"I didn't make a mistake" said live-year-old Luana Loffer with
modest pride after finishing her song on a recent TV program:
Luana not only didn't make a mistake, but created a minor sensa
tion because of her assuxance and sweet rendition of -the "Mama
Doll Song. v ,
Luana was advertising the March of Dimes show which Phoe
nix Grange gave last Monday, and then appeared in the show
itself where she again proved a favorite. So now relatives and.
rim4a wmu4rin if ah will co on the stage, for Luana is
en the same "family tree" with the singer and actress, Eva Tan-
guay, whose song, "I Don't Care," made her famous., , J
" - Luana is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs., Warren Loffer, Phoenix,
' 'and her grandmother, Mrs. Dorothy Loffer, who lives in the same
household, was a cousin of Eva Tanguay and the two played to
' gether as children in Lawrence, Mass. The family is of french
', Canadian descent.
; Luana's mother said the tot wasn't one bit worried about ap-
. pearing on the show and confessed "I was more scared than she
. was." V'.' -; -. '.' ;.Vj ;
'' . Demetrios Zettos of Edessa, Greece, and William E. Sweet of
! Medford have renewed by correspondence a friendship which
, started during the Korean war. Mr. Sweet, a lieutenant in the
, United States Army, and the Greek, a lieutenant with one of the
units from his country assigned to the UN forces in Korea, served
; together for a time. . . . : r Y.'..? .. . ;
f Although our world is so large, it is yet so narrow as far as
. human relations are concerned," wrote the former soldier from
I Greece in a recent letter. "You are in the United States; I am in
Greece. Seven thousand miles of land and sea stand between us
and yet our minds, lives and goals are almost touching each other:
; .The difference of our nationalities, our religion and even our
lives, did not prevent us from going to that remote part of earth
(Korea) to struggle for the maintenance of our ideals, which are.
' so common. Of course, the lack of geographical relation between
' the U. S., Greece and Korea did not mean that there was a lack
I also in our human relations." ' V,
' . Mr. Zettos philosophized a bit about war and peace and then
said he hoped that the nations of the world would eventually put
into deeds the teachings of Christ and put an end to war. "If the
latter is not succeeded," he wrote in his imperfect English, "then
: the jungle will be glad to accept us. It may be even too good for
; us. He signed his letter "Jim" the. nickname by which he was
: known to his American friends. "?- - T-;v'.' ji ;

i .With so. many, families losing their, homes and possessions by
' fires, valley folk have had plenty of opportunity to prove that
they' are good neighbors. Eldon Deem, Yellow cab driver,5 is .not
; only a good neighbor but considerable of a hero as far as the J. L.
Bradleys are concerned. Hurrying back to Medford in the middle
' of the night after a trip into the suburbs, driver Deem saw that the
Bradley house was on fire.. He used his, caV radio to turn in the
: alarm, by way of his company office, Helped Mrs. Bradley and her
small children to escape from the burning building (the father
works a night shift) and then stayed to fight the blaze and carry
out furniture. ,
; , As a small child we saw the family home burn to the ground
J along with practically all .the rest of a small lumbering town, and
! the horror at fire has lived with us since. Then, as now, kind
1 neighbors took, the victims in -to their homes, helped us with the
immediate problem of food and clothing and to settle in new
houses. 1 J , - .
.' It's not often that a host and hostess can boast that an entire
church choir sang at their party.-'Thursday night Dr. and Mrs.
Kirkland West of First Presbyterian church were holding open
house so after practice was qverthej chapel choir attended to '".a
body. They dashed in, lined up and with Director Allen Lehl in
his accustomed place, sang an old Welsh song," favorite of the
Wests. The selection was "Aberystwyth" we hope all the letters
are in the right place and it is the name of a town in Wales.

asked what was the news from , WSC and the Junior, we had to
reply that our news wasn't hew any more no letter in two weeks.
"That's fine "comforted Dr. W, who also has a daughter . in col
lege. "No letter means she doesn't need: money or new clothes."'
He was right, too. Next letter said she'd been busy because the
chorus and orchestra had rehearsed every night for two weeks in
"preparation for an oratorio, that she was going to Spokane to see.

i' Hearing that Puget-Sound - sparrow had invaded the Jack
Moran garden, we thumbed through the pages of Peterson's book
on birds to see Just what a Puget Sound sparrow looked like. Not

Interesting names, too, such as the Aleutian Savannah, the
black-chinned, Botteri's and Brewer's sparrows, Heermann's song

The poet laureate of Camp
White is Tommy Thompson.
His name on the books is Wil
liam A. Thompson, and he was
born in New Brunswick, Canada,
but as long as he can remember
his home has been Aberdeen,
Wash. .,v v.
He went to high school there,'
ind. because the girl who edited
the. high school publication,
"Ocean Breeze," was fond, of
poetry, Tommy started writing
verse.. He has been at it ever
since. No less than : 1,000 odes,
serious as well as sentimental,
have been composed by Tommy
for special events of the past five
years. They are dedicated to the
volunteer sponsors of the shows.
"Sometimes they are read on
the occasion of the presentation,
but ? I .always write . a ; few lines
of verse for every event we have
had and then mail the pbem to
the sponsor, Tommy says..,:;; .
, Tommy has been confined to
a wheel chair for the : past . 11
years. He spent three years at
Barnes hospital, ; Vancouver, be
fore coming to Camp White.
It is hard to realize now that
Tommy was chief of police at
one time at Hoquiam, Wash. His
World War I service will match
any at the domiciliary. He was
19 VS months in France with the
161st Infantry, and was in every
major engagement during that
period.' He was wounded in the
Meuse-Argonne' offensive. ;
Tommy is active in the DAV
and; is a patron as weU as a
producer, of .special shows . in.
wnicn dancers,' singers and the
accordion girls participate. He
is as agile' at the microphone as
he is with words in his verse.
