Pickin' Pears SST- By X- J- "TICK- MALARKEY" " It was good to get a letter from Pat Connolly from the Veterans Home at Napa, Cal. Pat spent about a year here and kept busy painting signs for the engineer ing department He was a skilled sign painter in civilian life. While on the' station this good natured Irishman made many friends. During Pat's youthful days prior to World War I he spent a couple of years digging razor clams for a cannery located at Oysterville, Wash. Pat never tired of tell ing these experiences and at the same time always longing for a big platter of fried clams. He was not alone in this wishful thought. ; Paul Camp is back after sev eral months leave of absence. Camp spent most of his leave in California. He is a World War I veteran. Jim Hukill had on display a hooked rug which is a master piece. This work of art is 36 by 48 inches and has woven in its pattern a dog and its two pup pies. Many' hours of painstaking labor have gone into its manufac ture and Jim can be well proud of the results. Nothing like it has ever been turned out here before. With "Irish" Duffy, John Bear den and Ruby Mallory of the Navy Mothers this writer spent a' pleasant evening Wednesday playing pitch. The Navy Mothers had weighed anchors and come to Camp White with a cargo of pies to entertain the veterans at cards. We had lots of fun and it was a pleasure to play pitch with a lady. Ruby knows all of the fine points of this intricate game of cards high, low, jack and the game. When the VFW auxiliary of Rogue River was snowed out Wednesday and couldn't come to Camp White to put on the enter tainment for that post's open meeting. Commander Willard Abbott hustled around and got together enough talent on the station to make a big evening. Deane Stewart, Art Kenton, Archie BcBeth, Dock Morris, Joe Greco, John Unger and "Radio" Coffey whipped up a show for the post that was a dandy. Com mander Abbott i very grateful to -the boys for their good work. Roy Parker has well over a 100 ruga that he will have on display and for sale at the Hobby Fair this coming month. April Z7 is the date, nans are in ine making for the biggest show of all time. George "Junior" Mitchell, the Old Gyrene, has returned to the domiciliary. While away "Jun ior": spent some time at Barnes VA hospital. He then went to work for the S.P.&S.' in San Francisco. Became ill while on the job and entered the VA hos pital at Whipple, Calif. He is now back in Jackson county to reel perate at Camp White. When here before Mitchell was a mem ber' employee on the Dominews staff as stencil cutter. Calling out like an army drill sergeant snappy, we mean Mrs. Roy Stoy put on an evening of games for the Medford post and its auxiliary of the Ameri can Legion which was a treat to attend. This lady really kept the ball rolling and the prizes were liberal this past Tuesday eve ning. "Ave" Schoonmaker of the membership turned the crank for another series jof games when the Pythian Sisters entertained Wednesday afternoon. George Thorington of Rose- burg has checked in. Good to see him again, a friend of long stand ing. Thorington at one time worked for the VA as a cook in the Walla Walla hospital. For some time he has made his home in Roseburg. Phil Goss of Camp White's voter registrar's office advises that he has registered 200 new voters who have resided in pre cinct 73 for the past six month. Registration will close April 15. This precinct embraces the lo calities of White City, Camp White, Agate and Beagle.

Outage Expected Hear Reedsport Eugene UJ5 Bonneville Power administration district headquarters in Eugene Satur day informed resident! of the Coos Bay-Reedsport area there was a possibility that power serv ice to the region would be inter rupted until linemen could re place 28 insulator units damaged by .22 caliber rifle fire. W. E. Trommershausen, south west area manager for BP A, said the insulators were damaged on the 115 -kilo volt transmission line, two miles south of the Coos Bay substation. He estimated damage at $500. Replacement of insulators prob ably will have to be made under "hot line" conditions, he said, because of the importance of the line.
