News and Notes
From Camp White
By L. J. "Tick" Malarlcey
"Rocky" Farlinger, who finds
the unexpected in his numerous
jaunts around the Camp White
region searching for agates, hit
the jackpot this week with one
he lugged all the way from
Antelope creek. He was about to
throw it out after hanging on to
it for a month or more. "Just
bull agate," he thought. Then
he decided to give it a whirl and
sawed off several slices. What
he found was iris of a very fine
quality and the number of slices
estimated in the stone at 'pre
vailing values makes the item
worth 'at least $200.
George Walker, Company A,
is confined to the infirmary.
George prior to entering the VA
hospital in Portland five years
ago from where he was trans
ferred to Camp White was
employed by the Longview Fib
er company at Longview, Wash.
His brother Fred is also on the
station and is a member of Com
pany I. Fred has been retired by
the Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph comany. The Walkers are
the only brother team that we
know of who are in The Home.
George is improving in the in
firmary and expects to be re
leased from there soon.
"Handsome Harry" Carsewell
recently was granted a dis
charge and headed for his home
state of Nevada. Harry had a
wide acquaintance among the
men here. He was a proof read
er on Dominews and during his
working days "on the outside"
he was a printer. It was his
boast that he had been employed
in every state of the Union, itiis
plans were indefinite but it is
a good bet that when the chill of j
the first fall rains begin "Hand
some Harry" will head back to
the Rogue valley.
We always get a "kick" from
a visit to the station's barber
shop presided over by. Herman
Priem who makes his home in
Sams Valley. There is a friendly,
good-natured atmosphere and
Herman is now assisted by "Raz
or Jack" Turner who is a mem
ber of Camp White. Jack and
Herman are kept very busy
through the day but seem to
take things in stride and never
get "out of sorts."
Priem's "thundering herd"
which grazes on 300 acres now
totals 35 head. There is no doubt
as time goes on but what Her
man will become a cattle king
when he is ready to put aside his
clippers and razors. At least he
has this to look forward to.
Marion Milne and Eddie Ed
wards are gone on a 15-day fur
lough. Both members belong to
the Medford Chin-Up club and
their first stop was in Portland
to attend the state convention of
the Chin-Up clubs. From there
they were to go to Edwards'
home in Klamath Falls and after
there a visit to Reno, Nev. Both
men are expected back this week
end. They are veterans of World
War II.. Edwards is a wheel
chair patient, the result of se
vere battle wounds suffered in
Europe. He owns a car and Milne
does the driving.
Chaplain Albert S. Feller , is
now permanently installed at
Camp White. He returned this
week from Roseburg where he
leased his home for three years,
Mrs. Feller and a daughter will
make their home here with him
and they will live on the station.
The new Protestant chaplain
is a veteran of both wars. Dur
ing World War I he was with a
combat infantry outfit and re
ceived a rather bad wound. Dur
ing World War II he served as a
chaplain in the south Pacific,
Chaplain Feller was stationed at
the Roseburg VA hospital for 10
years. He states that he is en
joying his new assignment very
much.
Paul Alexander has returned
from Portland. While attending
the Rose Festival there he met
both ex-President Harry Tru
man and Senator Wayne Morse
He enjoyed this experience
greatly. Alexander said that Sen
ator Morse would visit at Camp
White when he came to Medford
the first week in July. "The
senator is greatly interested in
the welfare of Camp White,"
Alexander stated.
Another one of the lads mak
ing plans to leave the "old
stamping grounds" is Art Lar
son, Company A. Art is a vete
ran of both War I and II. He
wants to make his home in Ari
zona if the climate agrees with
him. Art has the distinction of
giving pitch-playing Hugh Mar
tin plenty of competition when
ever the two get together. At
their last meeting "Uucle" Hugh
Martin came out on the long end
of the score sheet, thus retain
ing his championship. Larsen
thinks that he will take his leave
right after the first of Septem
ber. Joe Teppan who had a wood
working department in the
Hobby shop is still in the Port
land VA hospital. He has been
there for about three months and
is making pretty good progress.
Joe worked with wood in the
Hobby shop and did everything
from repairs to the manufacture
of novelties. John "Bubbles"
Hall is also at the Portland hos
pital receiving treatment. Pos
sibly will be there another
month or six weeks.

