Meetbg Monday
At the meeting of Coquille Pewit,
No. 36, American Legion, the Sea
Scout committee reported that the
Skipper, Harry Hunt, had resigned
owing to the long hours he is putting
in swinging the loading donkey about.
Bob Stewart has been pinch hitting
but asked that a new Skipper be ap>

the Sea Scout Ship.
The Sons of the Legion have run
into a snag and it seems it to impos
sible to untangle it at this time. Be
cause of the strenuous and numerous
actiivties in which the boys are re
quired to participate, the Post went
on record as favoring the discontinu
ance of the activities-of the Sons of
