14 stake in the functioning of the OSEA. T H E O.S.E.A. has already served to protect the interest of state employees, as well as to improve their lot. A large and united group w ith decent and fair objectives and a reputation "for honest dealing, will certainly stand as a bul wark against abuses that m ight arise. A Democratic Group The O.S.E.A. is- not controlled or dominated by any clique. The policies of the association are adopted in free and open debate at the -council meet ings. The execution of these policies is delegated to an elected Board of Direc tors. The members of this board have a delicate but heavy responsibility. It is up to them during their term of office to determine the manner in which we strive to attain our objectives. If the Board does not function as the majority thinks it should, members can replace those officers at any, election. The point is any member who attends, a chapter meeting can assist in forming the poli cies of the O.S.E.A. This is an oppor tunity which no state employee should miss.- When this« organization was first started thérè was an underlying thought in the mirids of those who pioneered. If the employees’ case was to be pre sented to administrative .heads, and to the public, no one was better prepared to present that case than the employees themselves. New members, new ideas, and the drive that conies, w ith them are welcomed into thè Association. nual meeting of the society in New York City recently and formal presen tation will be made to Mr. Boardman this spring. - For the last 18 years Mr. Boardman, as state parks superintendent, has been supervising the development of the fa>, mous Oregon parks/ not only along the coast but in every part of the state. These parks have been one of the pri mary factors in winning Oregon na tional distinction as a home and vaca tion land of beauty. From 1917 to 1929, Mr. Boardman worked for the Oregon State Highway Commission in other capacities.’ O UR ADVERTISEM ENT SPECIALIST By CECIL HEAD In the person of Leo Ordway, Oregon State Highway D epartm ent road mag net operator, the Association, has a staunch supporter and active member. ■Leo’s work carries him over the entire state during the summer season and »•gives him an unusual opportunity to speak a good word for us as he gets around.
