The legion’s welfare work among all ex service men and their families, i ■ gardless of w hether or not they be long to the legion, its Americaniza tton work, and its other activities, it present a community service of the highest order. Finance Own Work. The legion's work is all financed by the service men themselves. They don't ask the general public for money; their work should not only be continued, but enlarged. The business institutions of Omaha can be very helpful by permitting the American Legion to place their post . ers In the business establishments, end they would he rendering a service by permitting the legion workers to , enter their establishments on January 31 to ask service men to Join the legion. The proposition would he a success if employers will permit their em ployes, who are legion men, to work ’ 'n the membership campaign one day, January 31. If the legion requests it. All Should Join.
