Show Legion Expects Great Help From Auxiliary With The American Legion facing what its leaders consider the most strenuous days in its thirty-three years of patriotic service, it is looking to the American Am-erican Legion Auxiliary for important im-portant help, according to Wm. Murdock Commander of Basin Post No. 64. Commander Murdock asked all members of the Legion to urg the women of their families to enroll in the Auxiliary to add strength to the Legion for the activities of 1953. He said: "The American Legion, as the strongest organization of war-experienced war-experienced civilians in the nation, faces heavy responsibilities responsi-bilities in these critical days. We cannot tell what tasks we may be called upon to preform, but we must be ready with the greatest strength we can muster. The Legion's service to community, com-munity, state and nation may be put to severe tests during the coming year. "Always in the past we have depended upon the women of our American Legion Auxiliary to' help us in all of our activities. Their help has been of the highest high-est value in carrying out the j Legion's work for the disabled veterans and their families, for the progress of our community and for the security of t h e. nation. Now. it appears, we will have to ask our Auxiliary women for more help than ever before. "Therefore, I am asking all members of the Legion to urge the eligible women in their families to enroll in the American Ameri-can Legion Auxiliary. I am sure these women will enjoy serving in the Auxiliary, side by side with their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers in the Leg-ion. There is much they can do at this time for this country of ours and for those who have defended it against its enemies. The Legion needs them, and America needs them." |
