ESTACADA, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1928
VOLUME XXII
IN M E D F O R D
J. C. Moreland o f F.stacada, com­
mander of the Carl Douglass post of
the American Legion, was elected as
district committeeman for the first
district at the state convention held
in Medford last week.
The position is really district com­
mander and an amendment was sub­
mitted changing the title o f the office
to district commander, but was de­
feated, because it might bring con­
fusion in titles. However, the dis­
trict committeemen are members of
the executive committee of the state
department, and the head o f the or­
ganization in this district. The first
district includes Clackamas, Multno­
mah, Clatsop and Columbia counties.
Portland post, with 18 votes in the
convention, voted unanimously for
Moreland, as did the other posts of
the district.
Ben Fisher o f Marshfield wa:
elected commander o f the American
Legion, Department o f Oregon with­
out opposition. The only contested
office was for vice commander.
“ Community Service” is the slogan
for the Legion the coming year. An
effort will be made to increase the
membership o f the organization dur­
ing the coming year. The member­
ship in Oregon last year, the reports
showed, was in excess by more than
one thousand that o f any former year
in the history o f the organization.
J. C. Moreland, Dr. W. W. Gilbert
and G. E. Parks represented the local
post in the convention, and Mrs. J.
W. Moore went as a delegate to the
American Legion Auxiliary conven­
tion which was held at the same time
and place.
On the return trip from Medford
the Legionnaires from Kstacada vis­
ited Crater Lake, returning via The
Dalles-Culifornia highway and the
Wapinitia cut-off.
With the exception o f the Pinna­
cles road from Crater Lake the high­
way and a section o f the Wapinitia
cutoff, the roads were in perfect con­
dition. The delegates left Estacada
Wednesday morning and returned
Sunday.
The next convention o f the Legion
will be held in Salem. An amend­
ment to the constitution provides
that officers o f the posts shall be
elected prior to, and shall be installed
at the first meeting in October.
Sailor Visit* M ot her
Earl R. Kennedy visited his moth­
er, Mrs. James Norris, for a few days
last week, while on furlough from
the navy. His boat is the destroyer
McCauley, No. 276. He brought his
mother a beautiful electric lamp
which he made, representing a three-
inch aircraft steel, beautifully en­
graved. The lamp is at the March-
bank confectionery, and is well worth
seeing.
