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

fire, Legionnaires and auxiliary
workers of Coos county and Oregon
are lending a kindly and helpful hand
to stricken realdente of Bandon-By-

"In Peace as In War We Serve,

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,

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.

less day, while poata all over Cooa
county had been organizing Satur

relief supplies began to arrive In
Bandon early Sunday morning. Most
