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

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
