From Camp white
Br L. J. "Tick" Malarkay
W always maka it a point to
visit Legion posts. Have been a
member ever sinoc Clatsop Post
12, Astoria, wai organized in
September, 1919. Dropped in to
take a look at Medford Post 15
and here found Buck Knight,
manager. A brother Sigma Nu-er,
old friend Buck told about Med
ford and its people. We had a
good laugh or two recalling tome
of the highlights of state conven
tions. Attending state Legion
conventions is good work if you
are young enough to miss about
three night s sleep.
We met a boy from Brook
lyn Jim Al Cochrane, who is
convalescing from an automobile
accident. Cochrane was born and
raised in Brooklyn and went to
sea for years. Lately he has been
cooking in logging camps and
plans to resume his trade in the
near future near Coos Bay. -
Al is a Greybeard from WW
One. Friend Cochrane says that
the only ball club in the world
ie the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Chaplain Henry W. Anderson
had his first Camp White birth
day last Sunday. Just a year ago
he took up his duties at the Center.
"Sky Pilot" Anderson is both
a ' Greybeard and a Kid
another one of those who pitched
a double header. Back in '17 he
joined a combat engineer outfit
in San Francisco and marched
in the Big Parade across France
and Belgium and into Germany.
The last Big Argument found
him "down under" but instead
of a rifle he was toting an organ
that was used for services afloat
and ashore.
He is a lot of fun to talk to,
and be Her yet he understands
veterans' problems. A real job
he does out this way.
SuiK'ay, Dr. and Mrs. John
Hask; drove from Roseburg
to J : .ford and Camp White.
Whilu here they visited Dr. and
Mrs. William White and Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Hatton. Ever since
transferring from the Valley of
the Umpquas to the Valley of
the Rogues 4 weeks ago to
day "Private M" has wanted
to say something about John
Haskins, M.D., VA hospital man
ager at Roseburg. Something
good. Because he rates it.
He graduated from the Uni
versity of Minnesota and to earn
his medical education corre
sponded for newspapers. He got
All-American honors as a back
on the football team, class of '15
and was an all-conference guard
on the basketball squad.
Clark Shaughnessy, the now
famous coach, teamed with Half
back Haskins. The coach was
Hank Williams who really put
over the much debated T forma
tions. However, H la the Hnskins of

Union high school's gymnasium

Hopkins said the fire was dis

nearby residents reported hear

This evening at 8 o'clock '
there will be a formal installa
tion of a Medford chapter of the
Gold Star Mothers of this com
munity, in the Camp White audi
torium. To this writer an occa
sion of this kind is a solemn one.
and yet not one of too much
sadness. Because my own moth
er, who is not with us anymore,
wore two of the golden stars '
when the war was over in 1918.
Brothers Bob and Gerald didn't
make it.
"Mom," brave soldier that she i
was, never let down when it
came to meetings like this. She i
always was there, standing erect ;
and proud, and through it all ,
nerhaos came the consolation tor i
our great loss in France. Folks
were assembled to pay ner, ana
thousands like her, the greatest
tribute that any mother, could '
receive.
America will never forget.
