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.

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.

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

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

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.
