5avs Credit For Bonu Should Go T< By HARRY P. COOPER, V 20th District Commander * The American Legion Department of North Carolina MESSAGE Bv the time this article is published most of you will have received your "Bonus'* and most of you will have paid it out on old debts, buying property, automobiles, etc., and in rul that you have a perfect right to do am so, however. I am just wondering how ph; many of you realize the long years of v/e fighting and planning it has taken sai The American Legon to finally bring sin a successful conclusion the payment ] of the bonus, and also how many of op? vou realize just what The American yes Legion has fought for and provided On in the long list of benefits that are hit today enjoyed by the Veterans, such wil as free hospitalization, compensation nig or pensions and care for the widows cht and orphans and dependent fathers 1 and mothers. arc Do you realize that all these bene- w" fits have taken years to accomplish w*and that The American Legion has kept constantly and continuously behind Congress through our trained Sh and experienced experts, and that mi. all we have accomplished has been P?u done with a membership of slightly pr< more than one million members, when val we should have had a membership he of four million. Does this seem just right and fair to allow one fourth of V the former service men to carry on your duties and burdens, both to yourselves and your families? And have you further realized that the J < benefits we enjoy in case misfortune i is overtakes us now or in the furture i Bo H an be taken away from us, for what- % T. ever may be voted for our benefit, to now easily be voted away from us in Jul the future if we do remain on guard Yo and keep our trained representatives leg ever alert at the National Capitol. col 9 Therefore, comrades, 1 feel it a i?r duty to you and your dependants, as 1118 well as myself, to give you this word me of warning and to suggest to you that "( cow while you have the money be come a member of this great organi- up Ization that has done so much for you. It makes no difference what Post of ^ the Legion you oin, just as long as | wWyou join somewhere, but Join The I ^ American Legion at some place NOW and do your duty toward yourself and your loved ones and INSURE * and GUARANTEE protection for the future. Old age is overtaking us all, we will need from this time on more ^protection than ever before, jcin pa MAN WANTED For Rawleigh Route of 600 families. Write today. Raw- ? Ikiqii. Dept.

Route sc rsday, July 2, 1936 11 For Three tiring Coming Year Washington, June 28.?With con>versy in the relief high command mposed, the administration sets rth on its third huge relief and blic works program this week. Plans for separate programs emlying more than 3,000,000 persons iring the 12 months beginning July wexe completed with announceent by Administrator Harry L. ipkins today that WPA wages would erage $52 a month. This rate was e same as that for March and out $2 more than at the start of e WPA program last fall. Some reductions in working hours ill result from formal institution of e prevailing hourly wage?to be :termined by local administrators? is intended to prevent a worker om earning more than the maxium allowed under the "security" age. The long disagreement between opkins and Secretary Ickes, Public forks Administration chief, headed ito settlement under impetus of a ingressional enactment. Ickes, uner the new relief measure, was eed from the necessity of asking opkins to approve new PWA pro>cts. Congress, in the session just ided, made a direct appropriation >r his agency. By the same token, opkins no longer can get extra oney to.run his larger WPA by relesting President Roosevelt to cantl PWA allotments. Taken From Ickes. Under the first $3,300,000,000 ap opriation for relief, nearly half a llion dollars was taken from Ickes finance Hopkins* Civil Works adinistration. Last summer a Tuning battle over the distribution of ie S4,000,000,000 work relief apropriation was settled when Hopns got $1,400,000,000 compared ith the $336,000,000 total for PWA on-federal anH vwoi uuaillg rojects. The President asked congress thi-* car for $1,500,000,000 specifically > continue WPA?with nothing for \VA. Amended to provide $1,425,00,000 allotted at the President's iscretion, the new appropriation still could have left PWA out in the old. Senate friends of PWA, howver, inserted an amendment authorsing Ickes to make $300,000,000 in rants to communities from proceeds f earlier loans. Accepted by the President, since le amendment did not require aditional appropriations the new sys?m freed Ickes from having to conince Hopkins that there was enough ilief labor in the particular commuity to build the project. Last year lore than 2,500 proects approved by ;kes were left stranded because of iopkins' veto. lrns and retraces 2-4 miles to interaction of 204. Left on 204 1.6 miles > Friendship school.
