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." '

The new "daylight saving"
schedule for starting the day at
the dom has furnished the oc
casion for a gesture of service
by the canteen management in
opening the coffee shop at 6 in
stead of 6:30 a.m. "The ' early
opening was made possible by
willingness of the - coffee shop
personnel to donate this extra
time to accommodate the mem
bers. - '
Another feature has been ad
ded in the coffee shop with the
hanging of a large mirror which
helps to relieve the cramped
space by making the room ap
pear larger.
The telephone room in the
front Office also sports some
decorative efforts in glass? with
the front and side at "the en

Hold Control for
First Time in Years
Honolulu,- T. 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 . 'the royal
throne room. The; Senate cham
ber was the -state dining room.
The governor's office ; was the
royal bedroom. .
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. Its' members are of Cau
casian, Chinese,. Japanese and
Hawaiian ' ancestry,' or mixtures
of these. This year, for the first
time, there is a Filipino in the
House.- . . - -
Possi b le Atom ic Fallout Effect
in Report by Government
Told
. 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
