Use Mail Tribune Want Ads Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH George Butts was never a gun smith and was only an appren tice machinist, but he has a hob by making models of guns, which should qualify him as an expert in the tooling of firearms. . Butts works in the arts and crafts woodworking shop, carv ing and finishing his models. He has just completed a revolver of the period of the Mexican war, which is perfect in every detail. The" handle is finished by staining to resemble age. The barrel effect is created by graph ite and shellac. Every other par ticular is as real as the original. The job he is working on now calls for utmost skill. He has acquired an authentic flintlock made around 1780, which is somewhat worn with age but which held the flint firing pin intact. He hopes to convert this piece into a cigarette lighter. A third model of a pistol has been -reproduced, even to in clude the brass plate imbedded j in the side. ; Butts -came here fram Yakima, Wash., but he hails originally from Kansas. "I began whittling when I was a .kid and haven't stopped," he says. He made model gliders back in 1905 and released them in the air from kites by means of a string at tached to a trigger. He has a steamboat model under way also which should attract even more attention than the guns. Through typgraphical error, date of the Elks show sponsored by the Southern Oregon Elks as- sociation, was given as March 18. It will be held Friday after noon of this week. The Happy Jesters trio . from the Country club will be the attraction. The Camp White Post of the VFW have planned a special program for Wednesday veve- ning, Feb. 23, at the hall which will feature the children of, the Eve Prentice accordion group and their parents. ; The annual hospital day of the Military Order of Cooties and Lady Bugs was observed Sunday by a visit of department dignitaries and members."

H. U.R) T h e world's gaudiest legislature will get off to a more colorful start than ever today with joyous Democrats in control for the first time in Hawaii's 54 - years as a U.S. Territory.. - ; . . The opening of - an Hawaiian legislative session ; is tradition-1 ally -a gala affair, with -strumming ukeleles, hula dancing, an cient Hawaiian chants and out bursts of spontaneous entertain ment intermingled with the op ening day formalities. : But this year, 'says house, speaker-designate Charles E. Kauhane, the festivities will be . bigger, better and more colorful" than ever.; "We're going to bring back. to the people the semblance , of Ha waiian reign,'.' . said Kauhane, who will be the first full-blooded Hawaiian speaker: since Ha waii became a territory in 1900. Nothing Like It: - He said that with the Demo crats controlling both' houses of the Legislature for the first time in this traditionally Republican territory . there will be a ' num ber: of "extras", in the way of opening day entertainment. :. -. Even if it's no. different . from past " y ear s, : there's probably nothing like it anywhere in .the world. - It's : like .a .. Polynesian mardi gras, with hundreds . of people "joining in the fun..' and trying to push, 'their way into the tiny "chambers where - Ha waiian royalty once held court. . Hawaii's Legislature meets in regular session 'every two years in historic Iolani Palace, a . gray stone building erected in the i880's by King Kalukaua; The House chamber i was .

Well BUnded Mixtur - The. opening. . day. festivities start about an- hour - and '.a. ;half before the-session convenes. .The ceremony b e C o m e s . brighter, louder and happier: as the time for ; convening, draws near. It doesn't stop even after .the two houses are called to - order. Intermingled ; with the open ing day business, of ,:. organizing the - houses,-, naming committees and - other formalities, there is singing and hula dancing among the flower decked desks - of the lawmakers. Jt's .not surprising to see a? usuallystaid senator, his face barely .visible through a stack of flower.-, leis, break into a spontaneous hula. : : It's probably the most cosmo politan, law-making, body; in the world.

Washington U.R)T h e t gov ernment hag . reported that un der "the worst possible, condi tions" radioactive . fallout from a giant H-bomb could kill every j person in a ' 7000-square ;'. mile area ..downwind from the ex plosion. " - This estimate, described as "extreme," .'was made by the Atomic' Energy "Commission in the first official report on the radioactive menace to life of a "very large" H-bomb like the one tested by the United States at Bikini last March 1. The AEC . considered . w h a t might have happened if that bomb had burst in a populated region. If it . had, about 7000 square miles of territory down wind from the explosion would have been "so contaminated that survival might have depended upon prompt evacuation of the area or upon taking shelter and other i protective measures." If Washington were the tar get of such a bomb, and if the wind direction- was generally northeastward, unprotected per sons among the more than 11,- 000,000 persons in a .wide belt extending from -here through- metropolitan New York would be in jeopardy of their lives. Fallout is the rain of intense ly, radioactive particles, each bearing invisible danger, which sifts down over a wide area after a nuclear explosion. The advent of the H-bomb made fall out a prime menace of the atomic era and forced civil de fense officials to revise all dis aster plarining based on A-bomb effects. '-" The AEC said it was publish ing .general data on the H-bomb's radioactive threat be cause "nuclear, weapons are, in possession of the USSR." It said it believes the American peo ple .want C to know what the dangers are and what they can do "to protect themselves if Painters are busv finishirier tin the new laboratory in the medi cal buildine and the move will be made from the arts and crafts buildins this comine week.