Amon Carter, Man
Who Put Fori Worth
On Map, Succumbs
Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R)
Amon G. Carter, 76, multi-millionaire
newspaperman - philan
thropist who devoted his life to
making the world conscious of
Fort Worth, died Thursday night.
Carter died at his Fort Worth
home at 8:20 p.m. It ended a spec
tacular career that saw Carter
rise from a poor Texas farm boy
to become' one of the world's
best-known and most-powerful
publishers.
Family at Side
His newspaper, the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, reported that he
died with only members of his
immediate family at his bedside.
That would include his only son,
Amon Carter Jr., his wife and
daughter.
Carter had been in failing
health since Feb. 26, 1953. At
that time, he suffered two heart
attacks. But he rallied and as
late as April of this year attend
ed the annual meeting of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association in New York.
Entertained Presidents
During his lifetime, he enter
tained some of the world's greats
and near-greats. These included
Dwight Eisenhower, before he
became president, the late Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, one
time New York City Mayor Jim
my. Walker, and Lord Rother
mere ,the London publisher.
It was under Carter's astute
leadership that Fort Worth grew
from a dirt-road "cowtown" to
become the city "where the West
begins." He poured millions into
furthering this growth.
A myriad of business inter
ests he was an oil millionaire
earned for him the unofficial
ttle of "Mr. Fort Worth," and
Fort Worth often was referred
to as "Cartersville."
Toglialti Summoned
By Italian President
Rome (U.R) President Gio
vanni Gronchi summoned Com
munist Party boss Palmiro Tog
liatti today to help find a way
out of the political crisis that top
pled Premier Mario Scelba.
Togliatti was calling as presi
dent of the Red bloc which is
listed first in the Chamber of
Deputies. With him went old
time party organizer Mauro
Scocciamarro, president of the
Senate Communist group.
The new President, himself a
left-of-center politician, expected
to consult with at least 23 politi
cal groups or leaders by Satur
day evening or Sunday when he
may be in a position to name a
premier-designate.
Big Four May Discuss
Any Issue on Tenson
Washington (U.R) Senate Re
publican Leader William F.
Knowland said last night that
there is nothing to keep U." S.
representatives at the forthcom
ing Big Four conference from
bringing up any issue for discus
sion. "Although these top-level con
ferences are designed to be
exploratory in nature," Know
land said, "there is nothing to
foreclose our representatives . . .
to raise any or all problems ...
of existing tensions."
In a speech to the Foundation
to Defeat Communism, Know-
land made no mention of
Wednesday's Senate battle over
whether Congress should de
mand that President Eisenhower
seek to force a discussion of the
plight of Soviet satellites at the
Phil Silvers, Nat Hilcen Have Successful
TV Show, But Public Has Never Seen It
By JACK GAVER
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) Comedian
Phil Silvers and Nat Hiken,
writer, director and producer of
comedy shows, have a joint TV
enterprise that sometimes gives
them pause.
"Once in a while we'll be tak
ing stock," Silvers explained,
"and I'll say: 'Nat, we'd be fools
to release this show to the pub
lic. Nobody's seen it and it's
already a hit. Let's quit while
we're ahead'."
This exaggeration, of course,
is not boastful on the part of Sil
vers: it is merely a sVrt of ra
tionalization attempt in view of
Action Scheduled
On Bill To Okay
Colorado Project
Washington (U.R) The
House Interior committee today
formally scheduled for ' action
next Tuesday a bill to authorize
the Upper Colorado Reclama
tion project. A sponsor pre
dicted it will be recommended
by a "good vote." .
Committee Chairman Clair
Engle (D-Calif.) scheduled the
bill in a notice to committee
members. It was approved by
a subcommittee nearly two
weeks ago but a full committee
meeting on it last Tuesday was
cancelled by Engle.
To Offer Amendment
He said he intends to offer an
amendment to eliminate contro
versial Echo Park dam entirely
from the bill. As approved by
the subcommittee, the measure
calls for a study of Echo park
and possible, alternates by a
commission appointed by the
President.
Rep. Wayne Aspinall (D-Colo),
the bill's author, said the bill
should get out of committee by
a comfortable margin. But he
said he expects a close vote on
the Echo park issue.
the fact that for months now a
few people "in the trade" who
have been permitted to see some
of the Silvers-Hikens films have
been raving about the program
that will bow on CBS-TV this
fall. Silvers is too old a hand in
show business, from burlesque
on up, to be overwhelmed by
glowing advance notices.
