OUR SLOGAN: KEEP YOUR EYE ON E S T A C A D A ! Community Cooperation astern (Ularkatnaa N rut® Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 14, N umber 17 The council meeting: last Tues day night, evoked a great deal of interest, as the question of clos ing public dances at midnight, was to be decided. In order to accommodate the unusual attend ance. it took place in the audi torium of the High School. Both sides were well represented the local post of ‘the Amenican Le gion and the Artisans being the chief opponents. All the council- men were present. The discus sion waxed warm. The princi pal speakers against the measure were R. Ludlow, Dr. McCall and Sylvester Lawrence, while Mrs. Ida Holder. Supt. F. E. Burns, Rev. J. C. Dunlop supported it. In the heat of argument some verbal castigation was delivered by the opponents to the propo nents. When the vote of the council w’as taken, four voted for it and one against. Then the Carl Douglas Post rose mag nificently to the occasion and publicly declared that it submit- to the judgment of the council and would obey the law, and even close the dance scheduled for the 22d at midnight, altho the law would not be in effect at that time. It also apologized for any ill advised remarks made in the heat of the moment This declaration and apology are pub lished on this page, in another column. We predict by so doing the Post has established itself in the community, and will not fail for enthusiastic support when ever it needs it. It was a fine example of loyalty and worthy of the name “American Legion.” If it lost its point it carried off honors. J u d g e W o o ster S. E. Wooster who was elected justice of the peace at the last election for district No. 14, has qualified and is ready to function in that office. The state legislature is now on with ninety members and plenty of work ahead of it. i E stacada , O regon , T hursday , J anuary 13, 1921 A n A p o lo g y S p rin g w a ter N ew s In the last issue of this paper appeared a resolution adopted by the American Legion Post of Es tacada, as being opposed to any action by the city council in clos ing the all night dances. Since then, in the good judgment of the city council an ordinance was passed closing all public dances at midnight, the American Le gion wishes to assure the public and the city council that this or ganization will bend every effort to help enforce this measure. The American Legion also de sires publicly to apologize for statements made in the heat of debate, relating to some of the citizens and organizations of this community, particularly th e the churches and the Rev. J. F. Dunlop. It also wishes to be un derstood that it fully appreciates ánd recognizes the invaluable services of some of the men in this community during the war, believing that their part was fully as worthy and important as that of the men in uniform. We wish to thank the commu nity for their expressions of co operation at this time. And also add that our dance on the eve ning of the 22nd shall be closed at midnight in compliance with the action of the council. The above redounds great cred it to the Carl Douglass Post and will serve to strengthen the es teem it enjoys in the community. By cheerful compliance with the law its members set a most nota ble example to all.—Ed. N ew s . The two children of Mrs. Eth el Julian are down with measles.

Estacada will thus be favored above larger towns and commu nities. These films contain 5,000 feet and are the selected clip pings out of a million feet. They were taken by the U. S. Signal corps on the battle fronts in France and are no faked up productions. Actual occurences will be seen in these films en titled, “ Flashes of Action,” and an idea of what warfare is in reality, will be gained as is im possible from mere description. Remember the date, Friday, Jan. 18, at 3:30 p. m. and 7 and 9. Admission 50 and 25 cents. B asket Ball M atch Salem High defeated the Es- tacada quintet for the se^pnd time, on the Estacada floor Wed- nesday night. The boys did not get into the game on their home f floor as they did at Salem. The game at Salem resulted in a score of 27 20 in favor of Salem and the score last night was 31—16 in favor of the visitors. We can not judge the gam«* by the score alone, for Salem High has turned out championship teams for several years past and has the same expectations this year. We are only too proud and it is an honor, that Estacada High can compete with such schools. The boys de serve all the praise we can be stow upon them and many victories are in sight before *6* end of the season. E vangelistic M eetin gs At Barton, Ore., school house.
