Child With Parents “In connection with Child Wel- fare Service,” Miss Puschner said today, “the Legion advocates that never shall a child be removed from its parents because of poverty alone; that if through the death | of the father or his hospitalization | for physical or mental disability, or | his removal from the family| through some other cause, the mother is unable to keep her fam- ily of children together, the Terri- | tory and communities should pro- vide measures to assist that mother to keep her children with her in| a suitable home enviromnent in| order that the children may know the daily contact of a good moth- | er and may also have the normal | BROKEN TRIANGLE BRING this eve-| | ning at a meeting of E.

Removal from Home “Only as a last resort, and only when it is for the best interest of the child because of physical or mental handicaps, does the Legion believe that it may be necessary for a child to be removed from the home and the community and be given some form of institutional care.

Trustworthy Information “In its educational work, the Na- tional Child Welfare Division of the Legion obtains the best infor- mation available concerning care and protection of children and passes that information on to | the state departments of the Amer- ican Legion. In each of these state departments the Legion has a Child Welfare organization with a chairman in charge, and thus the educational information is passed on to all the members of the Legion organization to enlight- en them concerning the conditions of children in the states and the communities.” | S ee— Gold nuggsws worth $54 were found in the gizzard of a hen near !
