(International) Furriers Must Now Be Factual In Hanging Name Tags on Coats New York (U.R) Lady, thats no ermine, that's a good old American weasel. Beginning Saturday, furriers must be strictly factual when they label merchandise made from animal pelts. No more Hud son seals, lapins, beaverettes or mink-dyed marmots.' Must Face Facts Women have got to face facts as well as the furriers, since a label lettered "rabbit" makes de lusions of a mink bargain diffi cult. But mink will still be mink. The fur products labelling act passed by Congress last August goes into effect Saturday. Only the name of the animal that pro duced the fur will be permitted on fur wrap labels from now on. "Now that she knows she has Uncle Sam with her a woman will feel more confident buying furs," said Max Bachrach, head of the Fur Research Institute. "If it's rabbit, you gotta call it rab bit now. Mouton must say mou ton .processed lamb. Certain kinds of ermine must be labelled weasel. . . " Ermine Is Weasel Here Mr. Bachrach was inter rupted. "You mean women will wear weasel evening wraps?" a re porter asked. "If it's weasel, it's weasel," said Mr. Bachrach patiently. "Er- Pickin' Pears News, Gossip, Comment ftom Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH Absence of disastrous fires in any part of the Camp White gov ernment area during the period of occupancy by the V.A. Domi ciliary is a record of some signifi cance at this particular time when emphasis on fire preven tion Jn . iorest tegions ;ls .-- being given. Fire Chief William Cody at tributes his good fortune in con trol "80 per cent to effort and 20 per cent to luck". The effort is exerted through constant pa trol and Inspection by a corps of 15 experts and the vigilance and assistance of "volunteers". Only a few sections of the buildings occupied are under spe cial restrictions. These include the theater balcony, . closed to the public due to inadequate exits, and the supply, the ware houses, paint shop and surgery room in Building 201, where smoking is prohibited. One of the special precautions unique at Camp White is the ade quate placing of buckets partly filled with sand for disposal of cigarette stubs, ashes and burned matches. Detail men service these fa cilities in the daytime, and a spe cial man makes the rounds at night, cleaning out extra trash. James I. Cassal, a member, is responsible for this important fire prevention measure. He was especially commended by the Chief. The fire crew and the guard force patrol the entire reserva tion regularly with an eye for fire hazards. Then there are peri odic drills with the two pumpers and hose, at which time the aux iliary fire crew of personnel goes into action. The members of this crew are: Jack Goodwin, Charles Ice, Don Pulley, Bob Doran, Sam Samuels, Bob Finley, and Gene Hardy. "I do wish to express my ap preciation for the cooperation received in this undertaking of fire prevention and control at Camp White," Chief Cody declares. Further precautions during the day are taken when the men are at mess by the activity of mem ber fire guards who remain on the premises. The alertness of members at all times in detecting smoke when trash ignites in waste bas kets is also noticable at Camp White. The system isn't fool proof, but it does seem to work in keep ing Camp White under the "green light". About the only use for the liberal distribution of fire ex tinguishers is to ornament the walls. They are kept charged and ready for use; however,, in emergencies. - - - I Manager Paul A. Hatton em phasized that the program of fire prevention here is in line with the national effort to keep people fire conscious. "It is especially important to us with construction around that is not fire resistant," Mr. Hatton points out. "And we have to re main conscious at all times of this danger." Foots Creek Foots Creek Mrs. V. Ci Row ell left last week for Bakersfield, Calif., to join her husband and son who are employed in the oil fields there, and are to be trans ferred to South Africa or Old Mexico soon. Mrs. E. Biden and sister, Mrs. Agnes Rudd of Chicago visited Mrs. George Lance recently. Mrs. Rudd had spent several weeks in Canada visiting relatives. Mrs. Biden and Mrs. Rudd are aunts of Mrs. Lance's niece, Mrs. E. D. Woody of Coronation, Alberta, Canada, and she visited with her while there. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Wales of Baldwin Park, Calif., and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Baehr of Long Beach, Calif., spent last week here with Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Crimmel. Mr. Wales is Mrs. Crimmel's brother. Other recent guests of the Crimmels were his brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Crimmel and their son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Crim mel of Casper, Wyo.; Miss Betty Phillips of Portland, and Mrs. Marie Degarimore of Long Beach. A farewell party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ace Adams August 2 for Mr. and Mrs. Don Prettyman. Attending were. Mr. and Mrs. D. Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. V. Salmans, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hopper, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Walt Weaver, Mr. and Mrs. A. Sanders of Rogue River, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Cowie, Yreka, Calif., and Mrs. Lloyd Brice of Anchor age. Alaska.

