Show TO BUILD WOMEN'S AUXILIARY Legion Administrative Machinery to Be Used in Safely Launching the Branch Organization. Assurance that the administrative machinery of the American Legion will be used without stint in an effort to build up the Women's auxiliary, has been given by National Commander Comman-der F. W. Galbraith, Jr. It is expected expect-ed that the auxiliary will take charge of Its' own destinies next, spring, with the holding of the first national convention con-vention of the women's units. "All doubts and misgivings in regard to the future of the Women's auxiliary of the American Legion were removed, and a system of orderly expansion in state departments and a national organization or-ganization was provided for by the Cleveland convention," announced Mr. Galbraith. "We propose. to offer the aid of our organization in building up the auxiliary, aux-iliary, but we are not going to meddle with its policies so long as our recognized rec-ognized ideals and purpeses are carried car-ried out. The Cleveland convention voted to let the women swim without water wings. It authorized state executive exec-utive committees of the Legion to cull state conventions and to establish department de-partment organizations of the auxiliary, auxil-iary, killing the rule which made necessary nec-essary the establishment of a total of units equivalent to 50 per cent of the number of posts in the department." |
