ASTORIA CHAPTER No. 8
At its January meeting Astoria
Chapter No. 8 passed a resolution re
questing our OSEA headquarters in
Salem for permission to publish a
news item in all local newspapers to
the effect that State employees^ of
Clatsop and Columbia are opposed to
legislative Bill Number 27 which
would abolish thBLuthorltyf'pf/’the
Civil Service Commission over em
ployment and promotion of all state
employees.
Fourteen new members were ac
quired by our Chapter during Janu
ary, which gives iS b e tte r ’than 90%
of the total potential employee-prq§p
pects for OSEA in this area.
Our Star Reporter, Clarence Asher
has been ill and in Good Samaritan
hospital in Portland — he is well
known and well liked throughout this
area. ’Our best wishes fdr^a speedy
recovery!
MARION CHAPTER No. 18
Plans for fun-packed entertainment
throughout 1951 have been formulated
by the Entertainment I ¡Committee of
our Chapter — movies,;-pot luck din
ner, dancing, and amateur show are
only a part of the agenda. Member
ship participation with a bang!
Since the beginning of the current
legislative session, our Chapter has
been well posted on action taken on
any bill which would be of immediate
concern' to all State employees-1 and
particularly to those'having member
ship in OSEA.
Marion Chapter 18 ;'is tentatively
planning an “inquiring reporter” take-1
off to obtain the actual reaction of the
employee who isymot a member of
OSEA and the employee who might
become a member of OSEA. The re
sults should be interesting?— perhaps
we will learn just what can be done
to make a bigger and better Chapter—
what can be done to obtain greater
membership— what can we do to back
up OSEA 100%. This section will be
