American Legion
Membership Drive

A drive for increased member
ship in the American Legion is
now under way in the Southern
Maryland District, Department of
Maryland, under sponsorship of
Voiture 265 of the Forty and
Eight. Montgomery County posts
are lending their enthusiastic sup
port to the drive, according to Dr..
James B. Bradley, chairman of
mebership for the district.
Men who have served in the
Armed Forces during World Wars
l and II or the Korean War are
eligible to join the American Le-
gion, DR.. Bradley points out. Le-
gion membership is now 100000,
with 100000 additional veter-
ans eligible to join. The Forty
and Eight drive, which is going
on throughout thee ountry, is di-
rected toward this vast number of
prospective members.
In answer to the question {:
"What can the Legion do for me?'
DR.. Bradley points to the fact
that it was the Legion which con-
ceived and sponsored in Congress
the G. I. Bill of Rights from which
so many veterans have benefited.
More than 2,250,000 World War
II veterans have purchased their
own homes under the loan provi-
sions of the G. l. Bill,
This schooling program has net
ted for the Nation some $4,000
engineers, $4,000 teachers, 2OO,-
600 men and women with medical
training, 100000 lawyers, $4,000
clergymen, 100000 business and
administrative specialists, 100000
scientists, 100000 liberal art grad
yates and 10000 metal workers.
In the field of child welfare the
American Legion and its affiliated
groups have spent since 1925 more
than $93,000,000 in emergency fl
nancial aid to needy children of
veterans. Most of this money has
gone for food, clothing and medi-
cal treatment. Here in Montgom-
cry County the Legion's work in
the March of Dimes drives over
the past two decades is well
known.

cry County Veterans who are eli
gible to join the American Legion

BY Sara A. Mortimer, Clerk 524
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1953-08-08

The governor Of South Carolina James F. Byrnes,
has been appointed United States Delegate to the
United Nations
Governor Byrnes is man with ability and wealth
of experience which some of the requirements for
anyone holding such an important position.
However, there other requirements and they are
just as important and should be considered
The United Nations is world organization and has
to make decisions affecting peoples of all colors
classes and creeds The United States of the biggest
and strongest nations in the group Representatives of this
great country should be selected with careful consdera
ton and should be without prejudice. Can say
that Governor Byrnes is not prejudice?
His record in this country is secret He has oppos-
ed Negroes in their effort for advancement while serving
as u s. Representative, Senator and governor
1t is only natural that Negroes would oppose Mr..
Byrnes is unlikely that the protest will change the
pontmen but it is good thing to let president know
how we feel about the matter.
