(International) Piclcin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White ! By SID HOLLINGSWOHTH Bob Doran, who has driven the mail truck for several years without even a bent fender in brushing with traffic, was se lected to drive the ambulance to Vancouver hospital last week with the first two patients con veyed in this way in the absence 'of rail transportation. ' The. writer came from Med fcrd with him last Wednesday, and while waiting for him to take George Stapleton .to the eye doctor in the Medical Cen ter building, an opportunity was afforded to watch the . people moving along this busy thor oughfare minding their own business. Stapleton, incidentally, was the most seriously injured mem ber on the bus which figured in the recent crash at the Vgate." . People, , indeed, - are interest ing, and ' from the amount of business, stimulated by window shoDDine and advertising, that . was conducted in less than an hour at Main and Central, there should be no doubt about the soundness of the American econ- tuny, when multiplied by the hours in the day and by the number of communities in the nation similarly engaged. The ages from childhood to grandparents march by, the kids darting and jumping and run ning to gaze and point into the windows of stores. Adolescents trip along, nose in the air, and very proud to be seen, with mothers and others of middle age, serious of countenance and careworn. Among the strange faces,, sev eral familiar ones came along. Jenrngs Pierce, preoccupied with ideas, , came - striding out of the U.S. National to jaywalk across the street like a fullback on a football team, which the resembles physically. . Lelia Birch was doing a little shopping, although Camp, White people may be amazed that she can find time to take care of this feminine necessity. The old sea captain, Mart Hazen," marched by with his can and unlighted cigar aloft,' like a bowsprit. ' George Alsbrook former baker in the coffee shop, stopped to pass a few words of greeting and say that he was working somewhere in town. - There was no excite ment just business as usual. Bowling will be inaugurated as a "major sport" at Camp White early in October. The four alleys have now been in' stalled in one of the vacant buildings in the northeast corner cf the reservation. Frank Glonning,. of special services, has obtained the names of 10 men who have volunteered to set pins. It will not be like the "old days" when the pin boys and not the pins were apt to be the targets. , A semi-automatic pin setting machine, shielded ; from the al lv ia nart of the eauinment set of by the Brunswick people un- uer arrangements for transier iing the bowling alleys from another station to Camp White. , it hue taken most of the year to put everything in condition for the "grand opening" but the reel mine facilities are the last word, and members as well as personnel will be aoie to e,njoy this pastime and means for the uhvsical rehabilitation oi me handicapped. A meeting is . to De neia ti which time the rules and sched ule of operations will be ex plained to all interested euner in the exercise or the game it self Present plans call for league games in the evenings vhen the more proficient bowl ers among member employees and civil service use the alleys. During the day, classes will be held for those wishing to learn, and regular hours ar ranged for the men taking cor rective or exercise therapy, a number of 'bi2 time" ' bowlers are available both in the men's and the women's department. Max Ament is a graduate bf the member employee class who has won honors. A top match pair in the ladies section is the team of Joan McCready and Anna belle Zahnow. ' - For those who are interested in an interpretation of grammar through usage and connotation of words, the "Concise Diction ary of American Grammar" vat the Library is recommended. After defining "propaganda" this excerpt is added: "In the land of propaganda, witch' hunting takes precedence over fact finding, fool's gold is as valuable as real gold, and the trail of the herring is preferred to that of the fox. It is a land of half-truths, half-lights and menacing shadows where dan ger and hateful things lurk; a place of glitter and tinsel and sham where all the pigs are sold in pokes and mercenary lit tle simpletons choose a maniac to be their leader." In a foreword, the editors state: "we have freely made use of the works of recognized authorities" including H. L.
