The corps are being organized by American Legion posts throughout the country as part of the legion's nation-widprogram of community service. Requests for Information on methods of organizing disaster relief corps are being received at national headquarters of the Legion In Indianapolis, Ind., from a large number of local Legion posts. A plan of organization which has been worked out from the experiences of Legion posts In the disasters of the last eight years, Is recommended to them by the national organization. The plan calls for the formation of a corps of four units, a patrol unit, a transportation unit, a medical unit and a supply unit. The patrol unit. In cuse of emergency, will do guard duty, protecting property from loot-ers- u It will also help turn back the sightseers who always pour Into a disaster-stricke- n community rnd hinder relief work. The transportation unit will mobilize and operate the'autontobiles and motor trucks which are needed. The work of hauling supplies, transporting refugees and bringing in relief workers will be done by this unit. The medical unit will give first-a- id to the Injured, convey them to hospitals and look after health conditions among the refugees.

Does the largest allowance offered mean the best deal for me? e . to this unit. Here are basic facts: 1 2 3 Your used car has seemingly different values because competitive dealers are bidding to sell you a new car. Your used car has only one fundamental basis of value: what the' dealer who accepts it in trade can get for it in the used car market. The largest trade-i- n allowance which is offered on your used car is not necessarily the best deal for you. Sometimes it is; but sometimes it is not. 4 5 An excessive allowance may mean that you are paying an excessive price for the new car in comparison with its real value. Judge the merits of the new car in comparison with its price, including all delivery and finance charges. Then weigh any difference in allowance offered on your used car. When you are ready to trade-i- n your present car, remember that after all you are making a purchase and not a sale. Y ou are buying a new car and simply applying your present car as a credit toward the purchase price of the new car. The supply unit will prepnre and distribute food to the workers and refugees, and provide clothing nnd shelter for the refugees. The women's auxiliary of the post Is assigned to this unit.
