Compensation (or Flight Inconveniences

Because of the volume of air traffic these days, chances are that sooner or later you will run into some inconveniences. Here is a list of your rights on domestic flights and all flights leaving the United States. Overbooking: If you're bumped, have a Confirmed ticket, and have turned up at the gate on time, the airline must compensate you in one of two ways: • For involuntary bumping, you will get a "denied boarding compensation" ranging from $37.50 to $200, providing the line can get you to your destina- tion within two hours of your original flight (four hours on international MEDICAL flights) . For longer delays, the compensation doubles. • If, on the other hand, you agree to be bumped, the airline will negotiate your compensation; you bargain for the best penalty you can get. FILE Baggage: The maximum that airlines will pay for lost, delayed or damaged baggage on domestic flights is $750. If your possessions are worth more than concise up-to-date information that, it may be wise to buy extra insurance. Also important, don't leave the on effective treatment of airport without reporting your loss (keep a copy of the report) common medical problems For baggage that's gone for good, the airline will try to negotiate a settle- ment on depreciated value.

~~Legion Helps All of America s Youth~~

Too Little Done For Too Few Kids In 1925, Legionnaires began providing assistance to individual youngsters on a case-by-case basis through the organization's Children & Youth programs. Many grew to feel the programs were too narrow; a case of doing too little for too few deserving children. As a result, the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation was founded in 1954 to "add to man's knowledge of children and youth through the support of research in a number of fields and to make existing knowledge more effective through wider distribution." To accomplish these goals, the foundation each year provides one- year grants to non-profit, tax-exempt institutions and organizations pursuing programs, "that must have the potential of helping children nationally," according to foundation executive secretary Paul R. Frin- sthal. The deadline for applications from institutions to the foundation this tral Missouri State University to de- nated nationally to appropriate year is March 31, 1980. velop a program examining student agencies and institutions.

But there are other important ways individual Legionnaires can help the foundation. Does your community serve as home for organizations or institutions that might appropriately benefit from a foundation grant? Do they know of the Legion's program and what must be done to apply? If you know of such an organization that is focusing on preventive rather than reactive programs on child welfare, for example, why not check with them? Members of Black River, NY's William C.
