PAGE TEN Att DN URGED TO INCREASE SCOPE OF ~ SERVICE AND VALUE TO COMMUNITY BY WALTER G. CURTIS, STATE COMMANDER Dickinson N. D., Jul: tant endeavor to 4 scope of its service and its value to the community should be the aim of the American Legion, Command- er Walter G, Curtis, Lisbon, said in his address to the state depart- ment meeting here today. “If the Legion is to occupy, in the mincs of our people that po: tion of regard and esteem to which it is justly entitled we must serve faithfully and well,” the commander said, “Care of the disabled, child welfare, a broader view of Amer- icanism and community service have been and still are important matters for our consideration. “Our duty lies first to the dis- abled so long as any disabled vet- * eran is not receiving just considera- tion. Every post of the depart- ment should at all times have an active committee in charge of the work of looking to the needs of the disabled. “Our child welfare work is in its infancy and is a matter which will first come to the attention of the local post. It is to be hoped that every post will be alert to do i part when called upon to assist in arranging for the care of any or- phan of our comrades. Duty Not Finished “We have a right to feel proud of the response made on the en- dowment in this department—but when we find that there are still posts who have not seen fit to make or complete the drive in their locality—we know that our duty is not done and we cannot say that our work is completed and it will not be completed until every post] |, has come through and contributed | «, its share toward this great Legion undertaking. “A state wide committee on Am- ericanism was named early during my term and in some places ood work has been done and in others not a wheel has turned. We must realize that it is now time that the Legion give its attention to re-Am- ericanizing America. There is too much of a lack of understanding of the meaning and of the duties of citizenship. Too many feel that citizenship consists sol of privi lege without respons ‘ies. This does not refer merely to paying roper respect to our flag, respect- ing the rights of others, and urg- ing support of our laws. It is im- perative that our citizens perform those two most important duties of c nship—exercising the right of suffrage and rendering uncom- plaining jury servic By teaching the necessity of voting and of gi ing time to jury service w bring home to our own citizens those ideals which we seek to in- culcate in the aliens who tome to our land. “It is recommended that the Le- gion posts located: in the county seats seriously consider the pre- senting to every newly made citi- zen a copy of the work gotten out at the suggestion of the Legion, * that is, “The Story of America” and thus give them a chance to read and study the true story of Amer- ica’s life. Leading Civic Organization “The importance to the Legion of community service cannot be over- estimated. Every Legion post should be active in every movement looking to the advancement of the community wherein it is located. In many of the smaller towns the Legion is looked to as the leading civic organization; and the number -of ‘communities where that is so must constant, rease. .. “I would recommend to the in- caning administration the adop- tion of four planks covering Justice for our disabled; Care for the orphans and de- pendents of those of our com- rades who have gone on; A more intelligent meaning of Americanism; The widest possible commun- 4 service, “It is recommend that all posts have their election and installation of officers before the last of Oc- r. By so doing I believe that will be able to show a larger id up membership on January first than under the present method. “Our” membership is now five Aundred greater than it was at the vend of 1925. We have over 8,000 members. “Every district in the department is over the 100 per cent mark on membership as follows: First District . Second Distriét Third District .. Fourth District Fifth District Sixth District 94 176 Posts In State ee “We have 176 active, functioning “posts. In those under 100 per cent we find practically all are small -> town posts so you will see that our posts. peship in these posts of less than ist year as follows: continued without interruption. At present, no matter how soon the new commander may hope to start it takes him about a month to make his apointments and then. the com- mittees have additional delay be- °o ized. irds of cach committee remained in office after the con- ntion they could meet at the the and without delay in rk decide upon future act- es based upon the action of the convention. “It is therefore recommended that the incoming Commander ap- point all committees so that one third of those appointed on each committee will serve for three years, one third for two years and one third for one year, and that ter one third of cach com- hosen by the newly elect- der for a period of three action is taken particu- spect to child welfare and disabled, legislative, publicity, activities, Americanism, finance and membership we will surely reap the benefit in years to come. “A commanders’ and adjutants’ | conference was held in December of last year and it is recommended that such a conference be made an larly with pores reer erent ree ~ ie ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | ~ local.

Auxiliary Cooperates he American Legion Auxiliary s cooperated ‘with us all along the line and it has been a pleasure to turn to them and ask for their help in the solving of Legion prob- lems. It is to be hoped that we may at a not far distant date, be ble to hold our convention at the s time and place*as the Auxil- iary and we can then gain a better insight on the work they are do- ing for the Legion. “The American Legion is out of the youngster stage in this depart- ment and it will be wise for us to look ahead in our plans and sabes for the time when our membership will be on the decline. Unless we do so in the next few years we are bound to have difficulty in the maintaining of our activities. “Let us remember that we only get out of the Legion that which we put into the Legion. “It needless for me to urge} pledge myself to the limit of my ability to aid in realizing that goal.” Some Students Earn As Much As $500 Per Year As Assistants and the agricul- tural college may earn as much as $500 a year at that job records of the state board of administration show. Several get that sum but in practically every case they ara sta- dents who have had practical ttain- ing in the work to which they are assigned or who can devote un- usually long hours to it.
