Last meeting we welcomed a new
member, George Trapolis, into our
chapter. With all the backslapping and
hand shakings, we didn’t know quite
all that was going on, but not wanting
to take any chances we went over and
shook hands too. Mr. Trapolis is the
head representative of the Liquor Com
mission in Roseburg. No kidding
though, George, we are glad to have
you.
Lloyd Wells, Traffic Count Supervi
sor for this district, is passing out the
cigars—it’s a boy. Congratulations,
Lloyd!
Buck Barnhart, Transitman, recently
came down here in the banana belt,
where he is getting one of those tans
that don’t wash off.
Pop Nash’s oil crew and Leo Kerber’s
paving gang have helped liven things
up down this way lately.

Lester Blickenstaff, Bend, mountain
goat, spent his vacation along the Sky
line Trail, camping near Elk Lake.
Summer departed with a bang here
abouts with electric storms and heavy
rains. In Central Oregon it is a re
minder that soon frost will delight the
children with designs upon the win
dowpanes and perhaps one may try that
new electric iron on a water pipe.
Our secretary, Marguerite Elder, has
reportedly again excursioned to East
ern Oregon and returned by air,
"thrilled stiff” with the ride.
Your correspondent has encountered
