Legion child welfare plan moves through states fast
The American Legion pushes rapid state by state setup of a child welfare service directed by John W. Gorby. By national convention in Omaha orders were issued to complete the system. 12 states already finished, 9 more in preliminary conferences, with New Hampshire hosting a cheer up meeting the first completed state unit. Plans include state and district committees to locate and aid needy children, arrange billet care, inspect homes, and supervise foster or adopted children. A 168 acre site near Pressmen's Home Tennessee was accepted for a Legion filler, subject to need. The national children welfare chair will be reduced to nine workers as vacancies develop. Three members from Forty and Right and from the Legion Auxiliary will serve as ex officio members.
