Incentive Awards for Service
To Government Given Employees
Camp White Incentive
awards for government em
ployees were recognized at the
Veterans Administration ' Domi
ciliary Center Friday afternoon
as one means advanced in recent
years to promote efficiency and
economy, as well as interest in
the Job, in serving the public.
Special exercises were held in
the theater to present service
pins to 17 employees at the sta
tion for 30, 20 and 10 years gov
ernment service, and for sugges
tion awards given for ideas to
improve operations, to three of
the personnel.
The importance of the awards
program which began last No
vember, was stressed by Acting
Manager H. Denning, who
presided at the meeting and
maHa tha nrpcpnfatmnf
Need Emphasised
H. J. Heitkemper, personnel
officer, emphasized the need for
special recognition as a means of
projecting the best interests of
government service to the pub
lic.
Eric Allen Jr., city editor of
the Medford Mail Tribune, as
principal speaker, traced the
history of public service from
1 its establishment in China in
about 200 B. C. He pointed out
that proven merit was the chief
civil services, which lasted al
most 2,000 years.
fThe "spoils system," which
was' responsible for the present
civil service system in the
United States, followed early
efforts of the founding fathers
to place public service on a high'
plane, he said.
.The fact that "Camp White
is what it is today" is due to the
dedication of personnel to serv
ice rather than politics, he in
dicated. He called attention to the
future prospect of providing
care for the WWII, men and
urged "levelheadedness, fore
sight and courage" in facing the
tasks ahead.
Makes Two Points
Two points for consideration
he gave were, 1. Protect the
rights of the individual, and . 2.
Don't be afraid to try something
new. The fact that those who
thought of something new are
recognized is encouraging, he
said.
Acting Assistant Manager R.
H. Ruff in ' summed up the pro
gram with the statement that
Camp White looks forward to
many more occasions of this
kind. He thanked Allen for
coming out and also the Eagle
Point High school band under
direction of Steve Whipple, for
providing music. Appreciation
for the help extended by the
domiciliary staff in preparing the
program was also expressed by
Ruffin in his concluding re-remarks.
The top honors, 30 year gold
service pins, were awarded to
Miss Grace Stuhr, chief nurse
at Camp White since 1949, and
Edward B. Shelton, of the en
gineering division, whose five
years of civil service is supple
mented by more than 30 years
cf active duty with the U. S.
Navy.
30 Years Service
Miss Stuhr has had 30 years
of continuous service with the
Veterans Administration in this
region. She started as staff
nurse with the Veterans Bureau
of Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 14, 1924.
She was named head nurse at
the Portland VA hospital in
1929, and helped to activate
Barnes hospital at Vancouver in
1946, where she 'served as chief
nurse until she came here.

Acting on a
Let's suppose it was a couple of decades ago
when a young lad, with his book strap over
his shoulder and his lunch basket under his
arm, started slowly down a dusty road that
led to a country schoolhouse.
But his walk was short that day. For a
big, handsome Cadillac with its smiling
driver traveling in the lad's direction
stopped and gave him a "lift."
And as he stood on the schoolhouse lawn
and watched the car roll into the distance,
. he' made a decision. He decided that,
some day, he would own a Cadillac.
.And tere you see him, his dream come

Cadillac dealer taking the keys to a new
1955 Cadillac!
As a Cadillac dealer, we've been privi
leged many times to see such 'a dream
come true. And it never ceases to be a thrill.
But we do feel, in all sincerity, that many
motorists not realizing the Cadillac car is
practical as well as wonderful wait too long
to make the move.
The lowest-priced Cadillac, for example,
actually costs less than twelve different
models of other makes. Its economy of
operation is far beyond anything you could

logically anticipate from a car of Cadillac's
size and luxury. And at the time of resale, a
Cadillac traditionally returns a greater share
of its owner's investment than any other

r you have been looking forward to a Cadillac
of your own you should give careful con
sideration to these remarkable facts.
It is entirely possible that the time for
f your Cadillac has come--and as we said,
it is always a pleasure to help make such a
dream come true.
Better come in and see us today.