LININGER & SONS PHONE 2-5336 er 2-5897 mine is just a fine grade of weasel imported from Russia or Scandinavia or Canada. It's pure white or pale beige. Weasels are raised in warmer climates. They're darker, maybe yellow or light brown." Several inquiries turned up a noticeable absence of weasel coats. Apparently, in spite of fur experts insistence that they are quite willing to call a weasel a weasel or a muskrat a muskrat, certain fur categories will be avoided as much as possible. Weasel wraps are one. To Identify Country Persian lamb must be identi fied by country if it doesn't come from the Middle East. The fur that-used to be called American broadtail now will be South American processed lamb. Hud son seal must be called by its real name, muskrat. "There will be some confusion for a while," admitted Leo Rit ter, head of Ritter Brothers Fur Co. "Even mink, which is the largest selling fur, has many var iations. Mutations have produced many different mink shades, like Aleutian, starlight and silverblu When a mutation is first intro duced and the skins are rare, the price is high." But if the word "mink" ap pears anywhere on the label, a girl knows she's getting the real thing. Glamour captions like mink-dyed muskrat are no longer permissable. Fox Terrier Cares For Strange Family Dongola, 111. (U.R) Penny, a black and brown fox terrier with a strange mother instinct, never gives up. The dog, a pet of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Dillow, took charge of three baby chicks and mothered them faithfully. Then tradegy struck.' The dog rolled on her charges while sleeping and smothered them. Now Penny has another family,- a tiny guinea chick and a three-week-old chicken. Mrs. Dillow said the dog is more care ful with her second family than she was with the first. Penny made a nest in the cool earth under a brush in the Dillow's front yard where the" chicks will be well protected. and son Bilbee opened the Foots Creek store August 1 and are redecorating' and putting in a larger stock of groceries. The Lanes have a home on Evans creek where they have lived the past five years. Bilbee will enter the 7th grade in the Rogue River school this year.' ' Mrs. Ella Elders, sons Don and Newton, returned last week from Oroland, Calif., where they at tended the funeral services of their father, D. W. Forbes. He was 8? years old and left seven children, 19 grandchildren and 11 -great-grandchildren. Mr.-and Mrs. R. E. Cowie are now located near Hillsboro, Ore., where they have leased the Air way Grocery store and gas sta tion. They like Hillsboro very much.

SIXTH and Fl R Sine 1 908 Ph. 2-6251 No Parking Problem Here Driv Right in Our Building and Shop Professor, Lost In Oregon Wilds, Ends Up in Court Bend (U.R) Dr. Lincoln Constance, botany professor at University of California, went into the forest to look for some interesting specimens of flora. The central Oregon pine for est north of Suttle lake is rugged and wild. The professor got lost. Calling up his rusty knowledge of woodslore, the professor lighted a signal fire to attract Forest Service lookouts. The fire was a fizzle. Lighted Larger Fire So the Berkeley, Calif., teach er of things botanical lighted a larger, more vigorous fire. This one got too big. It fanned out in all directions. The professor beat a hasty retreat and in fleeing to keep from getting scorched he ran smack-dab onto a high way and became unlost. Searchers Spot Fire But, meantime, a forest service party called to the search for the missing professor by worried relatives at Eugene spotted the renegade signal'fire. The search ers dropped the hunt for the pro fessor and" gave active atten tion to battling the flames. The professor's signal fire spread over four acres before it was con trolled. The professor will appear in Jefferson county justice court to explain to the judge why he started a fire in a forest without a permit. Fawn Recovers After Losing Leg in Combine Carlyle, 111 (U.R) Bambi, a fawn who came out on the lnsnncr pnH rti a hattlp with a wheat combine, was reported doing well despite los of one leg and many cuts. The fawn wandered into the path of the combine on a farm near here and was close to death when taken to Dr. James M. Piatt, veterinarian. Dr. Piatt amputated one rear leg and patched up cuts on the little deer's other legs. He put Bambi on a ."baby formula" of I milk and syrup and said she ap peared to be recovering.
