We started this comradeship in 1917, repledged it in 1941, and thanks to the organ- izers of our American Legion the good work is still going on. We are not merely carrying on in a routine manner but are serving in an ever widening and deepened sphere of influence. Aid for sick and disabled veterans, nelp for widows and children of our duddies who have answered the last summons, child welfare in all its phases, employment for veterans, Sons of the Legion, boys’ state, junior baseball, Americanism program, Frqgram to further education, legis- lative program for betterment of community, state, and national laws, disaster relief—these are some of the many worthwhile activities the Le- gion has always carried on—whether our bejoved country is at war or at peace.
