Pickin' Pars News and Note? From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH In the calm of the post Christ mas season a review of one phase of life at Camp White may be admissible. This is the ave nue of publicity. Activity has proceeded along three fronts publication by the members of a departure in mimeographic journalism called Dominews, the medium of photo graphy, and the maintenance of contact with the Medford Mail Tribune through a special cor respondent appointed by the paper. The last named of these acti vities is the current Pickin' Pears column, carried by the paper as a contribution to the camp in publicizing ,in an in formal way the special brand of news from this veterans' domiciliary. Much of the originality in herent in this column . has van ished with the passage of time and the departure of the per sonalities who provided the color and dash which somewhat startled the neighbors and drew attention of the public generally to what was going on at Camp White. L. J. "Tick" Malarkey was the pioneer in the writing de partment, having been editor of Dominews and the columnist whose by-line headed this con tribution until the incumbent undertook the herculean labors. The writer has had occasion to talk with Tick recently, and finds him reconciled to his re tirement from the field which seemed to sustain him, notwith standing the handicap of illness. He spends much time reading in his room when he is not forced to visit the Portland hospital for treatment. "It is not a pleasant fate," he says. "In fact, this lack of activi ty is the hardest job I have ever done. I suppose I should be thankful that my . condition is not worse. As long as I am hold ing my own. I can't comnlain." , Tick had experience as a newspaperman before he came to Camp White and in addition to his work in the Rogue val ley he was correspondent for the Oregonian.' He set the pace in numerous ways, and managed to leave an imprint that is not soon to be forgotten. Another type of individual also joined in the campaign to put Camp White on the map. In turning to the comic, George E i c h n o r, characterized the "pogey'' became the defender of their "rights." He turned from engineering to journalism, which he had absorbed in his travels and as an admirer of Mencken and the school of satirists who held the stage for many years in American life. Eichnor' is a native of Utah, and had heard of the sensa tionalism which Bonfils and Tammen . were developing in Denver for the Rocky Mountain region. He really outdid both of them in developing a style and makeup that retained consis tency and sanity only by the barest margin. " Dominews under his editor ship for more than two years was diversified, humorous, seri ous and sentimental all at once, occasionally flashing out in tech nicolor'. George wore himself out being both original and care ful, and took a vacation. On his return he decided to abandon the writing game permanently. In the assortment of talent ar riving for a spell was a former newspaper promotion artist turned photographer, in the per son of Peyton Randolph noit, from Georgia. He has worked all whistle stops in the country, however, with his bag of tricks for building up run down news paper properties. This business fell by the wayside with the "new deal" coming up from the schobls of journalism. Jack Holt, his present credit line in newspictures, brought a trunk load of photographic equipment to Camp White and sold Paul Hatton, then manager, on the idea of institutional pic tures. Manager Hatton assigned and equipped him with a studio, from which he operated for a period that transformed the reservation into a miniature Hollywood. Every conceivable type of picture was taken, in cluding "cheese cake" in which the movie colony specializes. When Hatton left, Jack Holt followed and took up residence at Hot Springs, S. D. where he now pursues his line in record ing events at this hospital and domiciliary. A Christmas card received here offers a self por trait showing that he is not los ing any weight in his. change of venue. All of the other photographers who provided the pictures of personalities and incidents at Camp White, have now departed. The writers and artists also have drifted away and there is need for talent scouts to start cruising around to discover new material and style in recording the domi ciliary doings in a manner that may be different, but not quite Sunday, January 2, 195S MTOFOW) (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Kenneth Piland Installed DeMolay Master Councilor Kenneth Piland, a son of Mr. and Mrs. C.

(Editor's note: Sid Hollings worth is too modest. An old-time newspaperman himself, he served on the Denver Post in the days of Bonfils and Tam men, whom he mentions; with a major wire service, and in var ious capacities with various newspapers. It is due to him that the activities at Camp Whte have received comprehensive and ac curate coverage in the Mail Tribune's columns during the past several years.)

As We y ILIXAKTH HURLOCK, PH.D. tS&j Kenneth Piland (Landis-Shangle Studio) Job's Daughters Hold Annual Party ; Central Point Bethel 38, Job's " Daughters of Central Point, held the annual Christ mas party following the regular meeting of the bethel December 23 in the Masonic hall in Cen tral Point. ; Following the meeting, cos tumes were donned, and a prize for the best costume went to Miss Susan Gilman. Vic Noel, Miss Vickie Noel, Miss Anita Conger and Miss Maria Abbott, presented a skit, "Angie the Christmas Tree Angel." An ex change of gifts was held with Don't Let Past Failures Cripple Present Success We all have unhappy mem ories from the past. Sometimes these memories go back as far as childhood days; sometimes they are of more recent origin. Regardless of their age, they all upset and depress us when we think about them. Too much dwelling on unhappy mem ories not only makes a per son unhappy but, even worse, is like ly to make him feel inade quate to meet the present fa r successfully. It D& Hurleek is sure to make him have a chip on his shoulder toward people, many of whom are innocent vic tims in no way related to the un happy memories.'. A person who, during ; his school years, had trouble with his studies and always felt that the rest of his classmates were smarter than he, may recall these school-day experiences so often and so vividly that he feels as inadequate today as he did in childhood. Or a person who, because of family poverty, never had the "right" clothes, home, or spend ing money during his school days recalls how' he was left out and how the other children often snubbed or made fun. of him. The '. bitter resentments Santa Claus in attendance. Special guests present were Mrs. C. D. Elhart, Ashland, past grand guardian, . and Orville Berry,' past associate grand guardian, and Mrs. Berry from Prineville. Refreshments " for the party were in charge of Kay Askwith, Mrs. William Askwith, Barbara Henderson, Mrs. Henderson, Ja net Kilbourn, Mrs. Lewis Kil- bourn, Jeanette Purdy, and Mrs. Archie Purdy. ..... come back to his mind now, and he feels hostile toward peo ple in general, even though his present associates may treat him very differently. Troubles 'Embroidered' The big trouble with all mem- ories is that they are likely to be embroidered." The pleasant memories become pleasanter with time, the unpleasant ones more unpleasant This exaggera ting is one of the real dangers of dwelling too much on the past. wnetner the memories be pleas ant or unpleasant. : If you find yourself giving too much thought to the past, quickly get into action and turn your attention to what you are doing. Talk to people, read, or do anything but reminisce. This is the surest way to keep your mind on the present. LETTERS FROM READERS Too Busy . 1 "My wife always says she is 'too busy' to do this or that' when someone asks her to do something. Isn't this selfish ness and poor management?"; (A) Not necessarily. Chances are that she does have her hands full or more than full, especially if you have several children and she. has no help. If you and the family want her to do things for you or for the community, why not help her , with the home duties so she will not be so busy? Impatient With People: "What makes some people so impatient with others who do ' not do things as well or as quickly as they can do them? (A) Impatience stems from in tolerance which comes partly from lack of experience. The in tolerant person usually knows -very little about the people he is intolerant of. For example, the' father who is impatient when his child is slow and in efficient knows so little about children that he does not real ize this is normal for children. Most people who are intolerant, you will discover, feel that they are superior to others. (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.) L 1 Ladies! Don't Miss These Fabulous Values!
