departments as a means
OF dealing with delinquency is
strongly recommended in a PAM
phlet for the guidance of law en-
forcement officials which was re-
leased last night by the Community
War Services of the Federal Sc
curity Agency.
Such a bureau is being organized
in the Police Department here un-
der 1t. William T. Murphy. with
personnel recommendation await
ing the approval of Superintendent
Of Police Edward j. Kelly.
The booklet was written by law
enforcement officials. 1t suggests
the bureaus chief concern should
be to deal in an understanding and
constructive way with juveniles COM
ing to their attention and to locate
and correct conditions which may
lead to delinquency. The necessity
of cooperation with parents and
welfare youth-serving agencies is
emphasized
Most Lack Judgment.
Most juvenile delinouents, for all
their seeming toughness, are still
immature boys and girls, lacking in
Judgment, who need understanding
and guidance rather than punish
ment," the pamphlet says.
The pamphlet emphasizes that
police have responsibility for con-
trolling conditions that breed de-
linquency and outlines methods of
supervising dance halls, bars, res
taurants, club, cabarets, candy stores,
movies and places which employ
child labor.
"The, manner in which the officer
handles the child in his first diff
ficulty with police may be the max
ing or breaking of the youngsters
future life" the booklet says. "It is
imperative that every officer, from
the chief or sheriff down to the
newest rookie or deputy, have an
understanding of how juveniles
should be interviewed and treated"
Extreme Tact Needed.
In section devoted to the prob
lem of,young girls discovered in cir
cumstances indicating promiscuous
behavior, the booklet points out the
situation demands extreme tact, dis
cretion and judgment on the part of
police.
Police must maintain strict super
vision of premises which men of the
armed services may frequent and to
which young girls are naturally at
tracted," the booklet says. Sue
cessful gains in the prevention of
this type of delinquency will never
be made until policy of proceeding
against the male companion is
adopted"

Sister Aimee's'
Death Inquiry
Takes New Turn

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5. CUP) -
A bottle of sleeping medicine found
beside the body of Aimee Semple
Mcpherson in an Oakland, Califor-
mia, hotel room, brought state board
of pharmacy agents here Thursday
to pursue another phase of investi-
cation of the evangelist's death.
John A. Foley, secretary of the
board, said the medicine in the bot
tie was a powerful hypnotic, usually
used as a Sedative.
However, he said that if the drug
was combined with alcohol it had
the effect of stimulating inSpira-
tional thought" many times.
Because the bottle bore no pre-
scription number and no physicians S
name, as required by law, the board
began its Investigations to find out
how the evangelist obtained the
drug, Foley said. He said both of
the cvangeliSt's physicians denied
prescribing the medicine.
Meanwhile, the cause of the re-
noWned evangeliSt's death had not
been determined. Autopsy surgeons
7and toXicologists failed to find any
cause and pathologists continued
their analysis of her vital organs.
An inquest, scheduled for October
6 was postponed until October l3
to await outcome of the analysis.
Enlarging their previous plans to
honor their dead leader, Aimee's fol-
lnunrC In A.
clad body lie in state at Angelus
temple for three days, October g. 7
and 8. Funeral services will be con-
Quoted at the temple October 0 with
