Home Department of G. w. S. S.


The Home department of the Good
Will Sunday school is proving of
much worth to the community at
Good Will. 1t has been described by
one Of its members as follows: ION
October 10, 1916, child was born to
the Good Will Sunday school and
named Home Department. Since
that time others have been added to
this Sunday school family. One was
called the Beginners class. Another
is expected in the near future to be
known as the Good Will Cradle Roll.
All are cordially welcomed in the
family circle, each filling its own
place and doing its own work and
as we try to add to the comfort and
well being of those about us we hope
it may be thought of as parents think
of their children: How did we get
along without them" In looking up

test on the floor OF the American Lee

to the official attitude toward Colo.

nations air service, seemed certain
today. regardless OF action In conf
mittee.
The Rev. Joe Mike Lonergan of
Illinois, national chaplain OF the
legion. last night was chosen by the
Oregon delegation to take the place
OF the states delegate-at-large, who
did not come 10 the convention. He
Is known TO be a strong supporter
OF Colonel Mitchell, and in the un-
usual action by the Oregon repre-
scntatives some Of the delegates pro-
fessed to see a determined move
toward a showdown on the Mitchell
matter. Chaplain Loncrgan Is a
forceful speaker.
The aeronautical committee was
to meet today TO receive the report
OF sub committee Of five appoint
ed last Monday TO digest numerous
proposals for resolutions to be re-
ported to the convention. It was In
dicatcd that the subcommittee rec
concentration would be that Colonel
Mitchell's suggestion for n unified
air service under a separate cabinet
officer he accorded the legion's ap-
proval, but that the name Of no per-
son he mentioned.
While that was regarded rs sotis-
factory In some quarters, In others
II was regarded as sidestepping the
actual issue.
After the gala occasion Of yester-
day. when the legion laid aside its
work to hear an address by Presi-
dent Coolidge and to march In
colorfu1 four-mle parade beside
the chief executive, a pcrfunctory
program was set for today with SIX
addresses by high ranking army and

additional time for the committees
to perfect their recommendation
