welcome when Roy Boldt appeared

his Mechanized Division.
Harry Melton, who came to Western
Oregon to get the Alkali dust and sage

CHAPTER No. 16— GRANTS PASS
Our chapter is one of the youngest
in the State Association. We have over
60 members, and our meetings are al
ternated between Medford and Grants
Pass.
The regular monthly meeting was
held at Grants Pass, and was well at
tended. A new president and vice pre
sident were elected. This was necessi
tated by the inability of our former
president, Mr. James Bedingfield, to
attend meetings and also by the en
listment of W alter V. Poole, vice presi
dent, in the U.S. Navy. Paul Robertson
was elected president. Carol Converse
vice president.
We .have one veteran of World War
I and one of World War II in our
Chapter, the latter is Mr. Rulo Roberts,
who has been honorably discharged
from the Army.
We adopted a constitution and By
laws at our last meeting.
The State must improve the effec
tiveness of their administration if they
do not wish to lose still further in the
struggle for power with the Federal
Government. (W. B. Graves, “Ameri
can State Government”)
