Instruction Need Seen For Working New Iron Lung Ashland, Jan. 28 Possibility of furnishing instructions in the operation of iron lungs to phy sicians and nurses in southern Oregon was seen here today, fol lowing the death Wednesday of a Grants Pass child who was placed in Ashland's iron lung after it was taken to her home by a police escort. Those who accompanied the lung from Ashland to Grants Pass were only partly familiar with its operation, it was point ed out, and it was felt here that more expert operation of the lung might have prolonged the life of the six-year-old girl. ' Had Paralysis The child, Janet Youngberg, had been suffering from paraly sis of the left side brought on by an attack of bronchitis. She had been recovering from an opera tion for a brain tumor recently. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Youngberg, who operate the Little Sweden Smor gasbord in Grants Pass. Janet and her twin sister were six years old last Sunday. Ken Jones, who with Sher man Hadley accompanied the lung to Grants Pass, emphasized yesterday the futility of having an iron lung unless knowledge of its operation is not common among physicians. Given Monday The equipment was presented only last Monday to the Jack son county chapter of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis by the Ashland Junior Chamber of Commerce. Also under discussion today was the idea of forming an emer gency transporation squad for the lung for use in just such cases as the Youngberg girl's illness. Yets Hobby Group To Conduct 'Fair' Camp White. Jan. 28 A hobby fair conducted by the arts and crafts division of special services will be held here in the j lear future, giving the amateur laDidnrists. or rock-hounds, an added incentive to intensify their ' search for the type of rock which, when refined, produces1 semi-precious stone of unique natural design. According to Harry Teorey. head of arts and crafts, this area of the Rogue River valley is es pecially productive of quartz, agate, and jasper type rock; wlille it is singularly barren of the type of minerals to be found in other nearby localities. Several hundred specimens of the finished product are now on display In the show room here, Including bracelets, rings, tic clasps, and other forms of cos tume jewelry. The center has professional machinery for the purpose, slab bing saws for cutting, grinding wheels for shaping, and sanders and polishers for the final touch. As facet cutting requires a high degree of skill, most of the surfaces arc rounded to varying curvatures, called cabachons . It Is hoped that many mem bers will be added to the 20 or more "rockhouniis" who are ad dicted to this hobby.
