This is a civic organiza tion which is devoting itself to the interests of the public, as well as its own members and ex-service men. The Legion does not recognize rank, race or creed, and is ready to lend its support at all times to any worthy undertaking. Its efforts to raise funds for the purpose of continuing its chaiitable work, its promotion of | athletics, and the care of ex-service men of all wars, is often criticized, but— oh well. Some folks just nat urally have to “knock” something, and it probably hurts the Legion less than any organization in existence. | • * * 0 0 0 * * Tune in on KEX Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock if you want to hear the dope on the junior baseball project being undertaken throughout the statu of Oregon and the other 48 states.
