Dunion, 71, a retired vice presi dent of Colonial Air Lines and a pioneer in the development of the American aircraft industry, died Tuesday. Wednesday, October 9, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Handicapped Veteran at Camp White Rehabilitated; Becomes Full-Time Cook Edward J. Barton, 44-year-old World War II veteran now resid ing afthe Veterans Administra tion domiciliary at Camp White, is a good example of what can be done through vocational re habilitation of a handicapped person. National Employ the Handi capped week is being observed through this week and the Jack son county committee is step ping up its program to encour age employers to find a place for handicapped workers. Barton sustained a back in jury while in the service, re sulting in a left sciatic neuritis. He had a spinal fusion and on admittance to the Camp White domiciliary was unable to fol low his occupation as a cook, according to VA officials. After several interviews he ; was assigned to light activity j in the veterans' canteen. Inter-i mittent periods of back pain interfered with his work, offic-' ials said, but by March. 1956. i he had developed sufficient to consider him for a job as full j time cook. ! He was allowed to assume i duties in the kitchen, working I i Audio-Visual Group To Meet at Ashland ; Ashland Laurence Butler, state vice president of the Ore- j gon Audio-Visual association j and director of the Audio-Visual j center at Southern Oregon col- lege, is in charge of the pro gram for the fall meeting of, the association Oct. 12 on the j SOC campus. Donnell Sanders, ; Coos Bay school administrator, j is president of the group. Speakers for the conclave in clude Don Hunter of the Audio Visual department of the Uni versity of Oregon, who will pre sent a discussion, "How to Se lect a Tape Recorder for Your School:" William Rush of the department of visual instruc tion, general extension division, who will offer a section on the selection of 16 mm sound pro jectors: and Leonard Hunting of the Rand-McNally company, who will talk on the geophysical year. Areas to be covered by Hunt ing will include financing and the international cooperation necessary to insure the success of the program which began in July, 1957, and which will end Dec. 31, 1958. whenever his back condition would allow. Together with medical treatment, kitchen du ties and long walks, Barton's back developed to the point to where he was able to take on full-time kitchen duties under Civil Service. He also has kept his interest in the canteen, of ficials said, and from time to time has come up with ideas for improvement in that depart ment. Experience with his own dis ability has made him a logical teacher of other veterans with cooking backgrounds and he has assisted several toward rehabili tation, domiciliary officials said.
