Reverend Edwin o 'Hara, well known
in educational and legislative cicles,
was Salem visitor last week. Father
o ,Hara, who is an active and import
ant member of the Knights of Colum-
bus order, has recently returned from
France. He took part in the world fam.
ed battle Of the Argonne, and had
many interesting and instructive stor7
les to relate about the Yank soldiers
and their wonderful ability. He also
gave some vivid word pictures of the
plac ewhere the "Lost Battalion was
entrapped, and the "wood they call
the Rouge Boquet'' made immortal by
Joyce Kilmers magnificent poem. Faith
er OaHara, is also director general Of
all the parochial schools of Oregon
and his visit to the Capital city was
strictly an official one.
Madame Winnifred Lugrin Fahey is
Irish only by marriage. Therefore there
was no touch Of blarney at all, at all,
in the pretty speech she made at Mrs,
W. Il. jerks reception last evening.
Speaking directly to Mr.. Todd she SAID
in part, cit was perfect wonder to
me to find in a town of this size an
Apollo club of such marvellous abil-
lity. The blending of the voices and
the wonderful harmony Of the entire
concert would 90 credit to cities many
times the size Of Salem" 1t must be
remembered that Madame Fahey nails
from Canada where cities have been
growing and expanding since the time
| Of Marquette and Joliet, and this fact
adds greater weight to her tribute. She
complimented Mr.. Todd on his direc-
| tion and the entire club on its singu-
lar triumph.

duty at the capital were entertained
at the regular biennial dinner, gwen
during each session of the legislature

real Oregon dinner, everything ex
cept the table linen, the silverware and

A movement that may be of interest
to various women's organizations OF
Salem was launched by the Grade
Teachers association of Portland AZ
their meet ing Wednesday afternoon,
when II voted to ssadopt' one or two
children in Portland who have been
made orphans through the epidemic ot
influenza. These children wall be adopt
ed in the same manner that Belgian
and French babies have been cared
for, and the grade teachers feel tnat
at the present time the need for the
support Of needy children at home is
equally as great as the call of foreign
children.
