There was no common policy or leadership,und nonmuideflortstoensurethatthau Who had fought and bled in the service of their country would receive a square deal for themselves and their depen- dents. As might be expected, the results Obtained were just about in proportion to the disunited eflorts put forth. Canadian Legion formed Finally, in 1925, a really strong at- teinpt was made to amalgamat'e all the various veterans' associations into one great organization at the Unity Confer- once held in Winnipeg. A few decided to remain apart, but the majorityâ€"in- cluding the largest of them all, the Great War Veterans’ Association .. agreed to unite,- and the result was the fortnation of The Canadian Legion. The Legion was immediately given official recognition as the Canadian member- ’ol‘ganization of the British Empire Ser- vice League, which in additiOn comprises the British Legion and similar eat-Ser- vice merr’ s organizations in Australia, new Zealand, South Africa, Newfound- land, India and many other parts of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Legion’s Strength In the succeeding years the Canadian Legion has increased its enrolled mean-'- bership to over 215,000 and is organized into more than 1,500 Commands, Branches and Auxiliaries located in practically every community in the Do- minion and many parts of the United states. - Its prestige and influence have increased correspondingly and have made possible many important achievec merits heneflting veterans of both the law and the present war. ._ ‘ Room for all in Legion Yes in unity there is strength, and it is to be hoped that the lesson learned by the veterans of the First Great War will not go unheeded by the fighting men of the: present war.

Legion Service Ever since the formation of the Le.- gion a free service has been provided to war veterans and their dependents covering problems of every description.

Following this is given the review of aims and purposes and a sketch of the; Legion’s services: ‘ Ii If space were available, a long list of accomplishments on behalf of veterans of the last war could be given. They would illustrate not only how efiective the work of the Legion has been. but also how closely, in their main features. the post-discharge problems of ex-Ser vice personnel of both wars are related. This is why the Legion can render the sameeflectiv’e service to ‘members‘ of the armed forces of this war, both before and after they become veterans. Recent Accomplishments Here are just a few of the more re- cent, important activities undertaken by the Legion, also some of the mea- sures benefiting men and women of the Navy, Army and Air Force, both while serving and after discharge. regarding which either Legion counsel was sought or direct Legion representations to the Government were effective: ' 1.

Is The Legion Political? -- The Legion memberShip being cam- posed of persons of all political faiths, the Legion constitution wisely bars par- tisan political activity and this provi- sion is rigidly honoured by all membbi‘s. The Legion, however, expresses itself freely about, and actively works for, tbe’ practical application of its- policies by every legitimate means available, in- cludng representations to legislative; bodies. ° 1 How is Veterans’ Legislation Influenced?

If enough of these protective foods is not eaten, poor physical development and certain forms of ill health result. ‘ . The protective foods include milk, butter, cheese, eggs (especially the yoke), vegetables (especially green veg- etables). liver and other glands, fat fish such as salmon herring, and mac- torch fish oils such as cod liver oil, and fresh Iruit. “The most important and .best of all these protective foods is milk because it is rich in practically all the factors necessary for health and. good- physique.
