American Legion
Auxiliary
As the 1930 American Legion Aux
iliary year draws to Its close with
the Installation of new officers we
must again renew our membership so
that the new year will be as success
ful as the old. It seems this should
be unnesessary as the old members
should remember, but It Is really true
that a reminder Is needed. This year
we are hoping to have a 100 per cent
renewal list completed by Armistice
day, so each and every old member
Is asked to send her dues or ask the
chairman, Mrs. Cole Holmes, to call
for them by that date (November 11).
Membership Is the Atlas support
ing each share of our axulllary's
achievements: Each month of the
year is particularly designated and
devoted to some special phase of the
Auxiliary program. In he auxiliary
each woman can (due to our varied
program) help in any one of a dozen
different fields. Most any hobby can
be Indulged In as the auxiliary strives
to help the community by aiding In
community service, Americanism and
welfare (In connection with other
organizations such as the American
Cross).
We need and wish to have every
eligible woman as a member of the
American Legion Auxiliary. With a
disturbed and delicate International
situation exlstant In the Far East
and Europe, every wife, mother,
daughter or sister of a veteran of
the world war should Join our aux
iliary and get behind the Legion pro
gram for the auxiliary la Just a helper
of the Legion so their program Is ours.

(4) Landslides have occurred in the country
through which the pipe line passes.
(6) The pipe line is endangered for a distance of
approximately 6 miles, on its most inaccessible section,
by the unlined Eagle Point Irrigation District Canal
which is above the line on steep hillsides.
(6) This canal is subject to breaks, several occur
ring every season. .
(7) Should a serious canal break occur above the
pipe line, several days might be required to repair the,
damage to the line.
