Your Cheapest

Your fire insurance dollar pays for in

loss when calamity overtakes you. But
that dollar buys so much more than the

Conference Greatest Ever
The Annual Conference of Nontih
Carolina American Legion Post Offi
cials in Winston-Salem, Feb 29, prov
ed to be by far the largest and moat

ens. Jr., outline the State and Na

Eastern North Carolina and from the
Piedmont section, came the Legion

in Legion service and to discuss ways
and means of better carrying for
ward the Legion's great program of
ie-al constructive service to theii dis
abled comrades end the widows and
orphans, and to the community, state
and nation. They came especially to

more than 10,000 Legion posts in prac
tically every county in the. United
States.
Nor was any one of Chat vast throng

of this the greatest, most successful
and moat enthusiastic Conference ever
in the least bit disappointed. They
were all delighted with'the cordial
manner ih which their comrades of
the Clyde BoHipg Post received tfvecn,
and were m6re than pleased with the
splendid hospitality which awaited
them by the Legionnaires and the en
tire citizenship of Wlnston-SaKm.
Winston-Salem is famed for its hos
pitality arid the Legionnaires and cit
izens of Winston-Salem more than
lived up to the expectations of the

now first vice-president, she has been
interested in the Auxiliary work for
a number of years, and she is well in
formed on the activities of the State
work as well as the national affairs
of the Auxiliary.
The special feature of the afternoon
was a report of the State meeting held
at Winston-Salem last week.
Mrs. Gary requested that as many
as could attend the District meeting
Friday, March 11, at Oxford, this
meeting will be held In the Woman’s
club building at 3 o'clock.
The hostesses served an Ice course.
ficers > was well attended by the Le
gion Post officials of Nortih Carolina.
Never before In the whole history of
the N. C. Legion, has such real and
intense interest and enthusiasm for
the Legion's great program been man
ifested as was manifest at these Con
ferences of the various post officials
and at the evening session or joint
meeting of the American Legion and
the American Auxiliary (to
which the public waa invited), when
National Commander Stevens address
ed this great gathering.
Stevens bring# Real Message
It is not at all hard for Henry Stev
ens’ thousands of Legion friends in
this state to realize the tremendously
favorable Impression which I%»nth
Carolina's Natiot.fi! Commander has
made and is making wherever he has
gone and wherever he goes this year
throughout the nation preaching the
gospel of the Legion. He’s the same
old Henry Steven* who went from the
mountains to the Mfi beck in ’26 as
Department Commander in his efforts
to build up the American Legion here
in North Carolina—he is tbe same and
then some, if you know what we mean.
Every one who heard the National
Commander's great address there in
Winston-Salem knows that his mes
sage was a real message from his
heart to the Legionnaires of his native
State. Many Legionnaires were pres
ent who had heard Henry Stevens be
fore and all agreed that this address
there in Winston-Salem was the great
est Legion speech Henry ever made.
Had it been possible for every Legion
naire in North Carolina to have heard
that great message from National
Commander Btevena, and to haye wit
nessed the sincerity and fotmfuinam
with which this great message was
delivered, th« numerical strength of
the American Legion in North CarcjJ
llna would surely have been doubled
within Che next few days. Every Leg
ionnaire present undoubtedly was im
bued with a real determination te
“stay with It” and personalty see that
this program of tbe Legion is properly
carried forward In thair respective
communities.
Legionnaires present wished that alt
their comrades back home could have
been privileged to have thus seen and
heard their Great National Command
er In action there in W tart an-Salem.
After heating that great address K is
easy to understand why at the con
clusion of the address of National
Commander Henry L. St evens' address
MW HELPING
SOLDIER FAMILIES
Varied Activities of That
Kind Being Carried on
By Group
The main objective of the American
Legion Auxiliary Is to render service
to the ex-eervice men and their fam
ilies that are in need of help and to
perpetuate the memory of those that
gave their life in service.
Mrs. H. A. Newell in charge of the
child welfare work has put forth a
great effort to see that all cases that
hre brought to her attention are in
vestigated and the necessary help
given when there are funds available.
Mrs. J. W. Jenkins, lends a helping
hand to the unfortunate veteran. She
Is chairman of the rehabilitation
work. She helps the men or families
to secure the compensation due them
or hospitalization wlier. needed. She
looks into each case carefully some
times It takes weeks and even months
to get records completed. A great
deal of correspondence is envolved
and sometimes a number of visits
have to be made. Credit is also due
Mrs. Wall and Mrs. Woodard as well
as others for the interest they have
taken in this work.
Another important feature of the
Auxiliary is the Poppy sale. This
helpe to provide funds for the work
this organization is undertaking, the
poppies are made by the wives of the
ex-service men that are very ill in
our government hospitals, they do not
draw compensation or have no means
of income. So in order that their
wives and children can be near them
during their last days, they are al
lowed this privilege, therefore the
poppy sale renders a service that is
twofold.
This organization is still in its in
fancy. but it is far-reaching and ren
dering a great service.
at tfve annual post officers conference
In lowa this year, the more than 2,500
Legionnaires of lowa rose to their
feet and cheered, the demonstration
lasting for more than four minutes.
(And be it recalled that lowa had a
candidate of its own for National
Commander iasft year, a candidate
whom Henry Stevens defeated).
