1 MX MEDF3RD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. May 24, 1950 ! 4 Pickin' Pears News, Gossip, Comment From Camp White Rv I.. J. "Tick" Malarkev Every once and a while when we punch out "Camp White" on the typewriter we get to think ing about the trout fishing trip mat some 01 ua av rvaiuim iuun the good General George White on when the Oregon national guard wai encamped at Clatsop vaof hAFnrn Pparl Harbor. A year or two before the game commission naa reieasea several thousand steelhead and silver salmon fingerlings In Sunset lake.

General White was invited to go fishing. In the afternoons a northwest wind usually kicks up and the waters of Sunset lake become choppy. Such was the situation the evening ine urau (ha nmonn national jimu ui l I w ft . guard took his post, tackle in hand, those years gone ay. Tho armv man hpffan hlfl fun u.

This writer has heard some pretty good two-fisted cussing nnn,.n4 InaoinO f-amnc. SBWmillS and seining grounds, but never has he heard a rival 10 ueueioi George White. Not vulgar, not ii obscene just plain All Ameri can cussing that never repeated Itself and never stopped for at least 10 minutes. When it was out of his system he untangled and cast again this time he landed and continued to do so until a limit was taken. "Thats all they needed." he "And in Medford. General White will always be remem bered. This station is named for him. After the Mothers day services last week, Chaplain John Cum misky wanted me to meet the two charming young ladies who ang in duet, and the equally charming lady who accompanied them. This was arranged and after a moment's visit it de veloped that Mrs. Robert Corliss, the accompanist, was the daugh ter of Artie Hawkins who lived at Ilwaco, Wash., for so many years and whom I knew as a kid and through young manhood. Bob Corliss brought his family to Medford some years ago and is with the Bear Creek orchards. The family make their home at 379 O'Gara street. Daughter Phyllis and Gertrude Lewis are a talented pair who have prom ised to come again to sing at Camp White. Ilwaco Is across the bay from Astoria, and as kids going to high school and college we used to be employed at Sand Island by the Columbia River Packer's association, horse seining for salmon during the months of June, July and August. This method of taking salmon is now illegal, but while it lasted many a college kid owed pari of the expense of his education to this summer employment. Well we remember the after noon we landed 180.000 pounds of Chinook on one tide and work ad long past midnight getting tha catch off the beach and to tha fish scow, where it in turn was hauled by launch to the As toria canneries. Met up with Irving Kenney in the coffee canteen, presided over by Vera and Gladys. The lad Rets over the ground in a wheel chair now, but for 22 years he was a cop in Everett, Wash. When WW I was declared young "Irv" Ken tnlisted in a cavalry outfit and was on the Mexican border with it. Later they were dismounted and he was assigned to artillery. Greybeard Kennedy Is one of the newer transfers to White from Barnes at Vancouver, Wash., and as far as he has gone likes all that he sees out on the plains. Plans on doing some work in the hohby shop Just as soon as he gets squared around. "Come on Daddy, let's go fish ing. I want to." Chaplain Henry Anderson looked up to see his teen age daughter. Mary Lou, swinging a baseball bat and dressed in jeans. It was quitting time a few days ago. So the chaplain went fish ing he hasn't much sales re sistance when it comes to Mary Lou the youngest of his three daughters. From Central Point eighth grade Mary Lou Anderson will graduate in a lew days. And in September a very important year looms ahead she will be a freshman in high school, Vtrnetla Brainerd. That Is the name of the lady who sat down with a sigh in a coffee shop wor rying about her project for the woman of Rotary. "Tubby" Deane introduced me and after a while it developed that Ver netta Brainerd took thousands of pictures during the war years out her at Camp White. Seems that civilians were employed during construction days, and all had to wear badges with their printed pictures on same. That was Vernetta's job taking those pictures. Later when nusoano ran join ed th army as a technician she went with him from post to post. Incidentally Phil was discharged ergeant major, which in "Pri vate M's" book is the finest rank that Uncle Samuel can give. To day in Medford he and his broth er operate Brainerd's Photo and Camera shop. This is a suggestion to ver- netta Brainerd. You women of Rotary could have a project out here on the plains of Camp White which would last for. a century or more. In brief, plant some shade trees. Soft maple would do good and grow fast. From those Eagle Point boost ers comes an invitation to at tend their square dance jambo ree to be held in the high school gvmnasium the evening of May 26. With Lee Rausdale calling the numbers, the good people up Eagle Point way say that have entertainment which is unsur passed. Proceeds oi tne jamooree go to the improvement of the high school athletic field. Folk dancing every third set. The Zuni Indians are famed for their silver and turquoise Jewelry, employing designs de veloped before the coming of the Spaniards In 1540. Better Highways Needed in Country Washington, May 24 (U.R) State highway officials appealed to congress today for help in stopping national "strangula tion" by traffic congestion. Present roads are totally in adequate for either city or inter state travel, they said. They called for a long-range federal state program to give the coun try better highways. They testified before a senate public works subcommittee on a bill to authorize $961 million a year In federal aid to states for highway construction. The house last week approved a bill to au thorize $646,500,000 a year. JUST SALES TALK Detroit (U.R) Cecil Bruton, realtor, doesn't put "sold" signs on the new houses he sells. His read "too late." Better psychol ogy, he said.
