From Camp White
By L. J. "Tick" Malarkey
He was riding over town on
the bus which meets the early
morning train to have his eyes
fitted for glasses. He said his
name was Collins Tom Collins.
It developed that Tom is a
brother of Mike Collins who pro
moted the Dempsey Gibbons
heavyweight championship right
at Shelby, Mont., years ago.
Tom helped Mike with the
promotion of that scrap and al
though they didn't make any
money he said they had a lot
of fun.
"In m y opinion Dempsey
could have knocked out Tommy
Gibbons any time after the
third round. He was content to
get a decision."
Tom Collins enlisted in the
army from his horn state in
Wisconsin and went over seas
with the 88th division and was
in a light field artillery unit.
His brother Mika was with the
Knights of Columbus in those
days as an athletic director. He
died in 1044.
Tom's health gave way in Se
attle a year ago and shortly after
that he came to Camp White.
He declares that Dempsey is the
greatest fighter of all time and
these modern heavy-weights do
not belong in the same ring with
him. Tom has a fund of boxing
lore and knew well most of the
old time fighters.
Paul Kearney, sheriff of Clat
sop county, and Mrs. Kearney,
along with their 19-year-old
daughter, visited in Medford the
past week. Mrs. Kearney and
Mrs. Elliott Becken are sisters
and while the sheriff attended
to some business in Klamath
Falls the two Astoria girls talked
it over.
Sheriff Kearney has held of
fice for about the past 20 years
and It is said that he can be
sheriff of Clatsop county as long
as he lives. He is a Greybeard
from the Old War having done
a hitch in the navy. Kearney Is
in great demand whenever the
Elks lodge has a social meeting.
The stories he tells in the Swed
ish, Finnish or Norwegian dia
lect are without peer. As a
young fellow on the Astoria high
school football teams he was a
mighty good tackle.
"How are you, baby?"
This the greetings of "Babe"
Roberts dozens of times each day
as members of Company 1 go
down the corridors to the mess
hall. "Babe" dines an hour later
as he is on Company A; still he
is out there early to say his typi
cal good wishes to his legion
of friends who pass by.
' During the mid-thirties "Babe"
was on the Gun-boat Panay that
was shelled and sunk by the
Japs, who afterward were "so
sorry" for the mistake. He was
in the marine corps and since
then has been a patient of veter
ans hospitals.
At Camp White he is on the
stiff of the Dominews and is the
creator of the cartoons that ap
pear each issue. At all social
events it is the "Babe" who as
sists with the prizes. Despite the
facts that it is hard for him to
get around, "Babe" Roberts li
a happy man and his constant

Hollywood, June 23 (U.R)
Audie Murphy, America's most
decorated soldier, got his first
screen kiss to
day and all he
could gasp af
terward was:
"Golly, was I
scared."
H wasn't
kidding. The
man who per
sonally knock
ed off 299
nazis a few
years back was
stiff and nerv-
o u s as he
grabbed luscious Marguerite
Chapman for his baptism into
the mystic world of celluloid
smooching.
The director yelled "action"
and Murphy took him up on it.
He planted a burner on Miss
Chapman's red lips that lasted
and lasted and lasted.
The man in charge of these
things at Universal-International
studio clocked the nervous
Romeo at 34 seconds. That's
four seconds longer than the
censors allow.
"Maybe Audie was too scared
to let go," a studio spokesman
grinned. "We'll probably have
to cut those four seconds out."
Victory for Murphy
It was, old-timers report, the
longest smooch in the history of
horse operas. And a victory for
good nature is a tonic for his
many friends. ,
One marvels at the beauties
of the Applegate valley.
A trip there the other day was
an eye-opener. Scores of farms
all so well kept. Most of the
homes are painted white. From
outward appearances this must
be a prosperous valley and ap
parently each family takes pride
in the up-keep of its dwellings.
Dozens of trout fishermen were
seen trying their luck from the
banks of the Applegate river.
Dorothy Anderson, daughter
of Chaplain and Mrs. Henry An
derson, is home for the summer
vacation. Dorothy is a music ma
jor at Stephens college, Colum
bia, Mo., and is studying voice,
radio and television. She is on
the staff of KWWC, the college
radio station, and does script
writing and production work as
part of her student program.
This talented young lady has
a membership in Sigma Gamma
Gamma, honorary music soror
ity, and also belongs to the col
lege chapter of the American
Guild of organists. She sang in
the chorus of "Carmen" and was
the soloist is the operetta "Pir
ates of Penzance." As a mem
ber of the college "Blue Moods"
trio she appeared on "Hormel's"
Showcase as a guest of the
Hormel "Music With The Girls"
radio feature over the American
Broadcasting system. Also is a
member of the Burrall choir at
Stephens . She will return to
Stephens in September.
For 57 years a locomotive bell
was rung at crossroads and
through towns of the Southern
Pacific system. Sunday it will
ring its call to chapel at Camp
White and proper dedication ser
vices will be held in its honor.
Several months ago R. H.
"Bob" Holmes, district freight
and passenger agent, had prom
ised Chaplain Henry Anderson
a bell. A short time ago it ar
rived and with the bell Mr. An-
derson received the following :
letter: j
"I have developed throuRh our j
management that the bell was
removed from locomotive 2930. j
manufactured by Schenectady j
Locomotive builders, in Novem-!
ber 1892. This locomotive has '
been In continuous service at i
various points on our Southern j
Pacific system lines until it was
dismantled on Oct. 31, 1949. En-1
Rine was in service on Portland
division until the time of its dis-,
mantling. We hope the bell will j
fill a useful purpose at your
domiciliary."
Under the direction of Burton
Sims, chief engineer, the chapel
bell Is now housed in specially
constructed bell tower and will
ring out for the first time Sun
day, June 25.

Murphy all the way around.
"They weren't gonna let me
kiss her in 'Kansas Raiders',"
he explained, wiping the lip
stick off his face. "But I play
a cowboy and I figured any
horse opera hero who doesn't
kiss the gal is just plain sucker.
"And they were sure makin'
a sucker out of me. So I did
something about it."
He took his fight to the top
studio brass.
Studio Takes Chance
"A little honest sex never
hurt a man in the wide open j
spaces," he said. "Just because j
cowboys are supposed to con- i
trol themselves and never touch J
a woman doesn't prove they're :
rugged."
The studio decided to take a I
chance. And so It was that Mur-',
phy talked his way into a hun
dred feet of sizzling smackeroo
with the gorgeous Miss Chap
man. And when he got there he
started to shake.
"I was hot for the idea," he
admitted. "But when I got into
it I was scared."
He recovered in record time.
He discovered this kissing is
great stuff.
"Lovely Hps," he kept saying.
"And what poise. What polsel"
HARD MONEY SAFER
Lynchburg, Va. (U.R) A
Lynchburg grocer who worries
about fires has found a wav to
protect his money. Three men i
lugged a steamer trunk into a j
bank here, crammed to the top '
with small change. Cashiers
counted out $1,500 worth. The ;
grocer said he liked to keep his
money in change in case of fire.'
