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

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

Special guests present were
Mrs. C. D. Elhart, Ashland, past
grand guardian, . and Orville
Berry,' past associate grand
guardian, and Mrs. Berry from
Prineville.

were in charge of Kay Askwith,

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.
