SOCIETY FALL OFF
MERRILL Local response to
the campaign for funds for
Support of the Oregon Protec
tive society has not been as
spontaneous as in past years,
say the representatives who
this week are visiting Klamath
county, according to the Merrill
Service club which each year
sends a generous donation of
potatoes to the society in Port
land. Dr. F. E. Trotmau draws at
tentlon to the fact that there are
now 1Z young women and 18
babies from Klamath county in
the homes under the Jurisdic
tion of the society and this fact
alone should open the purse
strings of residents of all com
munities of the county in cash
or contributions of food and
clothing are always welcomed.
The Service club hopes to
send 50 sacks of potatoes again
this year. They may be field
run in any kind of sack that
can be shipped, and anyone who
cares to contribute may donate
one or more sacks. They may
be left with Dr. Trotman or
with other members of the club.
TULELA KE A district con-
ventlon for auxiliaries of Le
gion posts is planned for Octo
ber 25 at Yreka, according to
information given out at this
week's meeting of the Tulelake
auxiliary, following receipt of a
letter from the district presi
dent, Mrs. Sisson. Officers here
plan to attend.
An "old fashioned" dinner -
celebrating the end of the har
vest season is planned by the -Legion
and the auxiliary for
November 10. The dinner will
be planned and served by the
auxiliary, while the Legion will
be responsible for the enter
tainment. The annual duck and
goose dinner is a thing of the
past since public response to
the dinner was so hearty as to
make the undertaking an ordeal,
it was noted. For several years
more than 300 persons were
served. This year's affair will
be only for men of the Legion
and their families and the auxil
iary and their families.
Members are urged to bring
their membership dues for this
year to meetings, to help con
serve rubber.
