' The nost is the imnortant factor In
I lie development of the American Legion.
This is the slogan of the Philadel
phia county committee.
Vhatepr is undertaken
in this city will be prim
arily in the interest of
the scventj -eight posts
in the county.
There hai been tome
nnnrrhpnsion on the
part of some individual members of
popts as to the function of the county
organization. The county officiate feel
that, ns the committee is composed of
representatives of the various posts, it
can properly act in the best interest of
the posts. And it is its intention so to
Adn. .Tust ns the state and national or-
" gerilzations nrc servants of tho Legion
posts, so the county committee v ill
seek ocly to serve them.
It Is proposed to establish shortly a
Jegul aid committee. This committee
shpuld be of real assistance to the posts
of tho clty. Each post will have a
legal aid officer, nnd the committee will
eo-operate with these post officers. It
will enlarge the bcopo and influence of
Legion work in this important field in
Philadelphia. Such a committee can
coordinate the efforts of the posts in
this dircctiou. Its personnel will be
selected carefully, so that it will be
come an effective Legion agenrj.
Its work will bo correlated with a
similar state committee, and caturallj
concern itbelf only with local matters.
Pittsburgh has formed a county com-
(.tnlttec silnilar to tho one which is now
permanently organized in Philadelphia.
In the "Smoky City" meetings are held
every two weeks, instead of once a
month, as is the case in Philadelphia.
Permanent headquarters lmto been
offered to Post 315 by Colonel Millard
D. Brown, of the Pirsl Infantry, N. (J.
P Thcso hcaduartcrs, according to
Post Commander David 11. Slmpvon,
will be located on the third llnor of the
First Regiment Armory, Ilroiul and
Callow hill streets.
The Legion members will have nit the
prhileges of a man in the nctho com
mand of the regiment. The regimental
swimming pool, for example, will be
open to the legionaries of this post. It
will be necessary onl that the post fur
nish the furniture nnd equipment for
thp rooms it will oceup in the nrmory.
Most of the membership of Post 315
comes from the 100th Regiment. There
nre now (100 members in the post, mak
ing it one of the city's leadeis.
Plans hmo neen completed for tlie
victory dance to be ghen by Post 115
at the Second Regiment Atmory on
Wednesday, Februnrv 11. The post is
endeavoring tornise $5000 for the pur
pose of erecting a suitable memorial
to the two men in whose memory the
post was turned. Herman II. Merlin is
the dance finance officer.
Franklin D'Oller. nntional com
mander of the American Legion, who is
passing the holidajs with his family at
Rherton, N. .1., will address the Penn
sjhnniu State Rankers' Association at
the licucvue btrattoril net Tuesday
night.
