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.

Arm Needled.
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.

man, first saw the prostrate boy by
the glare of his auto's headlights.
He sprang from the car and halted

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
