To Join the Band
At the regular meeting of Lester
C. Ree« Poet No. 67 of the American
Legion on last Tuesday night, offi
cers for the year of 1922 were elect
ed. Those chosen to head the poet
for the coming year were:
Com
mander, Prank Swart; vice comman
der. Leonard Gower; adjutant, Paul
E. Overend; finance officer, Elmer
Warner; chaplain. Dr. J. S. Rankin;
post historian, Raymond Amy; ser
geant at arms, George Nlcholls; ex
ecutive committee, Archie Abdul, D.
R. Smith, Bain Morris.
The various committees were not
named a f this meeting but will be
appointed at the first meeting in
January.
The building committee reported
that they had bought a lot situated,
at the northeast corner of First and
Center streets, 100x100 feet. The
property was purchased from Cass A
Brown. This will be the site for the
new legion building. The plans for
the new building have not as yet
been definitely settled on, but it is
the intention of the legion to make
this building a community house for
the people of Newberg. The audi
torium will be planned to take care
of the future growth of our city, so
that we may have a building of such
sire to amply take care of conven
tions and fairs. The construction of
the building will probably start be
fore March 1.
Lester Rees Post has applied to
the corporation commissioner at Sa
lem for papers of incorporation.
The different posts of Yamhill
county are applying for a charter to
establish a Locale Volture for the
Kociete des 40 .Jiotnmes et 8 Che-
\aux. The charter will probably be
secured the early part'of January.
The men of the legion are plan
ning on giving a dinner to the le
gion auxilllary on New Years eve at
6:30. This dinner will be cooked
and served by members of the legion
to the auxilllary iq, appreciation of
the fine, meals which the ladies have
served to them throughout th* past
The Newberg Berrlan band is tak
ing on new life and Interest under
the direction of Hal L. Campbell, of
Portland, who cometj.here each Wed
nesday evening to conduct the re
hearsals.' Just to show the people
of Newberg In general and the Ber-
riun organization in particular that
the boys appreciate what is being
done for them, plans for giving a
free public concert sometime In Jan
uary were launched, and a committee
appointed to arrange for a hall and
other details, and the band will go
to work at once preparing a program
which will no doubt be enjoyed by
those who attend and at the same
time give added Interest to the play
ers. and be a strong factor in the
progress of the organization. It may
be further safely stated that the Jan
uary concert will not be the last one,
as the band plans to put on a free
concert probably once each month
in case suitable hall can be secured,
changing to the open air as soon as
the season progresses to make these
outdoor programs possible.
The Berrlan booster club is now
providing the financial backing and
paying the director of the band! Mr.
Campbell Is a most proficient musical
director and holds highest musical
degrees from the renowned London
college of mush:.. He has been the
musical director for well known
opera companies and military bands
both in America and abroad, and is
the composer of several muBical com
edies, including the successful opera
“ The Rajah of Bhong.” He is also
the author of several musical text
books and was for some time musical
critic for the New York Dally News.
He Is now on the advisory stafT of
Sieberling & Lucas, the well known
Portland music house.
Since the Berrlans have provided
capable instruction those who are In
terested in the band are making a
strong effort to build up the organ
ization in every way possible, and
hope to. develop a band which will
be a credit to the city of Newberg.

In the gymnasium at McMinnville
college. There were 138 Newberg
boys on the platform, as well as 50
Portland boys and quite a number of
the McMinnville boys, making over
200 in all. The concert was very
largely, attended on the part of the
McMinnville people and proved to be
a decided success. Rev. Whitney is
certainly to be congratulated upon
the excellent fcay in which he han

praise for his interest in them.
Chas. A. Morris, the local director,

MUSIC RECITAL
The afternoon recital given at the
Presbyterian church on Wednesday
under the direction of Miss Britt was
well attended in spite of unfavor
able weather conditions. The piano
pupils were mostly of Intermediate
isfactory progress and attainments.
Several displayed a marked degree of
talent and proficiency.
Mrs. Grlssen presented two vocal
pupils. Miss Edith Sanderman and
Miss Della Parrish, both of whom
sang in a most pleasing manner.
The piano pupils were Dorris Hud

Alnetta Parrish. Rose Schaad, Leona
Smith, Donald Crozer. Carl Crane,
Clarence Schaad. Mildred Frazier,

The fine farm home of Simon San

right hand side of the highway near
the foot of the Rex hill and about
two and a half miles east of Newberg
was destroyed by fire last Monday

seems to be a complete mystery, for
it is understood-that the fire appar

When first discovered the blaze had

the finest homes in this part of the
