Ladies Auxiliary of the American
Legion gave Father and Son Ban.
quet at the chamber of commerce
room for the ex-soldiers and their
father and sons.
The room was filled to overflowing
and the tables were different from
/ those we sat down to in 1917 and
18th. The ladies know how to
prepare feed and the crowd did
justice to it, -.
Ken Hall gave short address
which was well worth hearing and
was appreciated by the audience This
was followed by several vocal and
instrumental selections by some of
Payette's talented young ladies' Prof
Adams High School Girls Glee Club
gave several selections which pleased
the audience.
The Legion then held a short bust
ness meeting, plans were perfected
for a military ball to be held at the
Payette Pavilion. March II, so we!
urge and salute the support of the
public to make this success. An
ex-soldiers and sailors who have uni-
forms are asked to wear them as we
"Ouit INV oo iehi sc d percentage VI
uniforms showing as possible.
Monday, March will be a big
night for the Payette Legion as the
crack Weiser team will be here tol
put on the Ritual work. This will be
the first time most OF US has ever
seen it and they say it is good.
All ex-soldiers are invited to be i
present whether members of the
Legion or not. Those who can spare
the SO to join can have the fun of
going through but the rest can watch
and after they see it, we are told
they will get three dollars if it is
necessary to get it by force.
The entertainment committee will
have some real entertainment also.
Commander Helman, flyweight class
was challenged to a 20-round bout
by lightweight and if permission
from the state boxing commission can
be secured this ought to be a battle
of the century. We will have a pair
OF gloves there and everyone who
feels so inclined can no doubt be ac-
commodated with few friendly
rounds.
