PORT ORFORD NEWS Port Orford. Oregon, Tuesday, October 4, 1932. -A-ti C L U I3 F in e T r a in in g Hundreds of camps were held this summer all over the country for 4-H club members. These camps are not places to go and simply have a lot of fun, as some might think The club members do have fun, but it is organ ized, and teaches the member many new things about the out-of-doors. Boys who had learned to paddle around in a swimming hole and thought they could swim learn? 1 they were very poor swimmers. Girls who thought they knew something about nature found they knew little. Camp life as organized in these camps is a revelation in what they may do for a boy or girl, just as it was for a girl who attended a camp near Water- town, New York. This girl, Lois Chase, made a report on her experience. She says the first and best thing she learned was good sportsmanship In her home life her older sister had always given in to her and she had become a "poor loser". In the camp there was no par tiality. Every member had to stand on his own merit The reaction of this little girl was hard at first. Then she grew determined to honestly win in the various contests which were a part of the camp program.

"With a group properly organized it was pos sible to accomplish anything reason able.” Handicraft proved interesting to this girl and from what she learned in camp she was able to make some nice baskets for Christmas. “I am sure all in the camps learned more about weeds, trees, bugs and flowers than they ever knew before," she remarks. "Before going to camp I never gave the stars a thought, but now after my camp astronomy lessons the first thing I do in bright evenings when I am out is to look for the dippers and other features of the heavens. Miss Chase adds that she learned more about swimming and diving than she ever could have by herself She was able to win a life-saving badge at the camp, and now is qualified to help teach others the proper way to swim. She also prizes the acquaintances she has made and the ability to make and keep friends. Best of all she has gained, she savs, is a bright appreciation of the value of good homes.

D eau J i l.n S ira u b , " g r a n d vdU ■uau " of Oregon, for 54 >ears friend and counsellor of students, who gave practically all of his ac tive life to the I'nlverslty of Ore gon. died at his home In Eugene on September 18, taking from the University its stuunchest friend and supporter, yet leaving a rich and powerful tradition th at even his passing can not erase. The death of Dean Straub came on the eve of the beginning of a new school year, at which time for more than half a cen tury the veteran and beloved edu cator has proudly welcomed hts "biggest and best freshm an class ever.” With the exception of one year when Illness kept hint from his fam iliar post at the doorway of registration headquarters, this year will be the only one of the past 54 th at an entering freshm an will be denied the priviledge of personally receiving the greeting of the "grand old m an" who knew each student by name and whose Influence has been felt In all cor ners of the sta te— in fact w her ever an Oregon student now re sides. the death of Dean Straub will be genuinely mourned as the passing of one of the greatest pei- sonal influences of the state. Dean Straub was born In Phil adelphia. Penn., April 6, 1853. Ho attended Mercersburg c o lle g e from which he received his B. A. degree In 1876 and later hl" 51. A. degree. In 1878 he was m arried ; to Cornelia Miller In Philadelphia. The same sum m er they came ' ! weBt. Dean Straub expecting to become a court rep o rter and to «indy law on the side. But a chain I of circumstances brought him to the University of Oregon, where the rem ainder of his life was spent. The story of how he chanced to Join the staff of the University has often been related by Dean Straub. Because of an Injury to his ankle on the eve of the open ing of school he was unable to accept a teaching position at Col umbia City. After the ankle hud healed Dean Straub decided to stra t a night school in Portland. While posting a circular announc ing tfint his school would teach Latlw, German, Greek, geometry and some six or seven other cour ses, a stranger watching him ask ed If he could really teach all those subjects. Dean Straub said he could. The stran g er was Judge IJeady, president of the board of regents of the University, and he offered S traub a teaching Job with the University. Thus was the beginning of Dean Straub's association with the University. He taught practically every course offered there at that time. In 1899 he became Dean of the School of L iterature, Selene* and Arts. In 1920 he became Dean of Men; and In 1925 dean em eri tus, although still continuing to teach Greek language and litera ture. Two years ago, because of Ill ness be was forced to give up hit active teaching work. But he could not forget the University, for even up to a few days of his death he m aintained an active in terest in the present problems of the school, where even the stately flr trees on the campus are a result of htai own labors World S en es Baseball A gain Hollywood tongues are wagging again.
