Post Office Men i To Receive Safety Driving Awards Twelve members of the Med ford post office staff will receive safe driver awards ranging from seven year to one year safety j records Thursday evening, local! postal officials have announced. The awards consist of a safe driving certificate, signed by Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield, and by Ned H. Dearborn, president of the Na tional Safety Council, and a gold lapel pin, with the number of years of driving without an acci dent superimposed on the pin. The safe driver award program of the Post Office Department is part of the National Safety Council program to reduce traf fic accidents, and the Post Office awards are based on the years of driving without a "preventable" accident. A post office driver may have been in an accident that was entirely the other driv er's fault, but if alertness on the part of the post office driver could have prevented the acci dent, the accident is charged against his record. Drivers Listed The awards will be presented by Clerk-in-charge Richard Sing ler, and the presentation will be shown over KBES-TV at 6:30 p.m. Post office drivers who will re ceive the awards, and the years of safe driving, are Charles Pette . grew, Alva Allen and John Crocker, seven years; Virgil Swanson, six years; WalterWil son, four years; Richard Wilson, Alfred Henenkrat, Willis Her man and Ivan Lantz, two years, and Ivan McKinney, Stephen Dodge and Harry Divistine, one year. Singler has been in charge of the government owned vehicles at the Medford post office, and of the safe driver program, since its inception more than a year go. ATOMIC ERA Washington Some scientists now estimate that by 1976 al Tnost one half of all the new pow er station installations in the U.S. will depend upon atomic energy for their primary power sources. When removing hooks from a fish you want to return to wa ter, use dry hands. They grip and hold fish better than wet hands and the small amount of body slime that you remove is soon replaced. Sports Afield. PicIcirT Pears News and Notes From Camp White (Editor's note: This column about happenings at the Vtt rans Administration Domicil iary at Camp White was orig inated by L. J. (Tick) Malarkey nearly four years ago. For the past year and a half. Malarkey has been battling poor health, but now finds himself suffic iently improved to start writ again. He and Sid Hollin'gs worlh, who has done the' column since Malarkey's ill ness, will share the duties of corresponding for the Mail Tribune for the more than 100 members of the VA center.) By L. J. 'TICK" MALARKEY Now making plans to "take a discharge" and leave Camp White after several years as a member here is Al Lehman, who prior to World War I was a member of the Portland fire de partment. Al was with the Rose City fire fighters a total of eight years, serving his time both be fore and after the first war. His war years were spent with the navy. During his stay here at The Home Al has made lots of friends and one and all wish him the best of everything when he "weighs anchor" in the near future. Another member getting ready to leave for a while is Paul Bima who does fine work with leather in the Hobby shop. Paul is think ing of going to the coast for the summer and just "take things easy" for a while. He has a car and will be equipped to camp out wherever he pleases. In his younger days Bima played in western pictures as a cowboy when Bill Hart was the big star. And today he will talk horses and cattle by the hour if given the opportunity. "Slim" Simms is a crony of his and as enthusiastic on the subject as Paul. They used to spin yarns by the hour when they roomed to gether on Ward 3, Company A. Grace Stuhr, chief nurse, has returned from Portland where she spent part of her annual leave taking in the Rose Festi val. While there she visited the Portland VA hospital and saw the parade of the wheel chairs which is a feature of the Rose Festival each year. Other vacationists back on the job are Nellie and Clarence Byron. Nellie helps Art Scarseth in the postoffice and Clarence is manager of the station's canteen and coffee . shop. The Byrons made an air trip east. "Say, why don't you ever write about Jacksonville?" This question was asked by Hugh Martin of Company A not so long ago. He makes his home in Jacksonville, but at this time we will defer writing anything about that fine little city but confine our efforts to just Hugh Martin. First of all he is a veteran of the war with Spain and boasts of some 79 years, which weigh very lightly on his shoulders. Ranching and mining claimed his time during younger days. In fact he has some mining claims in Jackson county now and has some California people interested in developing them. It is of in terest to note that when Hugh was a kid he played professional baseball with Sioux City in the Western league. His position was third base. He delights in telling the story of a catch for an out he made in those days. Seems as though the diamond adjoined a lake. On a foul ball he went after it up to his arm pits. And Hugh made the catch. pitch player. None better. During the recent state con vention of the Elks lodge held in Ashland, Linn Nesmith, a member employed as an orderly on Ward 8, attended the sessions and wrote the highlights for the Ashland Tidings. Linn has been a member of the Eugene Lodge of Elks for a great many years. Nesmith is Camp White's cor respondent for the Oregon Leg-ionaire. Ray Williams still is getting out the vote. Once a week he opens his of fice to register new members who are qualified to vote in this county. Registration headquart ers adjoin the contact office in the administration building. Camp White Post 6412, Veter ans of Foreign Wars, will install officers for the coming year Wednesday night of this week. Tom MacGowan visited briefly last week. About a month ago he left and went to Los Angeles to spend some time with a broth er there. After overseas service during World War I, Tom entered the University of Montana at Mis soula and while a student be came one of its all time great athletes. He was a tackle in football and a weightman on the track team. Football, however, was his special love and he was as good as they come. MacGowan stopped in Med ford on his way to Montana. Our information on Big Tom came from reading one of the year books put out by the uni versity when he was a student there. "Cap" Hazen checked out and will now make his home with a daughter in Portland. We can still remember "Cap" at Astoria when he was skippering river boats on his run between Port land and Astoria. He was among the best. And when he was aboard there never was a doubt in anyone's mind as to whom was "running camp." Hazen had been at White for three years. Arther Clemens is another veteran of the war with Spain. Arthur and Hugh Martin are buddies; they room next door to each other and their coffee brews are famous. Clemens was em ployed by the Copco of Medford and retired when that age was reached. He has a car and spends every week end with a sister who makes her home in Med ford. Keeps busy keeping up the lawn and repairs to the house. Phoenix Girl Awarded Honor in Code Contest Miss Betty Harris, a student this . year at Phoenix High school, received honorable men tion in the recent statewide re sponsible driving code essay con test. Contest results were an nounced by the Highway Life savers Committee, Portland, sponsors of the competition. Miss Harris was first place winner in Jackson County earlier in the year, and her essay was sent to Portland to compete with top writings from each of the state's 36 counties.

