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.
