For instance, he said that this year the Legion is establishing a memorial at state headquarters, at Bloomington, and the post in the state of Illinois performing the most meritorious work for its respective community, will be cited for that work by the placing of a bronze plaque in the memorial build- ing. He said the character of the civic work which the various posts are do- ing is rendering police protection in such communities where such protec- tion does not exist; fostering and di- recting boy scout activities; conduct- ing Americanization instruction for foreigners; performing their naturaliz- ation ceremonies; stressing American history instruction in the schools; pa- triotism and work of similar character. The orphanage for children of war veterans, sponsored by the Legion, at Normal, he said is now taking care of over two hundred children. The goal of 70,000 members set by the state of Illinois would make of Illinois the largest state department in the country, State Commander Wat- kins said. Winnetka post, in addition to the twelve new members which it has en- rolled this week, also reports that over seventy percent of its old members have already paid their dues for the coming year.
