PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD. OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1935 DUCK AIDS LEGION ally responsible for the collection ol personal taxes. The flow of coin Into the tax tills of the county ho surprised the sher iff, who admits "I don't know where they get the money, but they pay It." Increase of public confidence and a freer flow of money in trade end labor channels are also credited with siding the change. If Joe Fenner has lost hit duck some member of the looal post of the American Legion probably has It. The teat Legionnaire officially seen with the duck wan Paul MoCurley. but It waa thought todAy that by nov some other member had It. On the other hand, perhaps no one has it, for when the quack-qtiack was presented to Mr. McCurley he threat ened to cook and eat it, If Mr. MoCurley disposed of the duck In any such fashion, it's going to be lust too bad for him. Legion nalree were heard to say today. There members were cooking t'p something themselves, but It wasn't a duck. It was something for Mr. McCurley. Just in case HE cooked the duck. That's an important duck to the Legionnaire. It's a symbol, really. It symbolizes hat Log ion n air, alter he han disposed of It according to the rules, has paid his 1930 dues. That's the plan. It was adopted at a recent Legion meeting when Roland Smith appeared with the duck. Mr. Smith is chairman of the memberhhlp committee, end he thought It was time for all members to pay their new dues and at the same time to enlist new members. Something was needed to put a little splec Into the membership drive and Mr. Smith thought duck waa Just the thing. Here's the Idea: The duck (yes, of course It's a live duck you dont suppose the live-wire Legionnaires would be bothered witn aoaos, ao you?) Is presented to a member who has not yet paid his dues. He must keep, feed and cherish the duck until he has paid up. Then he must pass It on to another member who has not paid. Each Legionnaire In turn passes the duck along until all mem bers have ipald their dyes. What la to be done with the duck when all have paid has not- been figured but yet. Perhaps it will then be sold to Joe PenneT. The Legion Is now preparing for a winter of much activity. An nounoement of the membership drive stated that the organization must combat pending legislation designed to reduce expenditures for disabled veterans. The disabled fighters need more consideration, not less, the an nouncement stated. Members of the local post today Journeyed to Grants Pas to attend the district conference. After the conference a pot-luck supper was to be served at the Frultdale Orange end the day was to be topped off with a program and dance.

At the hospital It waa said that his right upper arm showed apparent needle wound as though he had been subjected to narcotics. Doors of the hospital were locked soon after the youth arrived and no one save relatives was permitted to see him. 8. R. Oerhart, Philadelphia sales man, first saw the prostrate boy by the glare of his auto's headlights. He sprang from the car and halted another machine, and the occupants, Robert Keaser. 26; his brother John, 16; Max Rlskln and Lance Smith, 29. all of Philadelphia, helped him re n.ove the half -conscious boy to the home of George Cadwalader, post master of Lahaska. and later to the office of Dr. Bradford Oreen. They removed the strips from Milne's eyes and mouth. Rlskln asked: "Are you. caien Milne?" "Yes," the boy replied with effort. Identified by Uncle. Warren Milne, uncle of the youth and a central figure In the entire investigation, arrived at the hospital a short time later and identified him. Dr. Oreen examined Milne again today and said his condition Is not serious. "We could have given him a stimu lant last night," h eexplalned, "and he would have been able to talk then perhaps tell the whole story, but we thought it advisable to give him a good night's rest. He probably will be moved to his grandfather's home today." Federal agents centered their activ ity at the hospital today. R. George Harvey, chief of the Philadelphia squad, was among the first arrivals, bringing with him Warren Milne, the uncle. Edward Strickland, state po liceman, said the tape apparently had mot been on Milne for any length of time, as each piece was clean. A nurse attending Milne at the hos pital said he mumbled repeatedly In half -consciousness, "I'm Caleb." Occos tonally she said he cried out. "Oh, my arm!" Finding of the youth climaxed a night' of intensive, shielding activity that began at dusk, amid rumors that the family had contacted the ab ductors and waited to pay (25.000 de manded in a note received this morning.
