(International Soundphoto) Pickin' Pears By SID HOLLINGSWORTH There is at least one thing the pear growers of the valley will not have to worry about this year. The labor supply will not be overcrowded by one group of pickers, as the following 'notice" proclaims: "We wish to cancel our con tract for handling the picking of your fruit for the season. There are many reasons for our action, to wit: your trees are too high; our men are experts and demand the best the fruit is of poor grade; your price of 13 cents a box is too low for this type of picker, however, the men been released from any obligation to the present compa ny and are on their own. Many of them can be contacted at one of the following places (Names deleted). If, however, the situa tion gets acute, we may con sider helping the Medford grow ers, provided they roll the trees into Camp White. It is ad dressed to the Fruit Growers association, USA Gladys McCracken, the new dietitian, coming from the VA hospital at the northern tip of Chesapeake Bay, finds the moun tainous surroundings and clim ate here stimulating enough to offer a cuilinary tribute to the region. "As a newcomer to Oregon, I would like to mention a few of the spices I have found here," ' ahe writes. "The crisp peppery nights, the warm sunny days like chili in the beans. The aroma of burning wood from the lumber mills, like cinnamon and nutmeg in the pie. The sun shining down on forests gives the added tang of allspice. The lift of snow capped mountains is the touch of rosemary in the casserole. The gardens and groves of fruit trees are the solid seasoning of salt. The cor dial friendliness of the people the all pervading warmth of a medley of spices." The outstanding find of the season, so far as playing ability goes at Memorial Field, is Ellen Callahan, center fielder of the Dairy Maids. The fans have ac cepted her as their own. and anyone watching her field, bat and run. cannot help but wonder where she gets all that baseball instinct. In doing what comes naturaly, she has a good coach in her dad, Sly Callahan, who runs the Dairy Maids and is responsible for the pep and interest generat ed in his aggregation of girl Softball players. But Ellen Callahan has the professional manner which some times goes with a great name. There aren't any Callahan greats .in baseball. But in looking over the record, one name appears, which starts at the beginning of organized baseball. It is that of Jimmy Callahan, who joined the White Sox with Clark Griffith at the turn of the century and became a great pitcher, manager and player. Senator Wayne Morse has written to Henry C. Lanigan, a domiciliary member, that the House of Representatives has passed HR 52, and that it has CHILDREN News and Notes Frcm Camp White also been approved in the Sen ate.

Martin J. Hansen has been named to head the reorganized Garden Club of Camp White. Hansen returned here frnm Port land VA hospital recently. He is a veteran of 17 years in the Army transport service as stew ard. Hansen left the service after WW II. He feels that after his life at sea, some of the things he learned about planting and growing when he lived on a farm as a boy in Wisconsin would furnish an interesting change. A dozen men with experience at railroading met informally Wednesday night at the Arts and Crafts railroad room. They com pared notes on the thousand and one incidents connected with handling trains and locomotives, which are a part of the tradi tion of the rails.
