Legion Commander
Seeks New Members
Help Needed to Fight Hoover
Commission, A.-C. Harris Says
Hi
Mrs. Norman to Lead
Van Legion Auxiliary
The Ladies’ Legion Auxiliary
met Monday, Feb. 6, and elected
as auxiliary president, Mrs. J. W.
Norman.
Other officers choosen were
Mrs. Faye Thompson, first vice-
president; Mrs. E. Purman, second
vice-president; Mrs. A. C. Harris,
secretary-treasurer; Mrs. Floyd
Blanchard, chaplain; Mrs. Henry
Keane, sergeant at arms.
The auxiliary has helped support
the American Legion by furnish-
ing the Legion Hut with blinds,
dishes, a stove, and purchasing
the shrubery surrounding the
building, it was said.
There are now 20 members on
the roll. The auxiliary meets ev-
ery first and third Thursday
night3 at 7:.°0, at the Legion Hut.
Albert C. Harris, active member
of the Van American Legion,
Shinn-Bryant Post No. 606, is urg-
ing all veterans to pay their dues.
He says, “Every man who carrys
a paid-up Legion membership card
of 1950 is helping to win the Le-
gion’s fight to protect veterans
benefits.”
In emphasising the evils the
proposals of the Hoover Commis-
sion would have on the veterans,
Harris says that the Hoover Com-
mission Report on Veterans Af-
fairs proposes to abolish the Vet-
erans Administration; destroy
most of the benefits won by the
Legion for. the veteran; cut off
veterans preference; and have the
great V. A. hospitalisation program
thrown out for some new fangled
bureau which will be known as the
United Medical Administration—a
catch-all for the Army, Navy, Air
Corps and Public Service.
Too Little, Too Late
“We don’t want this to be an-
other case of too little and too
late,” stresses Harris. “Member-
ship ar.d a dynamic nationwide
campaign against this segment of

Charles Lester will take charge
of the first year agriculture classes*
His main subject will be the pro-
duction and marketing of green
wrap and pink tomatoes. Visits
to hot houses in this area will be
made by the classes.
the Hoover Commission is the one
and only way we will beat this
revival of the 1933 Economy Act.”
All Legion Posts are being con-
tacted by Joe Spurlock, department
commander of the American Le-
gion, between now and March 15,
to urge the veterans to take an
active part in their local Legion
Post, and to make a concerted ef-
fort to increase the membership
as much as possible so as to with-
stand the Hoover Commission.
Membership Stressed
Membership is the dynamic
force which keeps an organization
strong and active.” Harris stated*,
urging that in order to carry out
“Operation Survival,” each mem-
ber should go “all out” to increase
the membership of the Legion Post
between now and March 15v which
is the American Legion’s birth-
day.
