The same evening at 8:00 at the armory the unit and post have their regular meetings. This next Tuesday will be the Christmas party with a most inter esting program by local tnlent. Each member will bring gifts of toys or something for un older boy or girl and raisins or jello for the baskets to be packed the next day. There will be about 70 baskets sent out this year. Tach will con tain food and gilts. Thursday night the Legion and auxiliary met at the building just north of George Caskey's garage to mend toyt for all the youngsters who will receive them, from vari ous local sources. Tho American Legion took this task upon them selves as a community service. Toys, however, will bo divided and anyone who will may help mend these. We do most heartily thank those who have given throe. The auxiliary and the Junior Women's club are dressing dolls. The Junior auxiliary has also dressed a num ber. Do you like to see tables full of interesting gifts? ion should see the gift shop at the veterans' hos pital! It has the most intriguing gifts! There a veteran may choose a gift for son, daughter or wife. The American Legion auxiliary sponsors this gift shop and Mrs. Irvin RIegel. department hospital chairman, has arranged the gifts in a most attractive manner. You will see hand-embroidered pillow slips, perfume, socks, ties, mufflers, pic tures, vanity sets, jewelry, all the things yon would choose for your self as gifts. The locnl unit and those of southern Oregon gave these gifts. They are not sold. There Is also a gift shop nt the sale In tho hack of Roy Bellows' store. This sale for want of a bet ter name, is called a rummage sale, but here one may find gift items, shrubs, clothing and shoes. These sell for a very nomlnnl price, but the sum received in turn helps carry on the vast program of Vmp qua unit. You may call 073 or 357-R if you have clothing for us. We thank those who have given so gen erously. A happy time was given the vet erans at the facility on Wednesday night when another party was giv en them by Tmpqua unit. The town's women are most gracious in attending these, in fnct we believe they enjoy them as much as the men. Tho Cray Tidies have- also helped bring an hour's cheer hy at tending most regularly, Friday the Eugene group who rame down reported a hnppy day. There were two carloads. They visited the shops and later attended the birthday party in the afternoon. This Is a monthly event, a party being held for all those having birthdavs in that month. On Monday evening nt 7:30 the Junior auxiliary will hold its regu lar meeting. All daughters of vet- erans are most cordially invited to attend. This group la as yet "baby" nnd yet a most lusty and interesting one. Their work coin cides with that of the senior group. Thev have proven a helping hand to all auxiliaries wherever they have been formed. Portland has re ceived national honors for their outstanding progrnm of activities. This need not be heavy, for all the group is yet attending school. It does give opportunity for girls to do social service acts and we be lieve helps the girl as well ns the senior group and those less for tunate. Thev also carry on an ex tensive patriotic program.
