Orvin T. Gant, president of the
Coquille Townsend Club who was at
Eugene on Wednesday for the con­
vention of Towensnd clubs in the
first Oregon congressional district,
reports that there were 186 delegates
from 150 clubs in attendance, and
that there were more than 1500 people
in the hall where the convention was
held.
It was officially stated that the to­
tal number of clubs in Oregon is now
354„ with a total membership in the
state of 150,000.
Jno. A. Blegger, of Marshfield, was
chosen as a member of the first dis­
trict advisory board for Coos, Curry
and Douglas counties.
Of the 150 delegates present only
11 were over 00 years of age, and the
showing of the entire audience was
in about the same proportion— less
than ten per ent of the age who
