MANDAN DAILY PIONEER TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1928 PAGE SEVEN AID OF DISABLED VETERANS CHIEF CARE OF LEGION STATE COMMANDER J. K. KENNELLY BACK FROM LEGION CONFERENCE John K. Kennelly, state commander of the American Legion, returned today from Indianapolis where with State Adjutant Jack Williams, Fargo, he attended the conference of department commanders and adjutants called by National Commander Paul V. Mcnu*tt.
Forty-eight state departments, and six foreign or territorial departments were represented at the national meeting. Department commanders and adjutants of the American Legion from France, Italy, Canada, Alaska, Mexico and Hawaii were present. "The conference was concerned chiefly with the five fold national program of the American Legion. The five branches of activity into which the American Legion will throw all its efforts are those of aiding the disabled veterans of the World War, of child welfare work, of Americanization, of giving the Legion's full supand port of to the the Navy Universal building draft," program, stated Commander Kennelly. All efforts will be made by the American Legion to gain further legislation for disabled veterans, to promote hospitalization and vocational educational work and to give the disabled veteran every advantage possible." The child welfare work will deal largely with the care of orphaned children whose parents served their country in war and who died in such service or since that time.
Education will be stressed and legislation in child welfare work encouraged. The program of promoting Americanism will include all methods of teaching that go to make better citizens and to instill principles of Americanism in every man, woman and child. The full Legion support of the present navy building program is one in accord with the American Legion's general policy of keeping America a war free nation. The universal draft is one of the American Legion's chief planks in the advocating of a strong defense, said Commander Kennelly. State Commander Kennelly and Adjutant Williams also attended the International Livestock Show and the National Air Show which were in pr-0 gress in Chicago last week.
