Every Community Expected To
Raise Its Share of American

Governor McMullen and Gett

Legion Endowment Fund to Gilbert
Polk Shockey, age 8, of Lincoln, Neb.f
whose father died In the world war.
GOVERNOR ADAM McMULLEN,
Executive Chairman of the Nebraska
State Committee of The American
Legion Endowment Fund now being
raised to cure and assist disabled vet
erans and to care for the orphans of
former service men.'
This community is expected to do
Its part in raising Nebraska’s share
of the American Legion Endowment
Fund, the income of which will be
used to cure and assist disabled war
veterans and to provide good homes
for the dependent orphans of former
service men.
The work of organizing for the in
tensive campaign in this state to col
lect the money is going forward rap
idly under the active leadership of
Governor Adam McMullen, chairman
of the state committee of the endow
ment fund. The actual subscription
of funds takes place next week, May
25 to 30.
In naming prominent leaders to
work in conjunction with Legion offi
cials, Governor McMullen declared
Nebraskans want to see “this job
done promptly and effectively.’’
General Pershing also has made an
appeal to every community of Ne
braska to aid in carrying the endow
ment fund to success.
“Nebraska’s part in this campaign
will, I hope, be taken up in the same
fine spirit that was manifest in the
various drives during the war,’’ Gen
eral Pershing said. “Then the state
stood high in her per capita subscrip
tion toward winning the war.
"We face no less responsibility to
day,” he continued, “in taking care of
the 35,000 or more orphans of ex
service men and in helping the men
who came back maimed for life.
“It is the cooperation of the Amer
ican Legion with the government that
necessitates the use of funds to pro
vide adequate care for the disabled.”
Nebraska’s share of the endowment
fund is $50,000.
“Not a cent of the principal will bs
touched,” General Pershing explained.
"The interest will insure a perpetual
fund for the care of those whe suf
fered for our freedom. I sincerely
hope that the state of Nebraska will
respond to the appeal of the Amer
ican Legion and quickly subscribe its
quota.”
Governor McMullen, in accepting the
chairmanship, pointed to his state's
record of notable achievements in
•very great and patriotic endeavor.
