They LEGIOX 90TES By Wally Leonard, Commander "What's in it for n*r Occasionally, an eligible veteran Invited to join the American Legion asks, "What's in it for me?" The American Legion fias absolutely nothing to offer to the veteran who thinks onl/ of himself. The American Legion *s a service organization. It believes in serving others. It is consecrated to mutual helpfulness and to continued unselfish service to God, Country, and Fellow Man. American Legion membership means something to its members in the exact ratio to what they put into it It means nothing to those who only seek to take something out of their membership. The American Legion does offer every eligible veteran a "varsity position" on the greatest all- American Team -- a team with the best line defense against Communism and the best backttald offensive for Americanism.

Some people chuckled fhet Sonny Fisher rented a home recording machine to record the noise his flock of turkeys make. "I sent the recording to a buyer for, a super-market chain," Sonny , said. "I told them 'My turkeys speak for themselves--listen to this record!' They not only took Sty birds, but bought the record!" "Why did they- want the record?" I asked him. "Very simple," he says. "They're going to play it over the loud speakers in their stores--and then an announcer oa •nother record reminds the cuotomers that tnrkeys are pfeefifeS and a good buy." From where I sit.
