Show ;: the endowment :: :: fund :: TN ACCEPTING an invitation " - to serve on the American Le- .. glon honorary committee to V raise a $5,000,000 endowment .. fund for disabled veterans and orphans of the World war, John .. Barton Payne, national chair- " .. man of the American Red Cross, wrote : "The American Legion, in set- " ting out to raise an endowment fund for Its work with war or- " phans and disabled veterans, !! has undertaken a task near te I! the hearts of all true Ameri- .. cans. The appeal of the child and the disabled is a universal .. one and when this appeal has !! blended with it the thought of " sacrifice for the country's wel- .. fare, the response should be " prompt and sufficient. "The American Legion's child welfare program Is conceived in accordance with the most pro- '. '. gressive and sound principles on . . the care of children. Seeking to keep these children in their own .. or' foster homes where they may " have the kindly personal touch of their own mother or foster " .. mother Is of Immense lmpor- " tance to these future citizens. " "I trust that the endownent T fund campaign will be success- ful and that the American Le- gion will be able to carry through to successful conclusion this fine program of service that .. has been inaugurated."