"I do think we have a. good
show," the comedian said, "but
the decision will come from the
public after the show is on the
air, and quite properly so."
Starting Sept. 20, it will be on
the CBS network Tuesday nights
at 8:30.
As a matter of fact a small por
tion of the public maybe 5000
persons has seen various epi
sodes of the program. The half
hour shows are filmed here in a
studio, and, through the free
tickets handed out by CBS to
those seeking any sort of TV or
radio program in action, about
400 have sat in on each filming
session.
"And they supply the laughter
for the sound track," "Silvers
said.
"We wouldn't think of using
dubbed-in laughter, and I must
say our audiences so far seem to
have enjoyed themselves with-
Phenix City Among
Finalists lor Award
New York (U.R) Phenix City.
Ala., once "the wickedest city in
the United States," is among 22
finalists for selection as the city
that has done the most to solve
its local problems through citi
zen action, it was announced
today.
The Alabama "sin city" was
selected by a screening commit
tee of the National Municipal
league which with Look Maga
zine has presented an annual
All-America Cities award for the
last six years.
Other finalists include: River
side, Calif.; Fort Collins, Colo.;
Dubuque, la.; St. Paul, Minn.;
Grand Island, Neb.; El Campo,
Tex., and Bellevue, Wash.
out being prodded into laughing
it up. All we ask is that they
laugh when something strikes
them as funny."
Army Life
The program is called "You'll
Never Get Rich,"lwhich is enough
of a hint that it's about Army
life. Silvers plays Master Ser
geant Bilko, and that name alone
tells the sort of conniving "big
operator" the character is.
"But Bilko is not an offensive
character in any sense," Silvers
explained. "He does not pick on
rookies; he does not even fight
with the brass. His victims, if
you want to call them that
usually he winds up being the
victim of his own grandiose
schemes are his peers the
other sergeants in the camp.
Really no one gets hurt except
Bilko occasionally, and he can
ignore defeat as though it never
happened."
Silvers explained that the pro
gram was carefully planned for
many months before shooting
began on the first 13 episodes
last April.
"The first thing Nat and I de
cided was that anyone could
make at least one good pilot film
for a program," he said. "We
wanted to know at the start
whether he had something that
still would be strong and inter
esting when we got to the 30th
show. Only when we were con
vinced of that and we've even
gone so far as to plan a year or
so in advance when Bilko might
want to leave the Army, did
we go ahead."
More To Come
Shooting of the second set of
13 films began two weeks ago
and will be completed by the end
of August. The third" set will go
on camera late this year.
"We do one a week," Silvers
said. "We rehearse right up to
Friday, which is shooting day.
The cameras roll right after the
dress rehearsal, and we' finish
a 30-minute script in about 45
minutes, stopping only for cam
era reloading. We do not stop
for minor fluffs; they stay right
in. We're not filming a movie;
we're filming a TV show.

People say success makes success
but we say people make success,
and how!
It's people just like you who are
snowballing Buick sales this year to
an all-time peak.
It's people just like your neighbors
down the street who are snapping up
these gorgeous new Buicks almost as
fast as we get them from the factory,
and causing Buick production to climb
to new levels every month, to handle
the unparalleled demand. .
And it's people just about from every
walk of life who keep Buick sales
soaring without letup and who have
moved Buick more solidly than ever
into the charmed circle of America's
top best sellers.
But why? Why this phenomenal
swing to Buick on the part of people
who can choose any, new car?
Because Buick's a buy definitely.
And because it's a bold beauty that
catches the eye and holds it that's
for sure.
And certainly because it's supremely
level of ride and a sweet joy to handle
and a mighty bundle of high-voltage
V8 power to melt away the miles and
the high hills.
But most of all, because Buick this
year is a performer like no earth
bound vehicle ever was before...
Because Buick and only Buick has
the airplane-principled magic of
. Variable Pitch Dynaflow where you
switch the pitch for big gas savings in
cruising or for whip-quick getaway
response and acceleration when you
need a sudden safety-surge.
Its sheer thrill, and pure pleasure,
and a big boon to your gasoline budget
and you really ought to try it.
Gome visit us soon this week, at the
latest and see for yourself why this
is the car folks just won't do without
the biggest-selling Buick of all time.
