They have written about life as it 1s, have held up the mirror of truth in short story, essay, drama and novel. Bome have captured life in harmony and thelr songs and compositions have opened the hesrt to love, Some have solidi- fied imagination and have perpetuated the beauty of line and form in marble or bronze. * * * As a body, we are pledged to further the worthwhile things in our Nation, our community and ourselves, and to reveal bheauty, which is truth in life—and, therefore, we must have ideals.

A national mobilization plan for the American Legion was presented to the national conference of State adjutants and commanders of the Legion at a re- cent meeting at national headquarters in Indianapolis, Ind.. by National Comdr. Edward E. Spafford. “The many and varied disasters of the past year and the effective work done by many Legion posts bring forcibly to mind that our organization of men and women trained to act in emergency can be of great service in local, State and even National catas- trophes,” Comdr. Spafford said. “Some of our States have already organized for mobilization in the event of disaster and regularly conduct practice mobilizations. “In order to function most effec- tively a skeleton organization is necessary, and such organization should be required to mobilize or function at least once each year so as to insure smooth co-operation of the parts in the event of an actual emer- gency. “In community disasters there are three situations to consider: “1. The work of rescue during the disaster. “2. Protection of life and property immediately after the disaster. “3. Hospitalization, sanitation and supply. “In much of this work the organized co-operation of the territory contigu ous to the disaster will go far to im- prove conditions. This was shown in connection with the great Mississippl floods and also the more recent floods in New England. “The national organization of the Legion, in order to facilitate the mobilization of our great disciplined man power to meet public disasters, proposes the following plan of organ- ization or mobilization: “1. District commanders. “For mobilization purposes the United States is divided into five great districts, having regard generally to natural geographical and industrial conditions, and each of such districts shall be assigned to a mnational vice commander of the Legion who shall be responsible for its proper organization, and shall conduct at least one prac- tice mobilization each year. he five districts shall be as fol- .

Duplicate of all this information should be in the hands of the State mobilization officer at all times, and in this connection particular pains should be taken to arrange ef- fective means of communication in the event that the ordinary methods are destroyed. “The mobilization officers should make themselves acquainted with hos. pital, railroad, police and military authorities within their territory and inform them of the plan of organiza- tion. and they should seek to co-oper- ate with the established authorities in any emergency and desire direction and instruction from such authorities as to how their aid can be most effec tively cendered. There should be no friction between the established au- thorities and those who are to act in an emergency. ““The actual work of rescue during : disaster is one which will rest most heavily upon the local post and the men in the post. Post commanders should have available a complete list of all post members with their ad- dresses and telephone numbers, or in the smaller towns should arrange for me signal or order of assembly or warning either by way of bell or whistle or both. The mere provision for the sounding of such a signal. at a time of disaster. may be such » warning and cause such alertness as to save many lives Each village knows its own local dangers from flood. fire or mine disaster and the post program should have thése in mind. “Immediately subsequent to a dis aster the posts of the territory sur- rounding the place of disaster should function. After any great catastrophe there is always a mob of the curious and unhelpful who flock in and fm pede the work of rescue, as well as de stroy property. The American Legion members from neighboring posts should assume the work of guard duty to restrain these idle, curlous mobs " Vincent B.
