Legion funds set aside for veterans and orphans program
Trustees of the Knights of Columbus earmark 75000 to the American Legion rehabilitation work for the current year while the Legion endowment fund is raised to ensure ongoing support. National Adjutant Russell Creviston cites 25000 pledges from Henry and the Party and Hight for child welfare, to be financed partly from endowment income. The gifts, aiding disabled veterans and orphans, will allow expansion and ensure services continue through 1926 and beyond via a 5 million endowment drive.
