TEM MSDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, June 13. 1956 New AMA President Urges Science Mixed With Friendly Touch Chicago U.R .A country physician newly chosen as presi dent ol the American Medical Association Tuesday night urged doctors to mix "modern scien tific methods with the personal friendly touch ot the old-time family doctor." Dr. Dwight Murray, 68, Napa, Calif., warned in his in augural address at the AMA s 105th annual meeting that the abundant knowledge and skills of doctors is "no substitute for kindness and understanding." He said doctors must work with the public to preserve the "human side of medicine." Phy sicians should try to devote more time and personal interest to each' patient, he suggested. "Above all, be friendly, pa tient and sympathetic," he ad vised. Turning his attention to the patient's role, Murray said the public should remember that -no Edge Herd Listed As Top for May James and Neola Edge own the top producing herd for May, according to the Jackson County Dairy Herd Improvement asso ciation. The herd includes 32 cows, and averaged 1,394 pounds of milk and 49 pounds of butter fat during May. The other four top herds were owned by Hubert and Elise Werrlein, C. F. Smith and sons, Richard Westerberg, and J. E. Parsons. Fred and Ethyl West owned the top cow for May, Little May be, according to the association. The cow average 2,124 pounds of milk and 142.3 pounds of butter fat during May. Other top cows were Maude, owned by J. H. Stanley; Sandra, owned by Richard Westerberg; Kit, owned by M. B. Caster; Tinka, owned by James and Neola Edge; Penny, owned by C. F. Smith and sons; Bracelet, owned by James and Neola Edge; Myrtle, owned by Victor and Nita Birdseye; Jewel, owned by J. E. Parsons; and Bessie, owned by James and Neola Edge. doctor is a "miracle man.' "All the advancements of science can't make a sick man well unless he tries to cooper ate with his physician," he said. "So choose your doctor care fully, have faith' in his ability, follow his instructions and give him a fair chance to show that he can help you." Murray, a general practitioner in California for more than 35 years, still drives 30 miles to see a patient. He was born on a farm in Law rence county, Ind., and launched his education in a one room country school. He worked his way through college on a va riety of part-time jobs. Two months before his scheduled graduation from the Indiana University School of Medicine, in 1917, Murray began his medi cal career by joining the Navy.

The Orcsaojia A run up the Yaquina, that arm of the sea that twists and turns its way for miles into the Coast range east of Newport, is a vivid and nostalgic cross-section of the Oregon scene. You can leave the car behind in this ease, the white motor log sedan of the Oregon State Motor association at Newport or Toledo after an easy drive (it is 116 miles from Portland to Newport via the Salmon river cutoff) and transfer to a boat for a leisurely cruise up ' the river. Boats can be rented both at Newport and Toledo. This is lumbering country; the great C D. Jchhson mill at Toledo is one of the largest spruce mills in the world. Their huge barges,' loaded with lum ber to be sent on ships to all parts of the . world, make a stately procession behind power ful little tugs on their way down to Newport. Mills Work BnsHy Shingle mills and sawmills, cutting short-length boards, work busily along the Yaquina almost as' far inland as Elk City, about 20 miles up from the coast. The Yaquina. a wide bay fa side the bar, gradually narrows as you go upstream. On the right bank, a graveled road leads part way to the-ocean, but on the left, the road runs out to U. S. highway 101 at - Newport. On the left, above Toledo, a spur of the Southern Pacific railroad crosses the mountains from Corvallis and hauls logs to the mills and chip waste from the mills to be converted into paper in Oregon City. This waste was formerly sawed into slabwood and sold to families for burning. Train passenger service was discontinued years ago. The few Wlthm environ ef Elk City, quiet hamlet on the laqntaa, are two covered bridges, this one on road to town from Corvalrfc. NEWPORT, CtlitWOOi Communities along course of Yaquina are located on map. farm families who still live farther inland along the left bank of the river above Toledo must cross by boat to reach the road. Most of the farmhouse windows have A vacant stare, and they are mossgrown and saggy, , while the old orchard trees grow gray with lichens and plead to be pruned. Many ghostly pilings, stand ing singly or in groups lashed together by rusting cables, give evidence of past activity along the waterside. Below the banks are floating logs, some fastened together with steel straps, some almost submerged, basking in the sun like lazy hippos. ' It took over an hour to travel from Toledo to the small dock a - Elk City, which was built at Toledo and towed upstream to replace the old one when Elk City was a port of call for the steamboats on the river. Elk City, according to Paul Hanson, storekeeper, postmaster "and general factotum, is only three miles across the mountains, as the bees fly, from Toledo, but by the curving river it is nine.. In this isolated country, the small cluster of buildings is town to the 70 inhabitants, and the grange is the center of so cial life. ' -' Since passengers are not car ried on the trains any more, the covered bridge across to the -" railroad is used only by log trucks, and the county road ends at the bridge. Another covered bridge is a short dis tance upstream, on the road to Corvallis. On the hillside be yond are scars of the old quarry where the rocks for the jetty at Newport were blasted out and sent down river by barge. Hopes Held High Time was when this section of the country had high hopes for future development. Two' , and a half miles farther into the mountains, a place called Pioneer was platted. A large house was built to serve as & ' " hotel, and the steamboats came regularly upriver. Elk City was quite a place then, boasting boat service and a daily train both ways that ran all the way down to Ya-V quina, about half way between Toledo and Newport. Yaquina is more ghostlike now than Elk City. The steamboats were discon tinued at the beginning ef World War H. As. the logs were removed from the moun tains, the people moved on to greener prospects. In time na ture will heal the scars and cover them with new growth. Perhaps some spring ' the clean high water from the winter snows will carry the cluttering drift, which works farther upstream with every summer tide, down to the ocean and leave the Yaquina as clean and clear as it was when the first men roamed its forests and paddled their canoes over the reflected skyline on its bosom.
