Her success in completing the Auxiliary organization in that state and in placing it on a sound administrative basis won her wide recognition. ‘When Mrs. Laubaugh became De- partment President of Idaho in 1925, the Auxiliary membership 'in the state was small and the Da- partment treasurv showed a def- icit. Within a year she had doubled the membership and built up a sub- stantial surplus in the treasury. During the year she organized thej Department into districts to cor- respond with the state organization of the American Legion. She also organized local Auxiliary units for! all Legion Posts in the state which did not have units of the Auxiliary attached to them, so that at the end of the year not a “Bachelor Post” remained in Idaho. During Mrs. Laubaugh’'s year as Department President of Idaho, a memorial hall was erected at the! University of Idaho in honor of the state’s World War dead. Mrs. Lau- baugh conveived and carried out the idea of placing a bronze tablet in the hall on which were engrav- ed the names of all Idaho men who lost their lives in the war. Charter Member At Boise Mrs. Laubaugh is a charter mem- ber of John Regan Unit of Boise| and has been continuously active ! in the Auxiliary since its formation. She served as President of her Unit in 1924 and has held many im- portant local and state committee posts. She was elected National Vice-President for the Western Di- vision at the Auxiliary’s national convention in Boston last Octo- ber. Besides her activities in the Aux- iliary, Mrs. Laubaugh is at present a member of the Boise Red Cross board. For more than two years she served as chairman of the board. She was instrumental in organizing the Federation of Social Agencies of Boise and assisted in the organization of the Boise Com- munity Chest. She is now vice- president of the ‘board of direc- tors of the Chest. She is also a member of the Bonneville Club, an allied civic organization which spon- sors cultural activities in the com- munity. Mrs. Laubaugh was born in Michigan and moved to Idaho as a child. ®Her husband is Dr. Ernest E. Laubaugh, Boise physi- cian, who served as a captain in the Medical Corps during the World War. She has two children, ages 10 and 15 years. STEEL G!RDERS REACH OUT TO SPAN SE A\TTLE LAKE 2 | Framework of the new Aurora span.
