Legion Keeps Comrade Ritual Despite Reds Usage
Indianapolis April 18 Efforts to substitute buddy for comrade in the American Legion ritual failed at national headquarters amid anti Communism aims. The 4th district meeting will be Wednesday at Beverly Hills Post 407 96th and Longwood Drive. The April 25 meeting drew many old timers and the next will be May 24. Comrade Walter Stroh returns from Harvey hospital and welcomes visitors. A letter from Comrade Hampton at the Wisconsin Veterans Administration Home asks for correspondence. Cut Out the Political Shadow Boxing and Pay the Certificates Now argues for immediate cash payments on adjusted service certificates beyond 1945. The World War veterans death rate and economic recovery are cited. Pinochle will resume Friday night April 26 with a large crowd expected.
