“ Estacada,” and an arrow pointing
north will be painted on the roof of
the Estacada high school building,
covering the entire available surface
o f the roof, in order to aid aviators
when flying near the city. Arrange­
ments for the big sign was made at
the monthly meeting of the Carl
Douglass post of the Legion Monday
night.
Attention 'was called to the fact
that within the last few weeks two
airplanes had lost their way in the
fog and had flown low over the town
without being able to learn just
where they were, and that the paint­
ing o f this sign would not only be a
benefit to aviators, but possibly at
some time would be the means oi
preventing damage to machines, anc
probably the loss o f life.
The action o f the Legion is in line
with the program o f the state and
national organization for the year in
their desire to aid in every possible
way the development o f airports ant'
air transportation.
The letter on the school building
will be more than eight feet high
will be distinguishable at a height o f
about three thousand feet, and will
be painted by high school boys un­
der the supervision o f the manual
training instructor, A. H. Drews, the

The post pledged its support in
transporting the Boy Scouts o f Esta
cada to the Boys' Vocational Expo­
sition at the Municipal auditorium in
Portland on February 11, a commit­
tee consisting o f Bob Cooke and Syl­
vester Lawrence having been appoint
ed to assist in the arranging o f such
transportation.

tee o f the post, were complimented
hy Commander J. C. Moreland foi
the post for their udtiring efforts in
conducting the dances at Eagle Creek
which are proving profitable, and
making possible the carrying out ol
the Legion program.
Paul J. Holm, adjutant o f the pos1
announced that the membership a(
this date was 47, and the quota set
fo r the organization this year is 55
It was decided to make a drive foi
the additional members needed tc

Sylvester Lawrence ' and Forest
Erickson were elected as team cap­
tains and divided the members into
'tw o groups which will compete for
memberships until the next meeting
and the winning team will be served
a tanquet at the expense o f the
losers.
The Auxiliary had a fine attend­
ance at this meeting, and several ad­
ditional members were received intc
their organization.
A fter the business sessions a joint
social hour was enjoyed. Cards were
played and afterward the Auxiliarj
