Camp Fire
Is Praised
By Mayor
"Official" hats came off today
at city hall not to be thrown
into a political ring but in
recognition of Medford Camp
Fire Girls who are celebrating
their 45th birthday this week.
"And I doff mine with real
pleasure," Mayor Earl Miller
said this- morning as .he ad
dressed good wishes to the na
tion's oldest youth organization
for girls.
"Camp Fire Girls are doing a
large share in helping to make
Medford a better place in which
to live; they put into practice
the brotherhood to which so
many give only lip service, and
they are on hand, unfailingly,
when there are community proj
ects to be undertaken," he said.
The mayor pointed to the col
lection of warm clothing and
school supplies for the Korean
children on Halloween in which
Camp Fire Girls played the lead
ing role. Older members serve
as hopsital aides, help collect
for cancer dressings, volunteer
to baby-sit during 'get out the
vote campaigns and do a multi
tude of other tasks to lighten
the load of adult civic leaders.
"A job is as good as done
when the Camp Fire girls volun
teer for it and it is with thank
ful pride that we wish them well
for their next 45 years," Mayor
Miller concluded.
Members of the organization
in Medford are joining with
more than 392,000 Camp Fire
Girls in every corner of the
United States in a year-round
birthday project entitled "Let
Freedom King. During the com
ing weeks and months they will
visit historical sites, study gov
ernmental procedures, dress
dolls in costumes representative
of different American periods
and participate in a variety of
other activities.
Medford Camp Fire Girls are

School Head
Speaks for
Lady Lions
Phoenix To focus attention
cn the problem of educating
blind children, Phoenix Lions'
Club auxiliary sponsored a pro
gram and silver tea Thursday
evening at the Community club
house. Walter R. Dry, superin
tendent of the Oregon State
School for the Blind, was guest
speaker. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Dry and Mrs. F. ' L.
Thompson, third vice-president
of the Oregon Lions' auxiliary.
Superintendent Dry explain
ed that the state course of study
is followed in the eight ele
menta'ry grades and the first
year of high school at the school
for the blind, since this insures
that pupils returning to public
school can make the change
with little difficulty. Piano and
voice lessons are given to all
who are interested, he said, and
also told of the physical educa
tion courses, which includes
swimming instruction. Crafts,
homemaking and shop classes
are part of the daily schedule.
Classes are pre-vocational rather
than vocational, he added
The school is in session nine
months of the year and. children
living near may go home for
holidays and weekends.
Superintendent Dry states
that it is the purpose of the
school to put into the lives of
blind children the varied ex
perience necessary to make
them well-rounded, social in
dividuals and to help them
realize to the fullest extent their
possibilities for happy, useful
lives.
"The big problem is convinc
ing the public that visually
handicapped children are not
helpless children," he said.
Members of the various Lions'
club auxiliaries throughout Ore
gon have as their chief project
holding of a summer institute
for parents of blind children.
The institute, started in 1949,
has proven helpful, it is stated.
During the 10-day institute, par
ents of blind children live on the
campus of the school at Salem
and attend lectures planned to
help them in the care and edu
cation of their children.
Volunteer auxiliary members
baby-sit with the children while
parents attend the institute. A
motion picture taken at the in
stitute last year was shown
Thursday night.
In observance of Girl Scout
week. Troop 39 presented the
colors. The invocation was given
by A. H. MacKintosh, and Miss
Kay Fisher sang, accompanied
by Mrs. L. Loofburrow.
Pouring for the tea were Mrs.
Dry and Mrs. Thompson. They
were assisted by Mrs. H. J. Gier
and Mrs. W. R. Haggard, host
essess for the auxiliary.

Oregon Senator
Says Women May
Run for President
Washington (UP.) Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberber said Saturday
the time may not be far away
when the nation has women can
didates for president or vice
president. The Oregon Democrat told a
meeting of Virginia Democratic
women that "I think the time
will come when people will not
think it unusual for a woman to
run for president."
Senator Neuberger said "If a
woman can ably serve as a sen
ator, why shouldn't a competent
woman lawyer be appointed to
the Supreme Court?
"Greater participation in pub
lie life by women might improve
the quality of government. I
cannot recall a woman failure in
American public life."
The senator declared that the
nation's political structure is
"geared to men" and "there is
no real effort to cater to the spe-
