COPCO PRESENT
'RIP VAN WINKLE'
I
The Copco rudu present nation of
"Hip Van AVinkle" over station
KM ED, starting at 9 p. m. tonight,
promises to draw lono of tho lar
gest local, radio autlicncjcs since
the Inception of tho Medford
broadcasting station. William Leo
tlreenleaf, well known character
actor who has been secured by tho
California Oregon Potwcr company
to present this unusual program
has given this play a total of 19 1! 8
times throughout the west. That
ho is fully capable of i portraying
all of the characters injthe play is
evidenced by the following item
of appreciation by Helnry Hhris
teen Warns ck, Omnia tic critic of
tho Loe Angeles Times?
"William Lee tlreenkmf comes
nearer constituting an 'ontiro the
atrical company than any ona Indi
vidual I ever heard rain down
lines from the stage. He can so
visualise the different parls of a
play us to fill the mind's eye with
the complete action. JIo electri
fies an audience both with this
quality of envisioning and with the
timber of an exceptional speaking
voice of many shades aoid a wide
range of power. Mr. Greenleaf
not ' only entertains ho Inspires.
No one can hear his Rip Van Win
kle, his Hamlet or his Merchant
of Venice and not approach those
masterpieces with a new born rev
eronce and understanding. I com
mend him as "the best one-man
company interpreting tho immor
tal creations of tho drama today."
AHho Mr. tlreenleaf has given
nearly 11000 renditions of "Rip Van
Winkle" on tho stage, tonight will
be the first time he has ever pre
sented it over the radio.

In aceordaneo with the newly
amended by-laws of Medford post
No. 15, nominations for post of
ficers wero made at last night's
Legion meeting at tho Armory.
This change was mado In accord
ance with a measure passed by the
state department, at the recent
Medford convention, and means
that future officers will be in
stalled the first regular meeting in
October of each year Instead of
January "as formerly.
At last night's meeting tho fol
lowing wero nominated to hold of
fico during the coming year:
Post commander, John Holmer:
first vice-commander, Ed Webber
and Ed Leach: second vice-commander,
Lloyd Williamson: adjut
ant, Leon Brown, Lee Oarlock;
finance officer, Iternice Cameron,
Doi Newbury and Molvin Hogan:
chaplain, Horace Bromley; execu
tive committee, Harry Moore, Hor-
aco Bromley. Seely Hall, Wm. Bol
ger, Jas. Collins, Ted Baker, Earle
Davis, Joe Fliegel and B. II. Bry
ant. further nominations will be in
order at tho next meeting on Mon
day, September 10, and the annual
election will take place on Sep
tember 2-i.
Plans for the annual Labor Day
dance were outlined by Lloyd AVil
liamson and other members of the
Medford drum corps under whose
auspices the dance will be given.
Proceeds will be used to purchase
new equipment for the drum corps
in order to make a strong bid for
first honors at next year's con
vention. Commander Bromley urged
every legionnaire to help put over
this annual affair and to give the
Legion drum corps 100 per cent
cooperation.
Service Officer Chancy reported
on the local legion men who were
in the veterans hospitals and gave
some interesting figures on state
aid. He advised that tho veterans'
state loans in Jackson county had
reached a total of $593,451.31 to
date. Needless to say, this has
meant a wonderful stimulus to
building activities in the. county
and has resulted in hundreds of
veterans being given the opportun
ity to own their homes. A. J. Crosc
and R. P. Cowgill also spoke on
the subject and stated that It has
been found necessary for tho state
to take over only four properties
out ofthis big total.
Don Newbury spoke on tho
Scouts' jamborco and asked all
legion members to attend. Carl
Tcngwald reported that the new
local rifle c;ub needed mora mem
bers and would soon have a fine
rifle range at their disposal.
It. was announced that four of
'tho:'legiori flags recently given to
tho city were stolen from tho loca
tion on Main street near tho park
during the convention, and unless
these flags were recovered the post
will go to the cxpenso of replacing
them. Anyone having any infor
mation on the subject is asked to
communicate with members of tho
Medford post at once.
In line with the Americaniza
tion work of tho legion. Post Com
mander Bromley appointed the fol
lowing committee to "get out the
vote" iii the November election:
A. J. Croso, . chairman; Ernest
Scott, E. C. Ferguson and Earle
Davis of Medford; C. J. Shorb of
Gold Hill, Leonard Freeman of
Central Point, and Clyde .Smith of
Butlo Falls. This committee will
start an educational campaign to
get every local citizen to exercise
his or her right of franchise snd
voto at the November election. This
Is a most Important phase of tho
legion's Americanization program
and some real results are antici
pated. F

PAY HEAVY FINE
FOR KILLING DEER
The sight of deer from the roads
In the hill districts of Jackson
county has been a wonderful one
to the hundreds of tourists enroutc
to or returning from Crater Lake
or Diamond lake, as well as to
o trior vacationists, but when a big
fat buck last Sunday crossed the
Diamond Lake road in front of the
car of three Oregon City youths on
vacation, the trio forgot everything
else In their excitement, jumped
out or the car with their rifles and
blazed away, one of the cartridges
killing the deer.
Then oiv seeing the buck lying
there dead the sanity of the young
men came back with a thud to
gether with the recollection that
the deer season does not open until
September 3 0. They got cold feet,
and became so panic-stricken that
they loft tho deer lying where it
fell and headed the car with ut
most speed for Crater Lake.
In the meantlmo the dead doer
was soon .afterwards discovered by
a forest ranger or passers by, and
suspicion falling on the trio that
wero speeding way, word was
phoned to the Crater Luke na
tional park entrance where - the
throo men were halted by a ran
ger. Hoy Parr, game warden of
this county, was in turn notified,
and hurrying up to the national
p ark took the illegal deer hunters
into custody.
They frankly admitted their
misdeed, and that Is why, after a
conference with Parr and tho dis
trict attorney's office, it was
agreed to have Ed Whlteridge
shoulder all the blame and plead
guilty. Hence yesterday afternoon
tho three appeared in Justice Tay
lor's court here, and on White
ridge's pleading guilty ho was
fined $150. The other two young
men, one of whom was John Trim
ble, who Is connected with an
Oregon City bank, shared tho fine
with "Whlteridge, each paying $50.
The namo of the other Oregon City
man Is not known.
