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. They are undergoing re
pair at the present time.
Mrs. Augusta Henson, former
ly of Los Angeles, is spending
the summer with her daughters,
Mrs. Kermit Carroll and Mrs.
John Huffman.
Mr. end Mrs. Alfred Wright,
of Los Angeles, were overnight
guests recently at the home of
the John Huffman Th . Wrights
re' on a vacation trip to the
Black Hills in, the Dakotas.
Dinner guests of the Huffmans
this past week were Patricia
Huffman, wife of PFC John
Huffman, and her mother, Mrs.
Jerry Burt of Klamath Falls. Pa
tricia made the visit home while
her husband was away at Camp
Hawthorne, Nev., for quali
fication in marksmanship.

News About Books
From the Library
In the spring of the year about
one out of every five persons in
America turns gardener, and
many of them tell themselves
they're just too busy to read for
a while.
These people are missing a
trick in our opinion, for books
can help gardening enthusiasts
with many of their moxt vexing
problems. There's a great deal to
be learned from the experience
and advice of experts on all
phasts of the craft howto pre
pare the soil, what to plant, need
ed equipment, , weeds, - insect
pests, and garden furnishings.
Books and pamphlets and mag
azine articles on vegetable, fruit,
and flower growing suitable for
both beginners and experienced
gardeners are available at the
Medford Public library..
Among the books on gardening
subjects which have been add
ed to the library since last gar
dening season are "Taylor's En
cyclopedia of Gardening," John
Hanley's "Year 'Round Garden
ing in the West," and H. S. Art
Ioff s "Color and Design for
Every Garden."
Plant Propagation
In "Plant Propagation in Pic
tures" the renowned horticultur
ist, Montague Free, presents the
various aspects of plant propaga
tion in a series of step-by-step
pictures explaining by captions.
"Garden Enemies," by Dr. Cyn
thia Westcott discusses the di
seases and pests that afflict trees
and garden plants. The same
author has given us the "Gar
dener's Bug Book" and "Any
one Can Grow Roses."
Roses are but one of the many
specialized gardening subjects
covered in the library's collec
tion. Others are lilies, dahlias,
primulas, perennials, climbers
and ground covers, lawns, trees
and shrubs, wild flower garden
ing, window box gardening,
shady gardening, and landscap
ing. Recent Additions
Herb gardeners will enjoy two
recent additions to the garden
section: Helen Webster's (not
yours truly) "Herbs: How to
Grow Them" and the "Home
Garden Book of Herbs and
Spices," by Milo Miloradovich.
Families who enjoy garden liv
ing will profit by reading "How
to Build Outdoor Fireplaces and
Lawn Furniture" and "Build
Your Own Barbecue" as well as
several other books on fences,
walks, and garden ornaments.
New' books on the use of
flowers and plants in, bouquets
and corsages include Margaret
Dodson's "Easy Guide to Color
for Flower Arrangers," Myra
Brooks' "Magic World of Flower
Arranging," Mary Drummond's
"Styling Corsages with Garden
Flowers,' 'and Marie Lochry's
"Corsages of Pods and Cones."
"Flower Show Themes," by
Dorothy Biddle will be of inter
est to garden club members.
Any of the library's books on
gardening may be borrowed
from the Medford Public Li
brary or its Jackson county
branch libraries upon request.

Water District
Election Tuesday
An election will be he'd
Tuesday in the Kines hiehwav
water district on the annexation
to the district of a portion just
south of the present incorporat
ed area, according to Mrs. Jean
nette Marshall, attorney of the
district.
The area which includes about.
145 people, voted 45-2 last week
to be annexed to the water dis
trict. Boundaries of the pro
posed , annexation area extend
south from Stewart ave. to a
line 400 feet south of Old Stage
rd. Happy Valley drive and
Sunny View lane are the only
other streets in the new area.
376 Voters
Mrs. Marshall said the elec
tion will be held from 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m. at the Wayne Troxeli
residence, 1833 South Peach t
The incorporated area includes
about 376 registered voters, she
said.
If the proposed area is ap
proved by district voters, Mis.
Marshall said, it will share in
assuming the bonded indebted
ness of the district.
Increase Valuations
The attorney said annexation
of the proposed area would in
crease property valuations in the
water district. As a result, new
bonds could be issued to finan .e
construction of water mains in
the newly annexed portion and
fire hydrants in the entire dis
trict.
A bond issue election to ap
prove installation of fire hy
drant and water main improve
ments in the district will be held
May 22 at the Troxeli residence
if district voters annex the pro
posed area Tuesday, Mrs. Mar
shall said.
