Nov. 12 Saturday, Nov. 10 will be known as "Blue Hat" day. The purpose of Legion Week is to review the work of the Leg- "ion for the past year and to create interest in Legion Work. The American Legion story will be carried to all corners in the United States during the Week. During'that time the mer- cnams oi juecaord will be co operating to give ail eligible vet erans a .chance to join the Ameri can Legion. Founded in 1319 The American Legion was founded in 1919 banding togeth er all those who served in the rmcd forces at home or abroad during World War I. Later by an act of Congress those who ; served in World War II and the Korean conflict became eligible. The American Legion is found ed on and pledged to a program , of four principles. They are: 1. : rehabilitation of ' the sick and disabled veterans; 2. child wel faw 3, community service; and I 4, Americanism, j Medford 'Post 15' has been ac ! live lot-ally for 36 years in carry j ing out these programs. Under rehabilitation they have j maintained a service officer to ; aid those veterans needirrg help. Through the Legion Auxiliary, I they have a complete program j at Lamp W hite. They have a paid i hospital chairman and a large I volunteer group who minister to the needs of veterans in the Domicilliary. Hospital Representee The Legion maintains a hos pital representative who carries on programs for the Legion and acts as liaison, officer between Buick Iniroduces More Horsepower Detroit (U.R) Buick, one of the few major automakers to retain 15-inch wheels, introduc ed today its 1957 models .which are lower in height and higher in horsepower. New V-8 engines' generating 300 horsepower, an increase of 45 from 1956 models, power the Ftoadmastcr. Super and Century series. The lower priced Special serres comes with 250-borsepow-er. engines, compared with 220 this year. Edward T. Ifagsdale, General Motors vice president and Buick general manager, said at a press pfeview last month he saw "no real advantage" to reducing the wheel diameter. Other produc ers which have switched to the smaller wheel this year claim it enables them to use fatter tires and "get ' more rubber on the road." the Legion and Auxiliary. The group is also responsible for dis tribution of gifts from the "Gifts to the Yanks" fund. In the child welfare program the Legion and Auxiliary dis- pense benefits each year to the amount of $6,000 or $7,000. Junior Legion baseball has been one of the important pro grams. It's importance can be seen when the rosters of the two teams in the World's series this year, the Dodgers and the Yanks, had 28 players who were former American Legion Junior base ball players. Places High Medford has placed high in the National Oratorical contest for high school students several times. This year the district fin als will be held in Medford. The winner of the district contest will receive a scholarship. .Beaver Boys State in the Leg ion and Girls State in the Aux iliary is one of the outstanding Legion programs. Medford has consistently sent a busload of students from this area to Boys State each year. Medford Post 15 has always sponsored a Boy Scout Troop which consistently rates at the top in Scout activities. At pres ent they are the sponsors of Air Explorer Squadron 14. The park and Boy and Girl Scout building on East Main st. was donated by Post 15. In the past the American Legion has co operated with other organiza tions in their child welfare pro grams. Pride, Joy The Americanism program of Medford Post 15 has always been their pride and joy. The post has received many citations for their work such as the "get out the vote" drive, the "Back to God" program. Crusade for Freedom and other, programs. Their din ners for our new citizens are always big events long to be remembered by the new citizens. Medford Post 15 has shown by their past activities that they are vitally interested in the wel fare of their community. The community service pro gram has been more than com mendable.

Football Scoreboard The high school electric foot ball scoreboard was presented by Medford Post 15. They have been ready at all times to co operate with all other organiza tions in community activities. Medford is just a sample of the American Legion program nationally. The Legion takes the lead in national defense and the exposure of subversive activ ities. When the veterans of World War I returned they had no bene fits to aid them in starting over again. There were no hospitals for the care of the sick and dis abled. When World War II start ed the American Legion decided to see that the returning veter ans were not forgotten. The G.I. Bill of Rights was the dream of the American Legion. Today the American Legion is on the march. Membership on Nov. 1, this year, is way ahead of the preceeding years at this time. It is the organization to handle the veterans problems and every veteran should belong. Veterans need the American Legion and the Legion needs veterans to carry on the pro grams. Legionnaires in business all over town have posters in their windows asking you to join the American Legion. Just ask one of them for further information.

Vote 122 Oregon Democrats Ha Time Since Civil War Portland (U.R) Oregon Democrats, with a majority of voters for the first time in a presidential election since Civil War days, make their big bid to take over reigns of the state's government next Tuesday in an election highlighted by the Morse-McKay battle for the U.S. Senate. The number of registered vot ers is at an all-time high, 877, 952. Democrats have 451,179 and Republicans 413,659, a lead of 37,520. The rest of the 13,114 are scattered among Independ ents and other parties. In 1952, Republicans had about a 2000 vote lead over Democrats. The battle between Sen. Wayne Morse and Douglas Mc Kay, the former governor and Interior secretary, has drawn national interest topped only by the presidential race itself. Morse was elected twice as a Republican, in 1944 and 1950, but switched parties and is run ning as a Democrat. McKay never has lost a major state race. In 1954, Oregon voters decid ed control of the U. S. Senate by electing Democrat Richard Neu berger over Republican Guy Cor don. This year's race could again decide Senate control. Democrats Hopeful Effect of the increased voter registration and the Democratic lead must await counting of the ballots. But Democrats are hope ful of getting a majority on the Board of Control and control of the State House of Representa tives, long dominated by the GOP in Oregon. Besides the Senate race, the four Congressional seats are up for decision again. At present Oregon has three Republicans and a Democrat in the national House of Representatives. Oregonians also will elect an attorney general and a Supreme Court justice and decide several important ballot measures. Gov. Elmo Smith, who took over when the late Paul Patter son died last winter, is opposed on the Democratic side by Rob ert Holmes. Both Smith, a Re publican, and Holmes, have served in the state Senate.
