Legion Child Welfare
Outlines New Programs
Among old and new programs
outlined at the American Legion
and American Legion Auxiliary
Area “E” conference on Child
Welfare, two in-particular appeal
most directly to Mrs. Mary Steel
man, Department chairman and
president of the local Auxiliary
Unit.
“These two are—work for the
mentally retarded child and the
juvenilt program”, Mrs. Steelman
said. Albany, Georgia has laun
ched a program, she said, with
publicity on radio, television and
newspapers called “Juvenile De
cency”. This plan calls for public
recognition of the good and con
structive accomplishments of
teen-agers. Their motto is to “Ac
centuate the Positive and help
Eliminate the Negative”.
Another program that is far
reaching, the chairman pointed
out, is the education and scholar
ship fund. Anyone wishing in
formation about anj' scholarship,
and there are 10,000, may contact
either the local Post or Unit. A
booklet called “Need a Lift” soon
will give this information and it
is hoped that copies will be avail
able for placement in the Palmer
high school.
Mrs. Steelman added that one,
other phase of the Child Welfare
Program is aid to Korean chil
dren. Many have been left home
less, she said, and in some cases,
hopeless. Five dollars buys educa
tion for one year in Korea, she
said. What a small fee for giving
one child the chance of education
with all its attendant phases.
“How many can you start on the
way, today?”, she asked.
