Wrmtaítm Wralìt ■< VOL. XIX i f ■■■■■■■■! COOLIDGE NATIONAL CHAIR N A N OF FUND NOTICE Advertising copy and all items intended for publi cation in the current is sue of The Herald should reach this office not later than 4 P. M. Wednesday afternoon. ■ I ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■a DONATIONS TO JUD SICK AND ORPHANS ARE EXPECTED HERE Every Community Contributing To National American Legion Endowment Fund This community is expected to give its share to the national American Legion Endowment Fund, aa other communities throughout the United States are doing. The income from this Endowment Fund is to be used to assist and cure disabled former service men and to provide hoihes for the orphans and dependent children of war veterans, and the Fund, itself, is to be perpetual. A trust agreement provides that when death has wiped out the membership of the present American Legion, the incomo from the Endowment Fund shall be used for purposes most nearly identical to those for which it is needed today. The person then president of the United States will name a board to determine the use of the income. Every person, regardless of creed, is concerned in the welfare of those who gave their all in the world war. Especially is The Legion concerned with those thousands of war veterans who are sick and helpless, but who, because Justice can never be made automata, are unable to obtain gov ernment aid. Thousands of Sick Aided Those who are familiar at all with The American Legion work, know what this great organization has done to aid the disabled. Cooperating with government agencies, officials of The Legion have made possible the hos pitalisation of thousands of sick and wounded boys who, had it not been for a helping hand, would have been lost to society long ago. Other thousands need that same help today. Many of them cannot be given aid by the government under existing laws, and while officials of The legion literally have written most of the laws to take care of the disabled, It Is impossible to make leg islation serve all. Many Illustrations could be given. Thousands of men have married since the war ended, when they seemingly were sound physically, but in reality were in a weakened condi tion from gas and exposure. They fell into the clutches of tuberculosis and other diseases, and in a few years have passed away, leaving their widows and children at the mercy of Governor May Be Asked to Send Troops to Preserve Order Dur in g B alll Game On next Satuday. Memorial Day, the fats and leans of this city will stage a ball game on the Hermiston 'diamond. The game will be called jat 2:30. The bloody encounter will i be for a worthy cause, the Ameri ca n Legion endowment fund. | There is keen rivalry between both factions, each confident of winning.

MEMORIAL DAY TO RE OBSERVED HERE Good Home for Every Child The Legion is determined that every child of a war veteran shall have as good a home, and a real mother's love, as that child would have had if his father had not died for his country. The United States Veterans' Bureau estimates there are 5,000 orphans of veterans in the United States today who need some degree of care. The Legion is maintaining one children's billet, now filled to capacity, where such dependent ehildreo are given good homes. Other billets are being established and will be in operation as soon as possible. In addition to this, The Legion cooperates with other child welfare organizations, re alizing that every sincere effort to aid children is of value, and that the field A CORRECTION tor this endeavor is unlimited.
