Leg ion Marks Anniversary Lo". kir.fr beyond the tragedy cf war. Abraham Lincoln saw a nation's obligation "to care for him who shall have borne the tattle arvi for his widow ar.d orphan' The Civil War psesident expressed this naticr.al respon se i'.'y to servicemen and veterans when he gave c.-.e of his messages to Congress. It was more than a half-century later t-efore the Amer ican Legxn was formed, but this year the organization Is starting lis ,th year fulfilling the need stated by President Lincoln. Through Jut Its years of service, tiiere has nev er been any doubt but that the American Legion stands for patriotism, for national security-, and the significance of wearing the uni form cf the t'nited States of America, all in supporting the concept cf building for freedom and democracy. This month, March 1517, marks the 43th anniversary cf The American Legion. Now the nation's largest veterans' or ganization, it was founded in Paris, France, in March, 1919, short'- after the close cf World War L by representatives of the various outfits of the American Expeditionary Force. It now consists of more than 2.500.0CO members, organized In nearly 15.5.0 posts in every state and 28 countries. Race, re ligion, or political beliefs are no bar to membership; it is non-political and non-sectarian. Its accomplishments have been many. Legion posts throughout the world are planning for the Z(rh Anniversary' giving recognition to the 50-year members and honoring by invitation the Vietnam veterans and their families. American Legions and Auxiliaries in the State cf Oregon, under leadership of John W. Buether, department commander, will join in observing a half century of service to the com munity, state and nation, and pledge their service to the na tion, in war and in peace, for a second half century. Objectives of the organization are fittingly grouped in the preamble to the Constitution of The American Legion: "For God and Country We Associate Ourselves Together for the Following Purposes: To uphold and defend the Constitu tion of the L'nited States of America; To maintain law and order; To foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Amer icanism; To preserve the memories and incidents cf our as sociations in the great wars; To inculcate a sense of individ ual obligation to the community, state and nation; To com bat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; To make right the master of might; To promote peace and good will on earth; To safeguard and transmit to posterity the prin ciples of justice, freedom and democracy; To consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpful ness." With these high ideals cf Americanism and the fellow ship of mankind as continuing objectives, the American Leg ion deserves the wholehearted support of every citizen of this country and of those throughout the free world. H. S. Waste in the Penitentiary Destruction in the state penitentiary at Salem this week with a terrible waste in property at a time when Oregon's budget is ill prepared to stand it, somehow brings to mind, by contrast, the matter of school budgets. This great cost at the penitentiary is a total loss and is currently estimated at some S2 million. Yet the cost is only a fraction of what the state pays to keep and feed the more than 1GC0 persons who are at least temporarily ostracized from society by tht-ir anti-social acts. When the urge is felt to complain about the high cost of supporting schools, as the budgets come up for vote soon, let's consider the alternative when we do not prepare our young citizens for useful citizenship and productive lives that build rather than destroy. Mayton figure that something had to re wrong after our kids put up such a great game against Razue River. Kit Anderson, who has been doir.2 a f.ne M covering tr.e tournament t the Gairtte Time by telephoning a chron ological play-by-play report of Heppners game, confirmed our thoughts immediately after the Staytcn game. He said that the boys seem ed tired out. They entered the gam with confidence, feelin that they could sweep Stayton off the court. But they had to plav the last game Monday i nihf, which wasn't over until ) close to 11 tm, and then they i had to clay the f;rt game Tues- day afternoon. The Mustang: team, which went full out ! agai.--st the Chieftains, probably j went to bed dead tired and I bound with tension, together j with the disappointment of los ing the heartoreaker. Probably ! they didn't get much rest nor I sieep. and Chat couldnt nave set them ur in very good shape for a ball club as good as the Eagles.

He pungled up out of his own pocket to have thera wash the very dirtv windows of the old Tryco building. NOW for a chanse cf pace and adieu to basketball: They're laughing at the story that Prin cipal Harold Beggs told, appar ently at the narcotics discussion the other night.

THOSE WHO tuned in on FM channel 3 a little early Tues day to hear the Heppner game heard some dialogue that must not have been intended to go over the air. Some of the an nouncers or technicians were shooting the breeze back and forth, and it came in loud and clear. "They really botched us up," said one and pointed out that the daily papers had the first consolation game scheduled for 3:15 when it actually went on the air at 2 p.m. This caused some confusion here, too. Another comment was. '"I hope that game with Rogue River didn't take too much out of Heppner." (Proved that his fears were justified t.
