GRAHAM MARY COrrftibnr II KIVV4fU REGIONAL BILLETS FOR WAR ORPHANS ' y With the dedication recently of the American Legion's childrens billet at Otter Lake, Mich., the legion has gotten under. way with a nation-wid- e jirograrn of child welfare. Specifically, the Legion intends to care for ail tha children whose fathers were killed In action or who died as a result of service in the American forces during tlia World war. There are at present, according to experts, 5,000 waifs of war who are being denied childhood privileges because their fathers died In service. By the creation of regional billets the Legion intends to care for all of these. The plan outlined by the national child welfare committee of the Legion allows for expansion to meet the requirements ten years hence, when the peak load will be reached 35, (XX) of them. The billet at Otter Lake, Mich., Is typical of the legions method oi handling this Important phuse of service work. It is neither an Institution nor an orphanage. It approximates a home as far as It Is humanly possible. Instead of having one big dormitory, the way most Institutions are run, the Legion has small cottages of from four to six rooms. Nine children at the most are housed In one building, where they are looked after by a house mother. The children dress as other children, with no semblance of uniformity. They attend public school, leaving In the morning, taking their lunch, and returning about five oclock In time to play until supper time. The Otter Lake billet, which Is the first regional billet, now cares for 20 children, with three houses built an4 ground broken for two more. These children are of every extraction Hungarian, Polish, French, Italian and the like. Many of them came to the billet In extremely poor health, emaciated and undernourished. Overlooking Otter lake, one of the prettiest of Michigans thousand lakes, the billet Is Ideal for health purposes and, under the guidance of Mrs. Kva Ingersoll, supervising mother, the food prepared is based on needs. Dr. O. Johnson, the superintendent, looks after the health of the children and not one case of serious Illness has been reported since the fillet got under way. The need for more room to handle he fatherless children Is manifested liy the constant requests for permission to send children to the billet. A .waiting list ample In size has con-- 1 winced he Legionnaires that they As fast as the ieed more space. money Is available such expansion Is taking place. The Michigan billet was first begun its an activity of the Michigan depart- )ment of the Legion, with help by the. legislature. However, when the nn-- j flonal organization of the Legion went1 Into the problem, Michigan graciously, turned over her billet to tbe national! j body. I The second child billet Is now underway at Independence, Knns. John It. Quinn, national commander of tbe I.e-- 1 e glon, recently dedicated a tract of land, where llie second series of cottages will be erected. Kansas raised $100,000 to Insure completion drive of tbe project by a state-wid- e for funds. The tract of land was tbe gift of Daniel Dabney, whose two sons were killed in action while serving Jwlth the American forces In France. Not only does the Legion care for .children In regional billets, but it also for them In childless families, fares precedents established by social workers, the Legion seeks about men who have no for and who wish to rear one nf the jwalfs of war, and allows them to adopt one. The Legion takes exceptional care in Investigating circumstances so that the child will get the ender care rightfully due. In other Instances the Legion has ound that the mother does not wish In jto be separated from her child. such an event the Legion furnishes cash support. j The need for such welfare work Is proved when It Is known that the government does not compensate a widow sufficiently to Insure adequate support. A widow with no children receives but $25 a month. With one child, she gets $35, and $0 for each additional child. As a result, It Is necessary for her to work to support herself, and If her child Is very young she must place It In a nursery. If the child Is but a few years of age the Legion has found that it runs wild and. In many cases, the environment Is such that It becomes a gamin. The child welfare activities of the Legion are tbe most Important, next to the care of the disabled, on the Legions program of national service. 4X)-acr- Legion Men Will Protest to Protests against granting citizenship men convicted of various serious offenses will be made in future by tbe American Legion of Belmont county, Ohio.
