A personal canvass of all gold star mothers and relatives of those who died in service will be made in every community where there is a iLegion post and they will be fully informed of the means taken by the swindlers to obtain money. One such confidence confi-dence man already has been arrested after he had sent a telegram to a mother in the name -of her missing son, asking for funds. Offers to provide pro-vide details of soldiers' deaths and I information as to the location of their graves for payment are the usual lure held out by the swindlers. |
