Legion VIP
Is Speaker
Outlining a program of worth
while efofrts in which the Ameri
can Legion is doing an outstand
ing- job, Bud Johnson, National
Vice-president of that organza
tioh, gave a stirring speech to a
small group of Legionaires and
their wives and guests at a dinner
held Saturday night at the Island
Fountain.
The speaker, who was intro
duced by John Trent, outlined the
projects of the Legion, which in
clude child welfare, rehabilitation,
youth program, and athletics.
Child care has become an import
ant part of Legion work, the speak
er stated. Orphanages have been
established throughout the coun
try. But the emphasis has been
to place the children in foster
homes, he said. About ten million
dollars are spent annually, and the
program is highly successful. A
child welfare trust, fund has been
set up for the purpose. “It is a
sure way to combat juvenile delin
quency,” Johnson stated.
The Legion’s rehabilitation pro
gram, he said, is set up with one
purpose in mind—to assist the
veteran to retain and enlarge on
the purposes for which he fought.
“98 per cent of the benefits to vet
erans -were started by the Ameri
can Legion,” Johnson stated.
The American Legion has sought
the establishment of education in
centives. It has consistently fought
for better wages for teachers and
better qualified teachers, the
speaker stated.
In its Youth program, the Legion
sponsors Junior League baseball
teams across the country, with
over one millin kids playing. The
organization sponsors a Boys State,
in which the kids function in of
fice just as individuals in govern
ment. “The American Legion is
the biggest sponsor of Boy Scouts
troops in America,” Johnson
stated.
The speaker closed by urging
the members of the local post to
take part in community service.
“There is nothing that will estab
lish the Legion like community
service,” he said.
Johnson awarded Ben Kraft with
a special citation for his 30 years
of active participation in the Am
erican Legion. He is finance offi
cer in the local organization.
Carl Brunstad gave a brief his
tory of the post, and George Cor
nelius spoke briefly.
