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-'

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

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.

When President Horace Isaacs
called the Camp White Fishing
club to order Monday night the.
roll was answered by 31 men.
It has been settled that each
Tuesday vnll be fishing day and. I
the management has assigned a
bus to that duty every week.
The next trip will be made
April 22 and Emigrant lake,
about seven miles south ol Ash
land, will be the destination.
Wheelchair men will be taken
on a special excursion Friday of
this week. Ted Brown, who or
iginated the club idea, was ill
and not able to attend the meet
ing. "Cattish" Clayton reported
that his live worm box is stocked
viith enough bait to last the sum
mer season. He and his commit
tee have found good digging.
American Legion post and its
auxiliary entertained with games
for prizes in the theater building
Tuesday evening. Because of its
anniversary dinner over town
on the same date, Al Birnmn of
Camp White's recreational de
partment and Ben Anderson, a
member, were in charge ol the
games. Ample refreshments were
served at the conclusion, ot the
games.
The winneT of the f irst big fish
prize was Val Flohs. A carton
ot cigarettes from Al Bitman
and a cash gift from Ted Brown
was his loot. Val was not con

During the past 30. days, 116
new men have been admitted
to the front office. This means
that as many former members
have taken discharge or at least
90 day furloughs. The waiting
list seems never depleted.

CHATS
By Dr. Frank J. 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.
