ATTENTION, ALL EX-SERVICE MEN I - The legislature has passed a bill providing funds for prosecuting claims of Nebraska ex-service men who have disabilities arising from military service. Under the World War Veteran’s Act, July 2, 1927, is the final date for filing claims with the U. S. Vet erans’ Bureau. It is necessary that every ex-service man who expects to press a claim for disability, should have his claim filed and the case on record. No man, however meritori ous his case, will be able to get con sideration of his claim unless same has been filed with the U. S. Vet erans' Bureau before July 2, 1927. It is therefore so imperative that Legion Posts are using this method to inform their comrades to have their claims filed NOW. The matter of securing compensation can be tak en up later, but get the claim on record before July 2, 1927. All Post Commanders are taking this matter up at their next meeting night and are using every effort to get this information to ex-service men. The Roosevelt Post will meet Friday, May 20th, at 8:00 p. m. If you have a claim before the Bureau, or desire to file a claim, report to this meeting, as Information of import ance with reference to your claim will be taken up. Commander Killingsworth, of Roosevelt Post No. 30, states that there are many ex-service men in Omaha who should file claims and whose cases have merit, but due to the lack of proper information do not know how to get a hearing before the Bureau. During the past year Roose velt Post No. 30 has prosecuted over fifty claims before the Bureau, and has been successful in securing aid in the mapority of the cases. During the past year the Post has expended more than $2,600.00 for charity purposes among ex-service men and their families. They have given checks from $16.00 to $50.00 in many cases. “What we need most of all,” says Killingsworth, "is a large member ship. There are approximately five hundred colored ex-service men in Omaha, and last year the Post was successful in securing a little more than 33 1 /8 per cent of them in the Legion.” The Post will conduct a carnival on the vacant lot in the rear of 2039 North Twenty-fourth street, from May 30 to June 4, inclusive. Watch papers for announcement. The offi cers of the Post are: E. W. Killings worth, commander; R. L. Williams, adjutant; R. C. Long, service secre tary; Dr. W. W. Peebles, liason offi cer; James R. Bell, vice commander; Metz Marian, second vice comman der; L. C. Broomfield, treasurer and finance officer, and Rev. C. H. Trus ty, chaplain. The executive committee of the Post consists of: Dr. J. A. Single ton, James Peoples, John Faucett, R. C. Dong and Dr. Westley Jones.
