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 !

went to bed dead tired and I

with the disappointment of los

Heppner's marvelous showing
asainst Rosue River. How proud
their home community is of
them!
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.

A band played the Star

early. The announcer in Coos

the net were cut in, but still
didn't realize he was broad
