Definitions of "100 percent Americanism"' are asked from members of American Legion by the National Americanism commission of the legion In a statement issued from national headquarters by Arthur Woods, chairman of the commission. "An effort on the part of our 1,000,000 members to define the term 100 percent Americanism would greatly help in adopting such a definition," said Mr. Woods. "At the recent meeting of the commission in Indianapolis it was decided that the commission

should try to define the term so as to make clear both to members of the legion and to others exactly what it is

that the American Legion has pledged itself to defend and support. We feel

that a great deal of good might be accomplished generally if we can adopt a definition of this term." The Americanism work of the commission and of legion posts is being carried on effectively in many places, according to Mr. Woods.

Are Swapping Addresses Wayne county is moving! There Is no doubt about it! But it isn't moving away. Directory clerks at the Richmond postoffice have discovered

that at least 50 Browns and Smiths

have swapped their addresses from Route "A" to "B" and vice versa. It all comes with the general spring moving habit and the fact that leases run out March 1. A newspapers circulation department had 40 addresses to change In one day. Changes have kept up steadily since the first day of March. Rural route carriers are having to learn their patron's names all over again, although in a good many cases it is the same old resident who lived on the route last year or the year before who has moved back on some other farm.
