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.
