By SID HOLLINGSWORTH The "new home" of the hob bies and crafts activities of the domiciliary will be on display j Sunday, May 19, the date of the Hobby Fair, along with various items made by the members. This will the first time the event, an annual VAVS festival will be held anywhere at the sta tion other than the theatre. A carnival atmosphere has marked the occasions in the past. This year it will be more of a house warming. The Veterans administration recognizes the importance of hobbies in the phase of medical rehabilitation known as geria trics. Congress has directed 1 special study of this problem with the increasing number of older men taking advantage of domiciliary care. The hobby shop was one of the early facilities provided in veterans homes but it was made available only for those who were capable of working at some craft such as tailoring, watch making, radio repair and in leather, wood and metal crafts. Now the emphasis is being di rected to training and the devel opment of new skills in such fields as weaving, ceramics, lap idary and special departments of woodworking. All domiciliary members are invited to partici pate in the program. Among pioneers in promoting this interest from the standpoint of volunteer assistance was the Elks, in the program started here by Cliff Howard, then hos pital chairman. Howard was, and still is, a firm believer in the arts and crafts idea, and was ready to support shows of this nature. Camp White has been a mec- ca for many itinerant artists and craftsmen, desirous of recaptur ing a lost art or of biding their time and then moving on. Men who were truly gifted at writ ing, drawing and painting have been here. Also, there have been men with special skills, such as the dells made by Asa Kimball, and more recently the model ships constructed by Dan Dyer, now in business as a cabinet maker at Central Point. One of the best makers of bows for archery spent some time in the woodworking depart ment in this hobby. Fine leather work, table covers and copper work, such as that done by Deane Stewart, have been turn ed out through the years. Deane is still here, and so is George Butts, who reproduced pistols, guns and revolvers of early design as a hobby. He has consented to take over super vision of arts and crafts in the new program. with the assortment of agates in this part of the country, there is the shop of Leland Green, who has one of the finest collections of finished, semi-finished and unusual stones to be found any where. He has quite a library of books and magazines on minerology. His "customers" come from far and near to look over his collection. Three school , teachers from Australia, Dorothy Morris, Mol- lie Wood and Margaret Kevan called during their Rogue valley visit and were amazed at his display. Opal is their specialty in gems. Green produced a black opal and they told him the place it came from in Australia. TABLE ROCK MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEH Mosquito Control Suggested a Droocn or carved ivory, which started on a journey in 1830 in Germany and traveled across the continent in the first all mule caravan to cross the planes, has found a resting place in the Jacksonville Museum. It was given to the ' museum by James E. Dean, a veteran now living at the domiciliary. Dean has kept the brooch hid den since 1905, when his grand mother, Mary Angeline Tall- madge, gave it to him at their home in Lodi, Calif., saying that it was very old. His grandfather, "Two gun" Jim Tallmadge, he says, was elected scout and captain of the wagon train which started west in 1851. "He rode one mule all the way from New York to Lodi,. Calif.," Dean relates.

