vote his spare time in behalf of the
Newport Chapter. Mr. Wells’ resigna
tion was accepted and our Section
Foreman, O tto Horton of Sweet Home,
was selected to serve out his unexpired
term.
Coffee, cake and ice cream was
served by the entertainment committee
from Albany.
Near the end of the meeting Bill
Mespelt came forward and meekly in
quired as to his chances of obtaining a
duplicate membership card. Upon ques
tioning, it seemed that Bill had wan
dered off to the Big Town in quest
of some new liniment for his rheuma
tism. While there some Portland slicker
had slyly but successfully relieved him
of his billfold, containing his member
ship card and other valuables. His ra
tion book, driver’s license, hospital card
and his OSEA membership card have
all been duplicated at this time and
last seen, Bill was tearing madly around
town trying to find someone that would
issue him duplicate greenbacks to re
place those stolen with his wallet. We
do not print this at Bill’s request, but
as a warning to other members who
might stray from their home pastures.
Bill says those fellows are so beastly
clever that this could happen to any
one who happens to have too much
faith in their fellow man.
