News and Notes
From Camp White
By SID HOLLINGSWORTH
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Birch have
represented Steelhead Post and
Auxiliary of the VFW at Camp
White for a number of years.
. They have been members of the
Shady Cove Post since 1952, and
participated in all VFW affairs
at their headquarters here.
During the past two years,
Mrs. Birch has been hospital
chairman for the department, in
charge of the entire auxiliary
program at the domiciliary, as
the VAVS representative. It has
been an active two years, and
much has been accomplished
through the cooperation shown
by this group, and the enthusiasm
manifested in every undertak
ing. Lelia Birch was appointed hos
pital chairman in June of 1953.
It was a year of transition at
Camp White, and at the very
start of her term she toflk the
lead in providing entertainment
and the facilities provided by
the CFW for the welfare of the
men.
One of the first gestures made
was the formal presentation of
the pioneer TV set, donated by
the Steelhead Auxiliary, and
placed in the Green Room. This
was followed by the department
get installed in the theater. Man
ager Ricker was on hand to ac
cept these gifts for the VA.
Mrs. Birch has been first in
to many of the innovations of
this busy two year period, that
It is difficult to keep the record
of her achievements. Her group
was first to volunteer for the
ward work in games and pro
grams. When the dances, usually
held every Monday night fell by
the wayside, her auxiliary spon

scheduled dances a month, a fea-

The scientists of the govern

YOUNG YEGGS HELD
Chicago (U.R) Two of the
police department's youngest
burglars on record, boys 5 and
6 years old, confessed they broke
into a barber shop and took

police officer asked the 5-year-old

ture of the program during the
past year.
When the quarantine was lift
ed a month ago, the ladies of the
auxiliary were on hand at 11
o'clock, the hour the quarantine
ended on that "good" Friday. It
happens that Friday is the VFW
day at Camp White, when candy
and other items are passed
around to the members in one
section of the buildings.
' It hag just been learned that
Mrs. Lelia Birch has been elect
ed president of her auxiliary and
she is now making her report for
the year as hospital chairman.
She has some very interesting
things to report. In the first
place, she has 96 VFW volunteers
on her Ifst. Gifts last year were
contributed by 61 of the auxil
iaries, 9 of them from California,
and one from Washington.
Among the features in their
program is the making of Christ
mas baskets, to be distributed
among the members and the per
sonnel alike. Her associates have
started work on these novelties
for the next Christmas event.
They are ingeniously made and
filled with fruit and nuts and
candy.
Another innovation at Camp
White is the CFW gift room, set
aside for the auxiliary to furnish
gifts for the men to send to their
families. This project was started
last year and 270 gifts were of
fered, wrapped and mailed at the
request of members interested.
In addition to these extra
duties, the VFW auxiliary spon
sors two of the birthday parties
each year, and a number of va
riety shows on the regular pro
gram oi events. The April birth
day party had to be cancelled
but a special party was arranged
for them this Tuesday night by
me auxiliary.
Mrs. Birch also serves on var
ious committees, including the
picnic park committee. She has
attended every VAVS meeting
during her term. She is now in
terested in the encouragement of
singing by the men who attend
her ward parties. .
She has plans for a Field Day
event on Labor Day, and is work
ing out the details with Special
Services Chief Frank Glonning
at the present time. It will ef
fectively round out the summer
of outdoor games, now getting
started, including croquet, shuf
fleboard, horseshoes, and some
that are being added to the card.
Prizes will be provided by the
auxiliary.
With such a record, it would
be natural to inquire what type
of individual this live wire lady
of the VFW Auxiliary really is.
No one meeting her for the firet
time can understand how she !
does if. And being quiet and j
unassuming, no one is likely to
know. She lets the resul.s speak
for themselves.
She did give away one secret
and it is this: She started in with
out any experience whatever.
She had never belonged to any
organization before she joined
the VFW Auxiliary at Shady
Cove. Her home is in Medford,
but before coming to Oregon she
lived at Centralia. Washinptnn
"You can say, however, thatl
i was born in Curry County, Ore
gon," she was quick to add. "I
had no previous experience of
this sort, unless working in a real
estate office can be called such
experience. I like the work, as
we all do, because we feel that
we are doing something worth
while. And we do try, in all that
we do for these men in the Home
and the Infirmary."

Walla Walla (U.R) The fu
ture of river transportation has
entered a bright new era in the
Pacific Northwest and it may
not be long until boats and
barges ply the Columbia-Snake
river system from the coast to
Wenatchee and Lewiston, Ida.
This is the belief of Herbert
C. West, executive vice president
of the Inland Empire Waterways
Association, who says the day of
the 10,000-ton cargo haul orr the
system is just around the bend.
"After John Day Dam is com
pleted, ocean-going barges will
be able to navigate safely with
full cargoes all the way to Ken-

On Way fo Home Town
Manila, P.I. (U.R) The body
of Gene Symonds, United Press
manager for Southeast Asia, left
by plane for San Francisco Tues

Symonds was beaten uncon- j

riotous strikes in Singapore. He
died the following day. His body
was flown here from Singapore

United States.

Nary pool," he says.
"Construction of locks in the
proposed Priest Rapids Dams on
the Columbia east of Yakima,
plus minor clearing of shoals
just above the McNary Dam res
ervoir backwater, would make
river navigation to the doorstep
of Wenatchee a reality," he says.
The Coast Guard already is
studying the feasibility of in
stalling navigation markers on
the Snake so full-scale barge
traffic can be conducted from
Lewiston to the river's conflu
ence with the Columbia near
Pasco.
West points out the future of
port districts on the Columbia
Snake system east of Vancouver
is tied up directly with improve
ment of navigation conditions
and with how barge operators
feel about increasing the size
of the cargoes they haul.
Increased Cargoes Seen
At least one company looks
forward to increased cargoes.
Most firms haye been using
barges with a capacity of from
500 to 1,000 tons, but Inland
Navigation Company is building
bigger ones.
Its "Kiska Island," la r g e s t
barge ever put into service on
the Columbia, was launched in
March. It is a former LST
landing ship tank hull 327 feet
long with a dry cargo capacity
of 4,600 tons.
It draws 15 feet when loaded,
which will confine its operations
to the reach below Celilo Falls

Barg.-j Available
"Until the John Day Dam is
built, it won't be practical to
use our big new barges above
The Dalles because of the neces
sity of reducing loads to main
tain a minimum draft necessary
over the Columbia's treacher
ous channel," a company spokes
man says.
The company also says it has
equipment and shallow-draft
barges capable of navigating the
Snake to Lewiston. The spokes
man says some shoal clearing
and establishment of navigation
markers would provide six to
eight months of access to the
rich agricultural region of east
ern Washington.
