News and Notes
From Camp White
By SID HOLLINGSWORTH
Ashland Post 14, American
Legion, furnished an array of
talent ranging from tiny tots 3
and 5 years old to a group of
seven musical entertainers from
Southern Oregon college at the
Veterans Hour show Friday
night.
A surprise nominee for the
Pear Blossom Festival was Mari
lyn Denning, the 5-year-old
daughter of Assistant Manager
and Mrs. R. H. Denning, who
offered a well executed dance
number.
Mrs. Larry Basey, Ashland,
introduced her three accomplish
ed daughters, Jeannie, 13, at the
piano, Michae Low, 8, with her
accordion, and Evangeline, 3,
who sang.
Mildred Peck, drama instruc
tor, presented her group of four
boys and three girls from t"he
college. Commander Emil Kroe
ger supervised the presentation,
and Recreation Director Frank
lin Girard, also an Ashland resi
dent, was MC for the quiz pro
gram. He announced that Bill
Keizur, the originator of the
Veterans Hour, has received a
request from the Duchess Coun
cil of the Legion, in Albany,
N.Y., for permission to present
a similar attraction there.

Capital punishment cases in
Iowa, according to state law, are
deferred until at least one full
calendar year, the time starting
with the original date of the
death sentencing.
Camp White has been gaining
recognition consistently in the
hospitalized veterans writers
project, supported nationally by
groups of professionals. Mike
Dillon, member attendant, re
ceived an honorary award this
month for a feature article, and
was given a book. Carl Bjordahl,
who has won on previous occa
sions, has a story in the maga
zine "Veterans Voices" about
domiciliary life, called "The
Weaver."
Writh the retirement of Sgt.
George S. Vanderpoel as com
mander of the Veterans of World
War I, an entirely new slate of
officers was installed Tuesday
night, in joint exercises with the
new officers of the Ladies Aux
iliary. The Barracks 14 officers for
the year will be:
Commander, Mart S. Hazen;
senior vice-commander, Claude
Blewitt; junior vice-commander,
"Eugene V. Lower; quartermaster
and adjutant, Arthur Medinnus;
chaplain, Howard Schoonmaker;
sergeant-at-arms, Harold Shaw.
The Rogue Valley Auxiliary
installed the following ladies:
President, Hazel Van Der
Mark; first vice-president, Edna
Kilburn; second vice-president,
Dorothy Matheny; chaplain,
The Apostolic Faith choir and
orchestra presented their Easter
Music Festival Thursday evening
at the theater. Grieg's "Trium
phal March" by the orchestra
was followed by an arrangement
from Tschaikowski "From Dark
ness to Light," given as an
Easter cantata by the choir.
The program of appropriate
choral numbers and solos was
in keeping with the religious
theme. Mrs. Ruth Allen was
concert mistress with Grace Iver
sen at the organ and Bernice
James as pianist. The Rev. Nor
man R. Allen directed the en
semble. Chaplain Henry Ander
son thanked the group on be
half of the member audience.
Hans Sorenson, past com
mander of Post 6412, Camp
White, took the honors this year
in obtaining 25 new VFW mem
bers. He has been notified that
five Oregon VFW silver stars,
one for each five members, have
been awarded to him. He also
receives a department com
mander's "honor cap."
The Easter egg hunt Sunday
was the big event of the year
for Hans Sorenson. This is an
annual affair staged for the
children of the neighborhood by
the VFW Post.
The grounds between the
buildings adjoining the veterans
hall were lined with more than
200 brightly colored eggs. The
25 or 30 boys and girls were
slow in getting started, but most
of the eggs were found. "I put
them out, but I can't even find
them myself," Hans observed,
when he tried to show a few of
the timid ones where to look.
After they made their haul,
Hans took the children to the
prize room where he distributed
cash and novelty items one for
each egg brought in. The par
ents were on hand to witness
the event.
The 45-p i e c e Jacksonville
school band came over to enter
tain the members last Wednes
day evening as part of the Jun
ior Red Cross program of en
listing talent from the various
schools of the valley. Leroy
Mauroni was director in charge.
Capt. Hugh Martin has 493
home members registered in
Company 1. The figure varies
during a year by about 25 men
either way. Until a year ago,
Captain Martin kept tab on the
members by means of a card
file. It was a headache the doc
tors could find no way to cure.
So he decided to work out the
problem in his own way.
The first step was to devise a
board with an arrangement for
holding small cards, denoting
the names and classification of
the membership. But even this
failed to relieve the difficulty
altogether. Martin then hit upon
the plan of substituting colored
cards and pins, so that a glance
at the board gives him the an
swer.
The five classes for detail are
shown by pink, orange, olive
green, white and yellow tabs. A
black card signifies, a vacancy,
and ' a red card means . no bed.
Men on the payroll are desig'
nated by a purple card. Black,
green, white, yellow and red
pins mean the men are on fu
neral detail, AWOL, in the In
firmary, on leave or on restric
tion. Martin says now he has
no more headaches.
FIVE SUSPECTS ARE SOUGHT in $305,000 robbery of Woodslde branch of New York's Chase

Personal Albums of Mata Hari Famous
Spy of First War, Net $560 at Auction
London (U.R) In a bare and
lofty auction room on Bond
Street the auctioneer called for
lot 176: "The personal albums
of Mata Hari, dancer and spy."
There was only a handful of
buyers to bid up the price. Due
to the London newspaper strike
.only the regulars knew about
the auction of photographs, clip
pings, theater programs and let
ters and notes of the most cele
brated spy of World War I
Sadly, the auctioneer sold the
lot for 200 pounds ($560).
Neither the seller or the buyer
would reveal his identity. Nor
would either tell whether he had
more than a collector's interest
in the personal effects of the
convent - educated Netherlander
who became a false oriental
dancer with a name meaning
"Eye of Dawn."
The material auctioned adds
only footnotes to the story of
Mata Hari, whose real name was
Margaret Gertrude Zelle and
whose life already has been
glamorized far out of range of
the truth.
They used to whisper that
Mata Hari did not die in the
Forest of Vincennes in October,
1917, but that wealthy and in
fluential lovers rescued her by

Hukari, 65, was killed yester-,

World War II.
putting blanks in the rifles of
the firing squad.
But she did die before the
firing squad. Photographs show
ing her body prove it.
And they say that just before
the command to fire she ripped
open her bodice and dazzled the
French riflemen with her beau
ty, it is doubtful her "beauty"
dazzled anyone. An artist once
complained that Mata Hari had
a disappointing bust.
A Dangerous Mind
British intelligence agents
have pointed out that by 1917,
when Mata Hari was past 40,
she was a woman with large,
dark eyes staring out of a pallid
face. AH that remained of the
old Mata Hari was a quick and
dangerous mind.
She had been a success on the
stage and even more successful
in the boudoirs where she en
tertained wealthy and famous
men. When war broke out she
turned her charms and worldly
knowledge over to the German !
Secret Service.
The auctioned albums carry
Mata Hari's lurid life up to the
beginning of her spy duties in
Paris. Her own account ends
"La guerre-partie de Berlin."
This means: "War I have left
Berlin."
