( International) Pickin' Pears News, Gossip, Comment From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWOHTH The 800 home members at Camp White are fortunate. It is doubtful if any other Veter ans Administration center re ceives as wholehearted support by the surrounding community through the activities of the VAVS. In a little over three years, the number of groups providing entertainment, devo tional exercises v and assistance of one kind or another has in creased from a dozen "pioneers" to five dozen regular patrons. They will be awarded certifi cates of recognition at the na tional exercises in the Elks Temple, Medford Wednesday night. With a regular run of three movie shows a week, the sched ule allows very little time for home talent acts and those that have been provided have beery as well received as the regular run of pictures. There is always a request for a return engage ment. Needless to say the 60 or so groups and individuals com ing long distances in some cas es to Camp White can't all ap pear regularly in stage shows, but the fact that 25 were report ed to have participated last month is an indication of the efficient manner in which the Job is handled. Much credit for the success of the VAVS effort is due to Marvin Kahn, chief of special services. "The program got a good start here before I arrived and my work has been mainly that of development with the fine set ting already established," is his appraisal of his own contribu tion. But there are a great many details and delicate matters which Kahn has handled with skill. Kahn is a veteran of World War II with three years service, and was wounded in the Italian campaign. He lives on the sta tion with his wife, a UCLA grad uate, and three small children, Randy, and Freddie and Nancy, twins. He is also a former news paper man and worked on an Omaha daily at one time. The photographers were busy getting pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Ernesti, Seattle, in their native Indian regalia after the Elks show Saturday afternoon. The new portico at the front entrance was opened on Elec tion day. It is suggestive of Col onial style with four Iron pil lars supporting the little roof capped with a wrought iron rail ing. The job was executed by the engineering department. Election results showed that 457 of the total registration of 843 in this district came out to vote, a little better than half. The balloting took place In the post office storeroom and the counting upstairs. Only five votes difference between Repub licans and Democrats was noted, there being 231 Republicans and 226 Democrats. Clarence Bryan, canteen man ager, and Mrs. Bryan are away vacationing by automobile and will return after three weeks ab sence at the end of the month. They spent part of the time at his mother's home in Tennessee. The Brewers, Mona J. and Chuck, are enlarging their cot tage at Shady Cove with two additional rooms. In addition to her dlltiex in thl ripmii-ilinrv office. Mona writes verse for Uominews. Another Camp White figure who looks the part is the little maestro William Tusch. He is an old school musician who says he plays the "violin" and not the "fiddle." Tusch spends his time in the Arts and Crafts lap idary working on odd varieties of agates and taking pictures, the latter accomplishment win ning for him a second prize at the Hobby Fair. Russell Fleming Is going to Barnes hospital for special treatment shortly and will be missed by his bedside pals who enjoy his conversation. He comes originally from the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. As a hob by he makes little animals and flowers out of chenille which are in great demand. Cattle Population Brings No Worry Salem (U.R) O r e g o n cattle producers 'have nothing to beef about, says Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry, who does a peach of a pear business down Ashland way. Newbry told the Aberdeen Angus association at its banquet here that Oregon has nothing to worry about overpopulation of cattle as long as 60 per cent of the beef consumed here must be brought In from other states. There are now 88 million head of cattle in the United States, and that's a lot of T-bones, short ribs and stew. But the human population is Increasing at a rate higher than that of the beef population, so a careful cattle man can expand with knowledge there will be more than ample market for his product. Laundrymen Slate '53 Conclave Here The 1953 convention of the Oregon Laundry Owners' asso ciation will be held in Medford next year, on May 21, 22 and 23, it was announced today by Al Dumas, of Domestic Laundry and Cleaners. Dumas returned yesterday from the 1952 convention of the organization held in Eugene, at which he was elected president of the statewide group. Some 150 members attended this year's meeting, and between 150 and 200 are expected at the 1953 convention, he said. Peach Mildew Spray Recommended by Agent A spray application for peach mildew was recommended yes terday by County Horticulturist C. B. Cordy. A sulphur spray or dust should be applied now, Cordy said, with six pounds of wettable sulphur to each 200 gallons of water. The agent pointed out that last year was the first year that mildew caused commercial da mage to the peach crop and that those affected could control it with the above application. Hubbard, Ore.
