Our Valley
By CHARLES IKEIAN3
r
Ten days ago an Associated Press story reported that Dr.
Daniel G. Clark, 82, of Harrisburg who died a few day&Jater
was -believed to be Oregon's oldest practicing physician . . .
Stories of that nature often bring new candidates for the title
. . t When our Amity correspondent. James Alley, saw the
story aTjout Dr. Clark, he immediately thought of, Amity's
only physician, Pr. Charles H. Law, who also is 82 ... A fur
ther check disclosed that the Amity doctor, born Sept. 5, 1873,
was three months older than the late Dr. Clark ... Dr. Law,
who holds Oregon Medical License No. "695, has delivered over
4,000 babies . .. Besides maintaining a full practice, he is
mayor of Amity ... In a typical month. Correspondent Alley
declares, Dr. Law will attend 10 lodge meetings, three city
council, meetings, a couple of Commercial CJub meetings and
live or more church meetings . . 7 Unless a new candidate
comes along, it looks like Dr. Law is Oregon's eldest practicing
physician .. , And undoubtedly one of the most active.

Original cost would apparently be about $100 per patron with a

So that's the way they do it . . . Aly Shalaby Aly of Egypt,

Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Lavender of SUyton who thought for a tew
. frightful hours that their son, Bobby, had been murdered In Cali
fornia . , , lavender received a telephone call from relatives at
San Fernando. He thought they said that "Bobby" had been slain
. . . It was a bad connection and Lavender was inadvertently cut
off soon after he got that much Information . . After phoning a .
daughter, ,. Mrs. Delbert Chrlsman, in Salem, the Lavenders1'
. hurriedly parked and drove to the railroad station at Salem to
board a train for California . . . Meanwhile, the Salem woman
called California and learned that It was the Stayton couple's niece,
"Barby" Jepsen, that had been murdered ... So another daughter
drove to the railroad station and intercepted the Lavenders shortly
before the traia arrived.

Salem woman adds, most folks she has come in contact with
here say "Origon" instead of giving the "e" a long long-E
sound as she has heard it elsewhere ... Webster's dictionary
gives Oregon an unaccented long E (like the E in create),, but
the same source says "This sound in formal speaking is often
a high but very brief E, as in atheist, but in colloquial speech
it regularly becomes indistinguishable from "i" as in illusion"
... So, if Oregonians say "Origun," apparently they are just
doing what comes naturally . . . Meanwhile, doesny native
