' Born on December 1, 1861, near
Tallman, Mary Parker had
hatched the growth of Lion coun
ty from te time it was a sparsely
fettled community to the present
tohen it i one of the wealthiest
bounties In the state. Likewise,
he had eeen Albany grow from
hamlet of but three or -four
houses, to the beautiful city it is
oday. She had the experience of
iving in. the first county jail of
jjnn county, her . iatner bemg
frounty sheriff at the time. The jail
' building which was wrecked a
few years ago, was new at the
time and the Parker family were
the first to occupy the living por
tion of the edifice.
- Mrs. Parker was a daughter of
"Allen and Julia Parker, pioneers
f 1852. Mr. Parker, 'who served
a term in the Oregon legislature,
built the Red Crown mills here,
which are still in operation. Dur
ing his term as county sheriff, he
was also tax collector, and part
C-f his duties was the delivering
6f the tax money to the provision
al government, which at that time
was located in Oregon City. His
daughter often recalled how her
father would fill big buckskin
bags with the cash, swing them
cross the thorn of the saddle,;
rnount his horse, and leave for j
Oregon City, meantime his wife
nd famSy staying, nervously at
home until his return for fear
something might befall him on the
trip.

Of the city, Mrs. Parker later at

near Yaquina, and it was here a
year later, on September 11, 1880,
She became the bride of Virgil
Parker, a young man of Albany
to whom she had become engaged
before leaving Albany. The young
bride had spent many hours dur
ing that year, sewing on quilts,
bed and table linens, to bright
en the rew home to which she
would 'go. Unfortunately, a fire
destroyed her parents' home only
few days before her wedding;
and all her cherished possessions
were destroyed In the flames.
Immediately following her mar
riage, she and her husband, who
was a member of another pioneer
Parker family, but no relation,
returned to Albany, where Mrs.
Parker has resided continuously
since. Mr. Parker died here in
1904.
The deceased was a charter
tnember cf the Pythian Sisters, of
Which order she was a past most
excellent chief. She became a
.member of the Methodist church
during her 'teen years, and had
been active in all divisions of the
church work. .

Likes Serving
Army Chow
CAMP ADAIR Most exciting
event in his life was being drafted
in the army and the happiest day
was being assigned to cooks and
bakers school, declares Pvt. Jo
seph Dellaposta of Cincinnati,
now in a service battery of the
field artillery of the Trailblazer
division.
Food and entertainment for the
boys is his chief interest. He cooks
for them every day and is slaled
to entertain mem in one of the
post service clubs. He works in
one of the camp Pxs" nights
where he claims that he Is one
of the best salesmen on the post.
Back home in Cincinnati, where
he was widely known as "Yama
Yama," Pvt. Dellaposta managed
a grocery store and entertained
people wherever a crowd was
present. He became known by the
name becauseof his merging
three Italian songs into one and
using "Yama Yama" for a refrain.
The words mean "Let's jgo, let's
go!"
"Yama Yama" had just com
pleted serving lunch to his bat
tery in the field when inter
viewed. The Oregon hills in the
background were arrayed in their
autumn attire. Looking on them
he declared, "I don't think that
there's a better camp In the coun
try than Camp Adair. I'm having
a better time now than I did in
civilian life." As for the war he
stated, "With our equipment and
the spirit of our boys, we are a
cinch to win."
Pvt. Dellaposta hopes that after
the war is over the army will
keep him. If not, he plans to have
a restaurant of his own where he
can serve army chow to civilians.

Legion Starts
4 Viauby
To Save Gas
. .The American Legion In Ore
gon, in cooperation with the of
fice of; price administration, : has
launched a mileage conservation
program as one of its major: un
dertakings of the year, according
to announcement by W. W. For
dyce, . of Portland, state i chair
man. . - ,
Organized in the form of a "4
in 1 War Club, the Legion's pro
gram emphasizes the importance
of carr sharing among ; motorists
in order to conserve gasoline, rub
ber and motor vehicles "until vic
tory is won." ; J -;t v y:,
To assist the public in forming
ride-sharing arrangements, it is
contemplated that transportation
desks shall be conducted by local
war price and rationing boards,
under the jurisdiction of the
American Legion and American
Legion auxiliary, thus providing
a clearing house -where motorists
can share their .-vehicles with oth
ers. Through these facilities per
sons desiring rides, and motorists
desiring passengers, can file their
own requests and be matched up.
Ten gallons of gas saved in
your own town is just as impor
tant as ten gallons saved else
where' Chairman Fordyce point
ed out in his announcement sent
to local posts of the Legion
throughout Oregon. "When ra
tion units were-cut from four
gallons to three gallons, the needs
of the army and navy in , the fast
developing theatre of war were
greater than the supply."
Participants in the "4 in 1 Club"
are pledged to use their cars for
necessary driving only, to observe
the 35 mile an hour speed limit,
to keep tires properly inflated
and avoid abuse of tires, to be at
work every day and to give as
much energy to that work as pos
sible, and to place patriotism and
respect for fighting fellow Amer
icans above individual interests.
