Ten Local Legion
Men To Be Named
Deputies of Sheriff

AS a result OF a suggestion by
Sheriff Ruel Taylor, ten members of
the local post Of the American Legion
will be appointed deputy sheriffs for
uses In cases Of emergency. The sug-
gestion Of the sheriff was passed up
on by the Legion Monday night and
unanimously accepted. The ten men
will be appointed by Post Adjutnat
Ralph Daugherty. only those willing
to serve being appointed.
Sheriff Taylor is not looking for
any such contingency. such as would
warrant the calling out of these de-
puties. to arise. but as one OF the
aims Of the American Legion is to
help uphold the constitution Of the
United States and its laws, the plan
is thought will be for good.
The psychological effect Of having
veterans of the world war on the
force will be effective in preventing
such emergencies to arise.
Legion posts all over the country
have adopted the plan and it has
worked out successfully wherever
tried. In Tulsa, the men already dep
utized and all the legion men called
upon did great work in quieting the
recent riots there. and in many other
places, in case of fire when a posse
was needed. 1t has been found that
the ex-soldiers are more valuable
help than are the average men picked
up.
For time spent In working for the
sheriff. the men appointed receive
pay. and are expected to be ready for
action at moments notice. The
names Of the men appointed will be
announced as soon as they are ap-
pointed.
