Post No. 6 Expects 150 Members
by End of Week
A special meeting of Hillsboro
Post No. 6, The American Le
gion, was held last Friday eve
ning, May 14, in the circuit court
room. The membership push dur
ing Legion Week, May 17-22.
was given new impetus. A large
number of letters has been sent
out to prospective members ur
ging them to join the American
Legion. Replies are coming in
every day both from the new
members themselves and from
the old members who are work
ing hard to put the drive over.
Indications are that Hillsboro
Post will number more than 150
before the close of the week.
Special ft) rlu cement are offered
to ex-service men in the fact that
the initiation fee will not be col
lected, and the yearly dues of $'2
will place a member in good
standing for the year 1920, if the
application is received this week.
This low price in securing the
benefits and privileges of Legion
mi mbership should appeal to a
large number of men.
An added feature of the eve
ning was the presentation of the'
Government insurance data by
Cliff Wood, of Portland, who ex
plained the various policy plans
and gave many helpful sugges
tions to men who are thinking of
reinstating. Since reinstatement
will lie nnposstole atler July 1st
of this year, the men are now
anxiously inquiring about the in
surance before their last chance
slips away.
Officers for the -oming year
were elected as follows: Com
mander, Neal C. Jamison; Vice
Commander, Alfred H. Morgan;
Adjutant. Zenas A. Olson, re
elected; Finance Officer, Alvin
Hoffman; Historian, Ronald C.
Yaught; .Executive Committee,
Elmer Batehelder, Lawrence
Taggart, Wilbur Dillon.
Ice cream and smokes were
then passed and the members
proceeded to close the meeting
in a jolly wgy.
The Department Commander,
W. B. Follett, of Portland, has
called the attention of all posts
throughout Oregon to the lack
of emphasis on the educational
bill bearing ballot title fll2. The
bill passed a year ago by popu
lar vote has yielded insufficient
funds to provide educational a'id
to all the service men who have
applieiL, and the money is ex
hausted. Unless the bill "passes
on May 21, not more than one
half of the service men desiring
aid will be able to secure it next
year. STnce a large number of
Washington County boys will be
included in this number, it is cer
tain that the people, having voted
to thus help the men who served
their country, will nt this election
vote to provide fully this aid.
K. P. CONVENTION
The District Convention of
Knights of Pythias Lodges will

land. After the parade there

cellors. Following the public program
the convention will meet in the K.

as may come before the conven
tion. Come and enjoy the music and