Tuesday ended their 10 year legal battle over Chelan Falls dam with a $20,000,000 settlement. Chelan County Superior Judge J. A. Adams approved the settlement which provides that the PUD will pay the power company $20,000,000 for the dam and power system located at the foot of Lake Chelan. The contest between the PUD and the power company began in 1945 when the PUD filed condemnation proceedings in an effort to acquire the dam. After aidecade of arguing the issue in the Superior Court and State Supreme Court, the PUD and Washington Water Power finally agreed on the $20,000, 000 figure. Both Kinsey Robinson, presi dent of Washington Water Pow er, and L. J. Richardson of Cashmere, president of the Che lan County PUD, expressed sat isfaction of the out-of-court settlement.

June 22. 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Construction Slated Soon on Micro-Wave Relay Near Medford Construction of one of eight radio relay buildings will begin soon on top of Old Baldy, the highest peak toward the eastern end of the valley, according to J. H. Creager, manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company in Medford. The Medford station will be one of a chain of eight micro wave installations to be built. Others are near Silverton, Al bany, Eugene, Cottage Grove, Roseburg, Wolf Creek and the Siskiyou summit. They are be ing developed for the Portland San Francisco Bay area micro wave system. Three More Channels The system, to cost an esti mated $4,812,000, will provide microwave channels for three network television programs, plus one standby channel for emergency use. Later, it will also be equipped to carry hun dreds of simultaneous telephone Guernsey Cattlemen Set Tour of Farms Guernsey cattle dairymen from Jackson and Josephine counties will tour farms in the Gold Hill and Grants Pass areas starting at 10 a.m. Thursday. The tour will start at Jacks Dairy across the Rogue River from Gold Hill and will include several guernsey farms in the Grants Pass area. A picnic lunch will be served at noon near Gold Hill. conversations. The present underground coaxial cable now "piping" TV programs into the Northwest will be used to aug ment existing long distance tele phone facilities when the micro wave system goes into operation. The stations are established at 30-mile intervals, Creager said, with the "line of sight" being more important than the alti tude of the mountain on which it is placed. The chain is expected to be completed by August, 1956. Cadet Leaves Soon; Jacket Said Needed Cadet Lt. Johnny Foust leaves Medford July 18 on his way to Chile as one of three Oregon cadets participating in the Civil Air Patrol exchange program.

CAP officers here said ' it would be greatly appreciated if anyone having such jackets, sire 40 or 42, to sell or loan, call Ma rella Luschen, 3-1216, or Mrs. Fred Foust, 2-8955. . see what a difference CM makes ...IN PRESERVIM AND C00KIN8 SUCCESS cane sugar THE ONLY CANE SUEAR REFINED IN THE WEST!
