The post's membership is near the 700 mark. .Dr. Verden E. Hockett, a com mander in the navy, told assem bled Legionnaires he had trav eled 130,000 miles on one ship, making most of the world ports, . and fhat'not a single man had been Injured. Only casualty, he - told his comrades, was a poor sea gull which had its feathers shot off when it swooped too close to gunfire from the ship's batteries.

Crum, Oregon department commander, .of Hood River, attended the ses- sion and introduced Cot Elmer V. Woo ton, state director of selective service, who spoke on compulsory military training. ; , i;ou snouniGi ,;7 'if: I'.l mm , I 1 ONlheHOME FRONT Bt ISABEL CHILDS i After the red clay mud of the orchard,-the thick plumed moss beneath our feet was like a deep pile .xug, "You won't, find... any flowers in the- woods in winter," my companion, the owner of the woods, warned as we crashed through .the -. buck- brush : from which still hung an occasional white berry. ' ' . , j v..v;:-...-- ;; V v j -; "Wax berries" we called them in the days when the fragile-appearing . tough : little shrubs on which they grew, came ta our waists. Then, we thought , they were the loveliest things the dark forest offered for the tiny Chinese vase that fitted so well into the niche of the old secretary or for the black bean pot we kept on the hearth by a crackling wood fire. ! A "trio of ivory leaves which curled an inch or two above the moss drew us from our path, and a lew feet beyond it we discovered a bed .of dove grey toadstools. Beige shell-shaped fungus oc casionally dotted the forest floor. Deep rusty round fungus with sunken centers held pools of wat er, looking for all the world like miniature colorful birdbaths. Along a log beside us lay rip pies of creamy lace that melted beneath our touch. More sturdy were the scallops of golden em broidery upon the scarlet of a growth we could not budge from its bed of bark. ;-, "In the center of a clearing stood a shell which had once been the base of a tall tree in such a place we as children knew the dryads dwelt and even my practical companion's withering look was half - feigned when I suggested that he let it stand, terming it a "druld tree." V The pies I bake lack what it should take to make a good crust. because the green mixing bowl holds a piece of mossy wood where still flourish licorice fern. And every time I look at their rich color and fresh grace I think of the great moss-covered arm of an old oak where far above our heads a tropic growth )of licorice rippled in the breeze which brushed the woods that winter afternoon when we founds no flowers.
