' Veteran call issued by VFW Dear Editor, The Uintah Basin has an approximate population of fifty thousand people, twenty thousand of which live in the Roosevelt area. Bearing in mind that more than 50 percent of the residents in the Basin are over 50 years of age, it is reasonable to assume that many of these residents are Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) having served for the United States Military overseas. At this present time, the VFW in Roosevelt has a membership of 59 personnel. This membership is a hardcore" group of active, caring men and women who take their involvement in the VFW very seriously. It has long been their desire to own a clubhouse in Roosevelt, take a primary role in the support and improvement of .the Uintah Basin, and actively participate in community activities in the area. To accomplish this goal, the VFW in the Uintah Basin is presently involved in a membership drive. For the fifty thousand residents in the Basin, only 166 people are members of the VFW. As an open invitation to all Residents of the Roosevelt area, if you are a qualified applicant to the. Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, we need you! Please contact Willie Bartley, the local At this Commander, it time, your membership dues are only 318.00 per year.' An individual can accomplish only so much.
