Pickih' Pears Newt and Notes Frcm Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH Two instances were noted in the past week at the V.A. domi ciliary of attention that is being given in Medford and vicinity to guidance of young people. The Red Cross, following a line of entertainment started re cently with a square dance, brought out a group of boys last week who are being trained by the PAL club, promoted by the Medford Police department to encourage athletics among teen agers. It was a boxing show, and the young boxers were introduced by two representatives of -the police department, and accom panied by a Beta Sigma Phi sor ority escort. Another visit and tour was made by the Future Nurses' club of Medford High school. There were 25' girls from the Medford school and seven from the Talent school. Juanita Anderson is their ad visor and conducts the tours through the hospitals as part of their routine at this stage. They are not trained as yet, but are being made familiar with the duties and responsibilities of the profession. Some of them have worked as nurses' aides. Mrs. L. L. Neifert, one of the mothers, was in charge of the Talent school girls. Eligibility for the club starts in the sopho more class, while at Medford they must "be juniors or seniors to join the club. Miss Grace Stuhr, chief nurse, conducted the group on the tour. They presented her a potted plant which was given to the library. Quite frequently, members of the same family turn up at Camp White. There have been brothers, and fathers and sons, but at present a grandfather and a grandson are members of the domiciliary. Both are named James, but the grandfather is Helms and the grandson's last name is Geeseman. Helms was in the Navy in World War I, stationed at the Great Lakes and at Brook lyn Navy Yard. His grandson spent five years in the Army during World War II. Thirty - three states, Alaska, British Columbia and the Dis trict of Columbia were repre sented in the domiciliary mem bership last year, according to records which have been made public. Oregon leads as the home state of 483 men, with the state of Washington second with 183. California is third with 102 list ed. Nevada follows with 30, Idaho with 23, Montana with 15 and Texas with 11. The number coming from Alaska was given at 18. One each hails from Vancouver; B.C., and Washington, D. C. A considerable amount of Ca nadian money in denominations of nickles, dimes and pennies goes into circulation at the domiciliary, as elsewhere in this part of the country. The Canteen accepts this in trade, since it corresponds so closely with the American equi valent. The candy machines, however, are not geared to handle Dominion 'money and some operating trouble has been experienced. The other day, a member brought back to the canteen store a new coin. He had no trouble id disposing of it as a curiosity. It bore the familiar British inscription, and came from Anglo Egyptian Sudan' in Africa. Announcement has been made that the Hobby Fair this year will be held Sunday, May 19, in the Arts and Crafts wing of the domiciliary. The fair will open at 10 a.m. and the doors will close at 5 pjn. As in former years, the public has been invited, and special arrangements have been made to conduct tours of the grounds on this occasion. The VA volun teer services sponsor the fab each year. The object of the Hobby Fair is to promote interest in the various handicrafts of members, including rugs, woodworking, leather, lapidary and other arts and skills. Most of the articles made will be offered for sale. A feature dispay this year will be the wheel chairs which were made in the arts and crafts section for the Pear Festival Pa rade.
