LEGION IDEA LIKE THAT OF WASHINGTON (Continued from rage One) can Legion today is that of rehabili tation of our veternns of the World war.

' " 'It is clearly the duty of the govern ment to care for its disabled veterans. It is not a state responsibility, it is an obligation of the federal govern menf, said Washington in one of his addresses. The American Legion believes In adequate national defense In peace times as well as In times of war. Pre pared ness for war d lscourages war. That was also Washington's belief. "The American Legion's program of Americanism with education of the youth of the nation to a sublime atti tude of good citizenship Is another of Washington's great ideas brought strongly forward again down through the times." Sid Burleigh, prominent attorney and legionnaire, the other principal speaker of tho program, spoke of the American Legion as the greatest and largest -orgapizationof Its kind the world has ever known.

"Decent moral character and an honorable discharge from the United states army after time of servlco in the World war. "The American Legion makes no distinction In lta membership be tween rank or service. The highest ranking general is on parallel with he who served no higher than pri vate. The man who was allowed to right oversoas stands no higher than the man, willing but not so fortunate to get across. "Thero are deopor reasons for the American Legion than comradeship and play In which the publlo usually sees them at conventions, gatherings and the like. "Though the purposes of the Am erican Legion are many and varied from time to time, tho real Ideals of the organization are found In the preamble to Its constitution which starts out 'For God and Coun try . . ."' Fred Reed, commander of La Grande post No. 44 of the American Legion, Introduced the speakers. In teresting also was the Introduction of members of the drum and bugle corps of the local post, champions of the state, by Harley Richardson. The corps, according to this speaker, was organized In 1023 under the leader-1 shlo of Ray Williams, since tnat time It has attended every state con- j ventlon In the 10 years and, though It did not win the state championship i until last year, has always stood high. At the national convention of the American Legion at Portland two years ago It ranked slxtn place in competition with scores of corps from all over the United States. It has traveled In Its ten years nearly 11. 000 miles, carrying the name of La Grande to all parte of the state and northwest.

Complimentary tickets are being distributed by the Perkins Motor company under whose auspices the local showings are being held. The story of "These Thirty Years' begins 30 years ago In the town of Brook field. Dave Haines and his aged mother see their farm and everything they own put 'on the auction block to satisfy a greedy mortgage holder. During the auction, however, Dave becomes inspired by a "horseless car riage seen tearing down a rutted country road at the neck-breakin' sped of 20 miles per hour." He sees a great future In automobiles and wants Jed Travers, local livery stable owner, to go Into business with him. Jed withholds his decision until Dave proves what his "carriage" can do In a cross-country race with a horse. Success favors Dave. He wins the race also the hand of May Lar- combc. They have a son, Bob, who becomes a problem in later life for he favors playing to working, and spends his 'dad's" money gambling on the stock market. The "crash" of 1920 catches Bob. He loses everything Including his girl, Ann Bailey, who ; has been disgusted with him f or some time. Jed, the partner of Dave, sticks by Bob, saves his life on one occasion, and filially inspires him to become the man his dad, and Ann, would like him to be. The players featured In "These Thirty Years I" Include David Morris, who played In "Come Easy," "Young Sinners." "Cradle Snotchers," and "In the Best of Families"; K. Elmo Lowe, j who played the lead in "There's Al- i ways Juliet," and other well known plays; Donald McDonald, who played the leads in "Left Bank" and "Here Today," and took port in "Forsaking All Others" featuring Tallulah'Bank-1 head; Frederick Forrester, who played the father In "Animal Kingdom." Alice John, who playa the part of "Mom" Haines In "These Thirty Years" has played for the Theater Guild, Arthur Hopkins, and Charles Frohman.
