PAGE THREF REUNION OF VETS Of interest to local members of tha American Legion la the novel membership contest recently Insti tuted between the states of Oregon and Mississippi. The way this con test came about reads like a bt of fiction. Elgheeen years ago. two members of a supply company, 60th Infantry, 6th division, a part of the American army of occupation, bid each other goodbye at Esch. Luxem burg. They werw Sergeant O. E. Pal meter of Salem, Ore., and Lieutenant Adraln H. Boyd of Clarkadale. Miss. Believe It or not, their paths did not cross again until both went to Indianapolis a few days ago to at tend the national conference of de partment commanders and adjutants of the American Legion. Their un expected reunion provided a dramatic sidelight to the 1937 conference. The two men met In an elevator at the national headquarter building and recognition leaped Into their eyes a they spotted each other. Both veterans are state department commanders of the American Legion for 1037-1938. the former lieutenant being the leader of the department of Mississippi and his former ser geant being the state commander of Oregon. After the first rush of enthusiastic greetings, the former sergeant challenged his former su perior officer to a 1938 membership contest. The formal challenge fol lows: "Even after 18 years a sergeant still has the Intestinal fortitude to chal lenge his lieutenant. Therefore. Lieu tenant Boyd, I challenge you and FOR ECONOMY! FOR EFFICIENCY! ft REASONABLY PRICED AT THK EASIEST CUTTING SHEAR . ... MADE Copihi IW l-oern & Mtio toa.ao Co your great department to a member ship contest, the winning department to ba that one showing the highest percentage of increase on August 30 aa compared with the total member ship for 1937."

Lon Woodrum The Church of the Nazarene, Cen tral at Jackson, was crowded yester day to hear the popular southern poet -evangel 1st. the Rev. Lon R. Woodrum. He captivated his audience both morning an evening with his poetry and wl tic isms. ' Sunday morning he spoke on "Faith," drawing his message from the 11th chapter of Hebrews. Se said "to get a proper perspective of faith one must look backward and forward and upward." He drew upon some of the worthies who are cited in the 11th chapter of Hebrews as profound examples of faith. In the evening discourse he spoke on "How One May Know He la a Christian." He drew his text from the First Epistle of John. He gave two of his striking poems and stated that he could recite more than a hundred poems of his own composition. Mrs. Lorena Robinson sang, to the delight of her hearers, both morning and evening, while the Rev. R, A. Qrlfflth directed the audience in eong In a masterful way. Tonight the Rev. Mr. Woodrum speaks from the topic, "The Road to the River." and pure cigarette paper .. that's why they 're MILDER why they TASTE BETTER 'S AT HEALTH MEET IMPROPERLY TOLD The perennial argument over state medicine flaied ana in today and this time The Mail Tribune wa the in nocent causo of the rumpus. On Friday. November 19. The Mail Tribune published a story giving what was supposed to be the gist of a talk by Mrs. Bertha Denton, public health school nurse of Ash-1 land, before a meeting of the Jack son County Health association here. The Mall Tribune story said that Mrs. Denton told the association that state medicine waa the solution of the problem faring the middle classes who could not alford proper medi cal attention. Mrs. Denton explained today tnat her talk was devoted mainly to a resume of her studies at the Univer sity of Washington summer school. Incidentally she weaved Into her ad dress a meeting of medical men in Seattle to one of whose panel dis cussions the nurses at the summer school were Invited. I Mrs. Denton said she told tne health association that the consensus of the panel discussion was that something should be .done for tho middle classes who cannot aftord proper medical enro and it was the panel's conclusion that state medi cine was the solution. Mrs. Denton emphasized today that she did not express any of her own opinions, but merely reported briefly on the panel discussion. The Mall Tribune story also said that Mrs. Denton quoted the secre tary of the American Medical asso ciation as saying his organization should stop fighting state medicine and take the lead in bringing it to the United States. In a letter to The Mail Tribune today Dr. Olln West, American Medi cal association secretary, denied tnat he had ever made any such state ment and Mrs. Denton denied at tributing any such assertion to him. Mrs. Denton said she referred to the secretary of the Washington state board qf health who presided at tne panel discussion of medical men in Seattle. It was the concensus of the pane), she said, that something should be done about the question of state medicine and she so stateo In her health association talk. Mrs. Denton took exception in particular to The Mail Tribune head OP WORLD RANGE li-TURE A. C. T MMNTGUMlEIIfcY line, which said: "State Medicine Urged by Nurse for Middle Class." She reiterated that she expressed no personal views on the subject. On the basis of the erroneous re port on her talk, the Jackson County Medical society adopted a resolution criticising Mrs. Denton for express ing her views on a controversial sub ject. The resolution asserted that a number of prominent organizations, "including a large and amply en dowed charitable foundation and the American Medical association, witn Its component stnte And local so cieties, have sponsored a thorough research by experts Into the problem of medical care of the under-privileged," It Is the "consensus of opinion oi those and other well-informed au thorities' that any "plan partaking of the nature of 'state medlclne" would be contrary to the best in terests of the general public." the resolution said. The Mall Tribune regrets the mis understanding and offers its apolo gies to Mrs. Denton, the health as sociation and the medical society.
