WRITERS' LEAGUE
CHAPTER FORMED
BY TALENT HERE
B? MAUDE POOL.
Opportunities for a splendid or
ganisation which will become a real
aaaet to this section of the state He
ahead for the Southern Oregon chap
ter of the League of Western Writers
which completed organization at
meeting held at the Holland Hotel
Monday evening. Mrs. Atlanta Parker
Batch well, president of the organiza
tion, devoted some time to explain
ing the purpose and functions of the
league, and the by-laws of the Port
land chapter, read by the secretary,
were adopted by the local branch.
"The Southern Oregon chapter" was
chosen as the name of the new or
ganisation, and during the meeting
numerous plans for the future were
discussed. New members were ad
mitted, and an Invitation to the
northwest convention at Portland be
ginning August 0 was read by the
secretary.
Officers, Including those elected at
preliminary meetings held In April,
are ss follows: Mrs. Atlanta Parker
Batchwell, president; Mrs. Alice Cop
pin, vice-president; Mrs. A. V. Graves,
secretary; Mtss Dorothy Reynolds,
treasurer and Mtss Maude E. Pool,
historian. V. A. Davis, Mrs. Louise
Hedges, and Mrs. E. E. Gore were
named by the president as the board
of directors, and Miss Pool and Mr.
Davis were appointed as publicity
members.
The organisation was established
In the spring by Mrs, Agnes E. Hines
of Forest Grove, Ore., executive and
publicity chairman, and membership
Is open not only to writers, but to all
classes of creative artists, Including
painters, musicians, composers, archi
tects, sculptors, and singers. The
charter will be left open for the next
month to permit as many charter
members as possible. The next meet
ing will be held at the Holland Hotel
August 7th, at 2:00 p. m., and there
after meetings will be held In the
afternoon of the second Monday In
every month. Members are planning
a brief program to be presented at
the next meeting, and every person
who Is doing a creative type of work
la Invited to attend the meeting and
become a charter member.
The principal aim of the League of
Western Writers Is to discover and
promote talent which has remained
undeveloped as a result of lack of as
sistance and encouragement. Realis
ing hat great talent along various
lines exists right In southern Oregon
Itself, members of the Medford branch
vision a splendid organisation which
will be more than worth while for
those who become affiliated with It.
Members will be put In touch with
markets for their various types of
prod notions.
Exceptional Interest In the league
was shown by V. A. Davis, who trav
eled 90 miles from his home near
the California line beyond the Sis
kiyou summit to be present at Mon
day's meeting, and learn of the na
ture of the League of Western Writers.
Mr. Davis, a well known contributor
of historical articles to local papers,
has had abort stories published, and
expects to publish a book before long.
Mrs. Batchwell has appropriately ex
pressed the spirit of the new organi
sation In the following bit of verse,
which lends Inspiration for new
achievements:
The members of our little band
Must stand together In a helpful
way;
Here In Oregon' sunny land
We Join each other In work and
play.
In our work we must always keep
, Moving forward in thought and
deed;
Handing out something strong and
deep.
. Something to fill life 'a dally need.
In our pleasant leisure hours,
Wa csn make life very bright
By using all within our power
To change dark hours into light.
i
With pen and brush and sculptor's
knife,
To perpetuate our dally thought.
Our league will begin 1U useful life;
lie cheerful battlra will be fought.
In Oregon's land of sunshine.
Away from the outside world;
With stories, boo Irs and rhyme,
. Our banner Is low unfurled.
And now our Lesgua must have a
name;
Mv friends, what do vou uvf
Will the name of "Medford" give It
fame?
If not, "Southern Oregon" may.

at my simple reasoning
Whenever the subject of cigarettes
comes up, I sit back quietly and let the
.men explain about the "Toasting"
process. Then, if they ask my opinion,
I'n pretty frank and tell them why
"Luckies please" me, at least. After
all, there's an intimate relationship
between a cigarette and my lips
because "Iti toasted'.
and I'm very sensitive about my
personal daintiness. Certainly I en
joy Luckies' delicious tobaccos and
their mellow-mildness but the
comforting purity of "Toasting"
is what I prize almost above every
thing else. And that is a woman's
reason for saying "Luckies Pleasel"
