Saturday Only FINAL DRESS CLEARANCE ODDN’ ENDS Final Clearance Odd n’ End Slacks Wool Jackets Skirts Enactment of The American Le­ gion’s omnibus veterans’ bill now pending in Congress will affect vitally an estimated 3,000 residents of this community, declared Commander Dr. C. G. Stem, of Ccquille Poet, No. 38, today in commenting on this leg­ islation hailed as the “G. I. Bill of Rights.'*' Commander Stem pointed out that 1200 men #nd women f*»F‘ thil com munity are serving in ’* ~ ‘ the armed forces today whose future welfare will be materially shaped by this measure. “Multiply this figure by the number of their dependents, such as parents, wives and children, using the conser­ vative ratio of 2 Vi per individual/ and you have the total number of residents of thia community to which this legislation will be ®f inestimable aid,” Drr- Stem said. The American Legion measure sets up a master plan for dealing with the whole veterans’ problem of this war. It would unify all government func­ tions for veterans under the U. S. Veterans Administration, simplify procedure by eliminating red tape, and assure fairness for both the vet­ erans and the taxpayers, the Legion head stated. Into this bill the. Le­ gion has written the lessons of its 28 years of experience in dealing with 1 every problem of rehabilitating ex- I service men and women. “At present more than a dozen government agencies are competing with each other for the honor of serving the returning veterans," Commander Stem said, “The result is a lot of confusion, overlapping services, red tape which delays set- tlement of disability claims, divided responsibility, and too often out­ right neglect of the veteran who needs prompt «nd adequate care quickly. The Legion legislation would Boy Scout Week To Be remedy all that.

That sur­ vey disclosed shocking conditions. In 1,537 cases reported by telegraph, delays ranged from three to eleven months in the settlements of disability claims, forcing many of these men and women, some of them wounded on the fields of battle, on public or private charity. “By supporting the Legion measure, our citizens can best show their ap­ preciation of the sacrifices of our sol­ diers and sailors. This is no political legislation.
