The Kansas department of the American Amer-ican Legion Auxiliary has Issued a bulletin bul-letin to each unit in the state eontaiu-ng eontaiu-ng a clever little conversational sketch, illustrating tlie importance of keeping one's credit clear with the auxiliary. The heroine of the sketch is Mrs. "Iiuu Member," who In conversation with her friend, Mrs, "De Lluquent," endeavors to bring home the advisability of paying pay-ing dues in tlie auxiliary for 1923. "Mrs. Tma Member': I'm so proud of my new auxiliary membership card; you will notice thut It bears the date, 1923. I always pay my dues a little la advance of the now year, In order to keep up with tho times. This little card means much to me. It commemorates commem-orates the gallant service of four millions mil-lions of valiant young Americans ia the great war; It breathes the spirit of true democracy ; it speaks to me of service for those who jeopardized their lives, that I might remain at home la peace and safety. In short, I believe In the doctrine of leglonlsni." "Mrs. 'De LInquent' : You are quite right. I am beginning to see, In a new light, the great opportunities for service serv-ice that are open to me through my membership In the American Legion Auxiliary. Instead of paying up my membership fees promptly at the beginning be-ginning of this year, I waited until the middle of the summer. But tills shall not happen again. How can I get a membership card for 1923, right away?" "Mrs. 'Ima Member' : Consult Miss 'Do It,' the unit secretary, Immediately; Immediate-ly; you will be asked to pay 75 cents department and national dues, plus the amount of local dues determined by the unit. Upon receipt of dues at the department office In Topeka, you will be issued a 1923 card. And do you know, they say that two Legion posts in the state have already remitted remit-ted to the Topeka office for their entlra membership. So you see, if we are eo Ing to 'keep step' with the boys, wa must get busy." "Mrs. 'De LInquent' : How very simple. sim-ple. Y'ou know I have a family of seven sisters and they are all in arrears ar-rears with their dues. I shall use aiy Influence to the utmost to see that we are graduated from the 'delinquent' class before the next auxiliary meeting." |
