Show : 1 LEGION MEMBERSHIP EX-GOVEKNOR- WILLIAM E. GLASSCOCK, of West j Virginia, In a communication to Legion officials of Morgautown endorsing Ajnerlcan Legion week there, said of the Legion: "I consider It the highest privilege accorded any young American to belong to the American Amer-ican Legion. It Is an honor to be eligible to membership in this organization of service men. I have never been able to understand under-stand why any young man who Is entitled to membership Is not an active member of some post of the Legion. I am sure that there are many of us who are not eligible to membership who would esteem it a high honor to be a member of the Legion. The good yon cun do as an organization organiza-tion can hardly be estimated and it seems to me that every ex-service man owes it to himself him-self and his comrades, and especially es-pecially his disabled and mors unfortunate comrades, to pluto himself in the best' possible position po-sition for service. But he cannot can-not occupy that position unless and until he unites with his comrades in a strong virile organization or-ganization dedicated to the noble purposes promulgated by the American Legion and for which t exists."
