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.

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.

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'

where she expects to finish her
course and graduate as a teacher
of Unity. Before returning
home, she will visit her son,

ily in Washington, D.C.

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,

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

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

things he has to buy to produce.

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

rows and 11 feet between trees.
It .is claimed that dwarf varie
ties under favorable conditions
will begin bearing a few years
after grafting.
