120 Acres Of Berries
Estimated In Valley
There are about 120 acres of
commercially-grown berries in
.Tacltsnn and JoseDhine counties.
it was estimated Saturday by
Walter Kasworm. secretary of
the Rogue Valley Berry Growers
association. And Kasworm said
that there is sufficient demand
for cannery berries that an addi
tional 20 to 50 acres could be
grown profitably on a commer
cial basis.
Members of the association
hold about 96 of the berry acre
age in the two counties, Kas
worm said, divided into 30 of
raspberries, 32 of boysenberries
and 34 of strawberries. Non
member holdings, amounting to
about 24 acres, include five of
strawberries, twelve of boysen
berries and seven of raspberries.
34 Members
Thirty-four growers are mem
bers of the association, Kasworm
said.
For those thinking of growing
berries, Kasworm had a few
words of advice. Profits running
between $500 and $1,000 per
acre after harvest are possible
he said, but only if the berry
patches are large enough. Small
patches of only an acre or so do
not prove to be profitable, he
said.
Cape Foulweather, now popu
larly known as Otter Crest, on
the Oregon coast near Newport,
was discovered and so named in
March, 1778, 14 years before the
Columbia river was discovered
by Captain Gray.
The Cascade mountains in
Washington average 6.000 feet at

Treatment Given
Youngster With
Help Of Society
11 -Year-Old Walking
With Aid Of Crutches
This is a report on Jerome
"Snuffy" Haas.
Snuffy is the eight-year-old
youngster, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Haas, 922 Boardman street,
who was one of last year's polio
victims from Medford. He was
stricken with infantile paralysis
the day after Easter last year,
and was hospitalized in Eugene,
with the March of Dimes paying
all hospitalization and prelimin
ary treatment expenses.
Society Helping
It was after he was discharged
from the hospital in July that
another organization, the Ore
gon Society for Crippled Chil
dren and Adults, the Easter seal
agency, stepped into the picture,
and is aiding Snuffy with treat
ments designed to permit him to
walk again. He is now attend
ing the Children's Hospital school
at Eugene under the sponsorship
of the Medford chapter of the
Oregon society.
When the youngster was re
leased from the hospital, both
his legs were paralyzed. He came
home, and his parents bought
him crutches, but he didn't know
how to use them, and couldn't
walk, or even crawl.
This was a tragic situation for
a boy who, since he was four
years old, had gone fishing with
his father every summer, and
who had been active in classes
at both the Lincoln school and
St. Mary's academy.
Enters Hospital School
In September his parents de
cided that the youngster should
receive the specialized treat
ment available at the Children's
Hospital school in Eugene. This
is the organization which is sup
ported by the Oregon Society for
Crippled Children and Adults,
and is devoted to caring for
those who have any one of a
number of physical handicaps.
The cases are not limited to
polio, and some of the young
sters had cerebral palsy and
other crippling diseases.
Snuffy began almost immedi
ately the special treatments and
training at the hospital. Ex
penses for the youngster, in
cluding board and room in a
foster home in Eugene, and nom
inal tuition at the hospital
school, amount to about $140
ner month, which is paid by his
father.
Aids Others
Haas is quick to explain that
he is undertaking this expense
at his own volition, and that if
he were unable to do so, the
Oregon society would under
write Snuffy's care and ex
penses. But the boy's father ex
plained this week that he feels

SNUFFY'S GETTING BETTER Snuffy, 1 1-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Haas, Medford, is shown above at work on some
puppets, which are a part of the training and treatment which he
is receiving at the Children's Hospital school in Eugene1, as a result
of polio which crippled the youngster less than a year ago. The
boy, who could neither walk nor crawl last September, is now
walking with the aid of crutches, and frequently comes home to
Medford on week-ends. The story of the youngster is told in the
accompanying article. Much of his treatment is furnished bv the
Easter Seal agency, the Oregon Society for Crippled Children and
Adults.
by making these payments ho is
giving some other youngster a
chance for treatment that they
might not otherwise receive.
And he goes on to say that
there wouldn't even be the hos
pital school if it weren't for the
Oregon society (which benefits
from the sale of Easter seals) be
cause the school is supported
and maintained by grants from
the society.
In many cases, when parents
are unable to assume the expense
of keeping their children in
Eugene, the Oregon society takes
care of the entire expense.
Snuffy has been in the hos
pital for six months now, and
each month has shown an im
provement. The boy who
couldn't even crawl a few months
ago now walks with crutches.

and comes' home every week or
so by plane to visit with his
parents. He arrived in town Fn
day afternoon on one of these
trips.
When the planes aren't flying,
Snuffy makes the trip to Med
ford by bus or train, all alone.
His father, Dan. is mightv
proud of the progress being
made hv Snilffv. nnrl hn cnirl
I proudly but a little sheepishly
I that the boy missed a trio home
a week or so ago because he'd
slanned a teacher.
"Some spirit that kid's got,"
I he said.
I It's because of this Droeress
that Dan Haas, and Snuffy, are
so enthusiastic about the appeal
being made currently bv the
Oregon Society for Crippled
Children and Adults. If you
have some question about "the
worthiness of this appeal, just
ask them.
Haas also pointed out that Un
building in which the Hosnital
school is now housed will be
lost to the group this year, and
it will be necessary to construct
a new one. He says that he is
going to raise some money to
help do that job.

The B. F. Goodrich Puncture Sealing Tubeless Tire
The construction of the new puncture-sealing tubeless tire is shown in this
cross-section. The special concentric ridges molded on the beads seal the
tire against the rim and prevent air from getting out around the edges while
rubber washers inside and outside the valve keep the air from escaping that
way. The sealant on the inner side of the tread area, a thick, gummy rubber,
gives the tire its puncture-sealing qualities.

Dance Jamboree
Details Told As
Event Approaches
Further details of the square
dance jamboree being sponsor
ed here next week by the Med
ford YMCA were given Saturday
by Mrs. Nancy Davies, publicity '
chairman for the affair.
The jamboree is in the nature
of a first anniversary celebra
tion for "Y" square dancing.
Mrs. Davies said. The program
has grown from a few interested
dancers to one of the largest of
the YMCA's activities, with many
dancers, both beginners and
those more experienced, partici
pating. The jamboree will be held in
the Medford high school gym
nasium, with dancers on the
floor and spectators in the au
dience section. All who attend
to watch will be assured a good
view of the dancing, Mrs. Davies
said. She added that the event
will be a good chance for those
who have considered starting
square dancing to see how it is
done.
CalUr Coming
The caller for the jamboree is
one of the outstanding callers on
the Pacific coast, according to
experienced dancers. He is Jack
Hoheisal. a popular recording
caller. Those in charge of the
dance event here next week say
that he has had experience in
handling large groups of danc
ers, and that this experience is
necessary to make a smooth per
formance for both dancers and
spectators.
Mr. and Mrs. Hoheisal will ar
rive by air the afternoon of the
jamboree, and will be guests of
the Glen Smiths during their
stay here. The Smiths, who mov
ed here last year from Los An
geies, were members of dance
groups for which Hoheisal called
in California.
