Mciniunr, niamn' field, secretary-treasurer American Li'clon AuxUlnry. as told to William h. Baker, Com Bay Times writer. BANDON, (Special) Long before smoke wreatha had crept over Boar creek mountain aoutheaat of this Cooa county eeaport town. American Lesion membera were out on the hattlefront Hunting aerloua toreat fjrea, and today, long after thli com munity of 1800 peraona wa wipea out loat September 26 by swift-striking fire, Legionnaires and auxiliary workers of Coos county and Oregon are lending a kindly and helpful hand to stricken realdente of Bandon-By- The-Sea. "In Peace as In War We Serve, aays an American Legion national ilo- ran, and m peace aa in warmer served a valiant band of men and women who worked long houra try Jng to save the city and still are working long hours helping Bandon- ltes to get their feet on tne ground . . Posts Prepared emergency relief and disaster com mittees were organized In Coos coun ty Legion poata years ago. At the lead of each unit la a Legionnaire vtth actual combat experience, a knowledge of emergency measures and how to apply them beat. So when fire slithered over the southeast hill from logging camp slashings and wiped this community from Its picturesque setting, Legionnaires were organized. Many veterans had spent hours a members of fire depart ments, out there where trees were falling. In fact. Commander R A. Gallter of Bandon post No. 26 de voted a full afternoon with moat of the post's members In an effort to save ranch houses In the path of fires not expected to spread to Ban don. Roars Into Bandnn 1 Auxiliary members came out late that afternoon of Sept. 26 with coffee end aandwlchea. It was a terribly hot afternoon, and a linking east wind swept flames onward towards town, the Leglonnalrea, farmers, and towns men giving way before the fire mile iter mile. Then Into Bandon It roar ed, crackling from dried brush to dried brush. Jumping acroaa it rect. burning telephone poles at the bot tom and sweeping on. At Eleventh street, a half mile of hoae had been laid down but fire came on and paased, 10 or 12 miles an hour, burn ing the base, running away from the fighters. They stuck It out clear cown to Front street, then opened the throttle on their pumper and went among the ruins to find their own families. , Relief Arrives , Sunday morning was a gray cheer less day, while poata all over Cooa county had been organizing Satur day and Sunday, the first men with relief supplies began to arrive In Bandon early Sunday morning. Most of the refugees fled In cara to Co qullle, up the river 10 mllea from Bandon. But several hundred others wcro taken acroaa the river In coast fruard boats or spent the night on beachee. Early Sunday they gathered on the S. 8. Alvorado, lumber freight er, and the lighthouse tender, 9 S. Row, OtJtkod at the Moore lumber mill. Fortunately Leglonnalrea and fifteen firemen aaved the city's chief Industries, three mills, from deitruc ,t!on. although they were not out of dinger until Sunday night. Meala Herved at legion llnll When the trek of fire-weary began from Bnmton to Coqullle, the Amer ican Ijeglon hall in the latter city was thrown open. Meals were aeived three times a day to 830 or 400 per son for eleven days. Moat of the preparation was handled by the Co qullle auxiliary assisted by ladles from auxiliaries to Sunset and Coos Bay poata at North Bend and Msrah fleld. Cota and bedding went up In the Leu ton rooms, and many who couldn't find lodging there went home with veterans and their fami lies. Many a business man of CofuiUle closed the doora of his store and spent hit full time relieving the ref ugees. Many others went forth again to fight flrea that threatened the city of Coqullle. But a few hours after the news vtnt "round the state," clothing, tedding and sup pi lea came from dis tant points. "Mom" palmatteor. state Lfglon vice-commander, bronpht truck loads of supplies.