Mrs. Byrd was honored with a certificate of membership and cape as a new member of the styling committee. Dr. G. O. Cannon, assistant professor of industrial trade at Oregon State college, spoke on "Professional Ethics." announcm OOO By R. E. NEALON Table Rock The time to start mosquito control is fa'st ap proaching, if not already here As many of our residents did not consider the work done by the county last year as an efficient method of control, it seems we should get busy on some plan before the pests begin to hatch. Any place, or any container where water can. stand for a few days during warm weather, is a potential incubator for mosqui toes. If each of us would keep the pests from hatching on our property, there wouid be few, if any, to plague us during the season. We suggest that we make mosquito control our commu nity project for the season ahead. Mrs. Ray Bosworth left here May 3, on a trip by train that will take her. first to Topango, Calif., where she will visit sev eral days with her daughter, Mrs. William Tunberg. Leaving there, she will journey on to Lee Summit, Mo, where she will re gister for a term in Unity Head' quarters School of Teachers, where she expects to finish her course and graduate as a teacher of Unity. Before returning home, she will visit her son, Col. Claire P. Duffie and fam ily in Washington, D.C. Miss Rae Bosworth, of Med ford, will keep house for her fa ther during his wife's absence. Several local folks attended an open house Sundpy at the David Doran home in Medford, celebrating the 25th wedding anniversary of the Lloyd Van derpools. - full house, which included visit- tors from surrounding districts and some from Medford and Central Ppint. A quite lengthy and interesting program was carried out, with David Dran acting as M.C., and Danny Mil ler introduced as Liberace, start ing off with a piano solo. Among the several features was a number of songs by a troupe of young people from St. Mary's Academy, burlesque dancing in costume by a bevy of girls from Central Point, Sams Valley and Table Rock; songs by Carl Vanderpool and Richard Morris, with guitar accompani ment, Richard impersonating El vis Presley; slide pictures, taken and shown by Miss Doreen Straus of Sams Valley ,of scen ery, buildings, people and their way of living in old Mexico proved to be very interesting. The next and final meeting of the season will be in the form of a picnic and dinner at Tou Velle park, with date and par ticulars announced later. as we While attending the Roosevelt memorial dinner the other night we noticed there weren t many there as usual, so asked, "How come?" We were told it was caused by too many Democrats being out of work Noticing a sprinkling of Repub licans present, and wondering about this, we were told that they were those that had lost their jobs, and noting a former member of the Republican com mmee on our rignt. ana ex- Republican official across the table, another a few tables away, and a Republican busi nessman a few chairs up the aisle, who had recently taken wife, we concluded our in former was right. We were seat ed beside a Democratic barris ter, and thought for a minute or two of engaging in an argu ment with him, but you just don't get anywhere arguing with a lawyer, that kind of thing is right up his alley, -The shower of rain falling here Wednesday, although light in volume, did a lot of good to growing crops and late sown grain.

Earl Peffley, and Mr. and Mrs. Dale Schulz all of Sams Valley, were brief callers here Sunday. According to Albert Straus, some nice catches of fish are being taken from the big irri gation reservoir in Ramsey Canyon, one mmrod hooking ninety some fish. A little black male dog, sta tioned along the road near the Dunn home, appears to be wait ing for his owner to stop and pick him up. He seems to be used to children, and must have been lost from a car or dumped out. At least one dog and more than half a dozen house cats have been killed recently by speeders on the road between the Store and the Leverette corner. One operator, driving like the rresiaent going to nis Gettys burg farm, barely missed run ning over a small child that darted from an open gate, and seemed to be quite peeved and complained that the road was made for cars, not children. Sam Glass, the hatless hired man and ex-marine, has leased and prepared a field on the south end of the Baker farm for a planting of corn. He is doing this on his own, hoping to splice out his income, for since taking himself a wife, he finds , that two can't live quite as cheap as one. We listened the other night to a government farm expert tell ing over radio that the govern ment should aid some farmers to get out of farming and try something else. Some say they think Benson is doing a pretty good job of that now. When a unit of a farmer's produce is worth SI when it used to be wprth $2 and a unit of the things he has to buy to produce. most S3 when it used to be SI and his acreage is restricted, he will go all out to produce all he can on what acreage he is al lowed to plant. So, we will con tinue to have farm surpluses. A crew of workmen have fin ished setting out 456 apple trees of the dwarf variety on the Orville Hamilton farm. Only 2V acres of land was required, owing to the spacing of the trees which are 2(Kfeet between rows and 11 feet between trees. It .is claimed that dwarf varie ties under favorable conditions will begin bearing a few years after grafting.

An editorial in a recent issue of the Southern Standard, a paper published in Arkadelphia, Ark., gave one half column to the Oregon tax situation. Among other things mentioned is that Oregon is in a financial predica ment, 1 the legislature running around in circles trying to find a way out, with everyone seem ing to agree that the Oregon current income tax law is a mess and needs to be overhauled. The $64 question is simply, how? The copy was given us by Mrs. Ronald Shope, the paper being published back in her husband's home town. Manufacture of automobiles and parts is carried on in more than 1,900 plants in the U.S. mostly in the general vicinity of the Great lakes. 2,595 People Visit Museum in April Jacksonville A total rrf 2,595 people from 31 states, Alas ka, Canada, England, Sweden and Korea visited the Jackson ville museum during April.
