MEDFORD (OREGON! MAIL TRIBUKZ THIRTEEW Year's' Work by Veterans to Culminate in Hobby EFair Sundsr. April 20. IS52 Third Annual Show Features Projects By Camp Veterans Wide Range of Items On Display April 27 A year of painstaking work (or some 50 to 60 Camp White vet erans will be highlighted Sun day, April 27, by the 1952 arts and crafts hobby fair. On dis play at the annual event, to be held in the camp theater, will be a wide variety of objects, tome of which will be for sale, which the veterans have made during the past year. The affair, sponsored by the Veterans Administration Volun tary Service advisory commit tee, will give Rogue valley resi dents a chance to see first hand that those veterans taking part in the event have a vast store of creative abilities and patience, 1 despite various physical handi- caps. Wide Rang , Articles on display will range from elaborately worked furni : ture and lamps and delicate jew elry and leather work, to un usual "gimmicks" which are de signed more for the veteran's own amusement than for prac ' tlcal use. ' Also among the items the vet erans have made are colorful rugs, unusually accurate minia ture and collections of many ar ticles, including bright colored pictures of animals and birds from all parts of the world and ; divisional insignia from branches of the United States army in - vvunu wars i ana 11. Among the more unusual ar ticles made by the veterans, seen on a recent trip through the hob by shop, was a table, constructed of myrtle wood with a top made of hundreds of one - half inch square pieces of plywood, set on edge to form a surprisingly at tractive pattern. Takes Long Work The builder of the unique ta ble, A. A. Ingersoll, estimates that, had its construction been a steady process, it would have taken him eight hours a day for many weeks to complete it. He believes that on the east coast, "where people really appreciate wood," the table would be worth at least $100. s Other veterans specialize in stone polishing, and have attrac tive collections of stones unique ; to this area, including medford- ; ite and roguite. Materials for some of these projects are donated, but the vet- j erans find much of it themselves. Ingersoll, for example, found a discarded stool made of a large ; burl on one of his, field trips. ; The stool, apparently quite old, has been made into a cribbage : board, bowls and other items. The veterans who will be tak ing part in the hobby and arts shows are the most advanced of an average of about 300 Camp . White veterans who have taken up some type of part-type activ- : ity. Many Attend Sessions An average of 225 veterans each month attend teaching ses sions in the camp's arts and crafts shops, where they can ; learn numerous hobbies, includ i n g leathercraft, metalcraft, woodwork, minerology, photog raphy, basket and rug weaving, painting and radio and watch re pairing. They attend the ses sions and practice on their own initiative and may enter anyi field which interests them. Materials and equipment for the arts and crafts shop are fur nished at government expense. "Ty" Tyorey, a civil service em ployee and a former Philadel , phia engineer, acts as the instruc f'i tor for all of the classes. This "jack-of-ail-trades" teacher is equally at home teaching rug weaving, watch repairing and photography, and if he runs up against a question that's new to him he knows who to ask or where to go to find the answer. Move To Hobby Shop After the veterans became suf ficiently skilled at their chosen crafts, they move on to the hob by shop where they have indi vidual rooms, or sections of rooms to devote to building, making or assembling what in terests them most. In the hobby shop they must furnish their own materials and may sell their products. Some of the veterans have invested considerable sums j in their hobbies. The veterans are looking for- ( ward to next Sunday's fair with ; great interest for several rea-, sons. First, for those who so de sire, it will be an opportunity to sell their products. Second, and j evrually important to many, is j competition for prizes among the veterans. I A first, second and third prize will be awarded in each of sev eral categories and a special prize will go to the veteran dls-! playing the most unusual exhibit. $5 in canteen books, second place winners will- get $3 in canteen ij books and $2 in canteen books ! will go to third prize winners, i All winners will receive ribbons and each veteran entering an ex-' l- frCftl 1.:-.. .-. ; iiUi MANY HOBBIES Pictured above are a few of the many articles made by Camp White veterans during their spare time These, and many other products of the veterans' hob hibit will receive a carton of cigarettes. Judges Named Judges will be Leland Ment zer and Paul Gasparotti, Med ford high school teachers, and Miss Marion Ady, who is in charge of the Southern Oregon college art department. Judging will take place from 8 to 10 a.m. The annual fair has the dou ble value of giving an incentive to the men and giving the public an opportunity to look over the domiciliary center and see what is being done there, according to Manager Paul Hatton. He said the men are encouraged to take part in arts and crafts because of the physical and mental ther apy which it offers them. An average of about 28 per cent of the men at the center take part in some part ot the program each month, he said. Pleased With Interest Hatton said that he was "ex tremely pleased" with the inter est the public has shown in the fair in past years and stated that the public is invited to attend. He expressed the hope that at tendance at this year's fair will be the largest in the three-year nistory of the event. The Veterans Administration volunteer service which spon sors the fair is made up of 21 Rogue valley organizations and numerous individuals. Paul Ol sen is general chairman for the event and Tyorey is acting as co ordinator. Jacksonville Shop Classes Show Items Jacksonville Plaques, book ends, trays, stools and other decorative and decorated items are included in a display from the industrial arts classes ot Jacksonville high school, now located in three windows next to Ben's Food market here.

Youth Legislature Considers 58 Bills Salem (U.R) The youth legislature meeting in Oregon's capitol Saturday considered 58 bills ranging from such timely topics as stiffer penalties for persons who peddle narcotics to minors to one requiring every junior and senior high school student to plant a tree a year. The youth legislators, who today are winding up a two-day full scale model of the state legislature, have quite an impos ing list of measures. Beer ID Card One would make it mandatory for a person up to 25 or 30 years of age to carry an identification card to show when buvinB a beer at the bar or a bottle at the slate liquor store. The idea is to make it almost impossible for a minor to get intoxicating beverages. Another measure would es tablish a board for censorship of indecent periodicals, though It has no provision for a board of censorship to censor the board of censorship passing on the periodicals. Compulsory Voting Another bill would make vot ing compulsory with a $2 penal ty for each neglected election. And looking forward to the hunting season, another pro posal would make it illegal to carry a loaded gun in a car at night during open season. In open season it's illegal to hunt at night.

Model IR Pickin' Pears By J. J. "Tick" Malarkey When President Horace Isaacs called the Camp White Fishing club to order Monday night the. roll was answered by 31 men.

Haniei Anyone who has ever suffer ed from migraine headaches doesn't have to be told what miserable experience it is. But migraine, frequently known as "sick headache" can be made to respond to proper treatment, de- spite all the "mystery" sur rounding the discussion of It. TJwre are three principal symptoms ol migraine: head ache, digestive troubles, and dis turbances of circulation. Basi cally, therefore, It is a nerve disturbance. A smoothly func tioning nervous system would not allow for such symptoms. The migraine pain usually set tles Jn one side e! the head. Then it may move irom one side to the other. Most intense pain is around the eyes; this Is. mad worse by light, noise, or move ment. Without any special cause, apparently, the pain at times be come nearly unbearable. The patient iecls as If his head were being pounded or crushed as it it would "split." Vomiting is a frequent symp tom. The attack lasts from morn ing until evening, sometimes for several days. It leaves the pa tient with a feeling of exhausted depression, relieved only an4 with diiiiculty by sleep. Chiropractic treatment , has been, remarkably successful In. relieving migraine headaches. No pain kilting tablets or gland treatments are used. The cause ot the disease Is sought tor and treated. With the cause removed the symptoms will also take thelt leave. Dr. Frank J.
