Oregon Pickin' Pears News and Notes Frem Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH The human equation wai stressed by Dr. Wallace J. Pi anka, chief medical officer, in his indoctrination talk to the volunteer workers Wednesday. After reviewing some of the specific conditions with which the medical department of the VA has to deal among the mem bers, Dr. Pianka emphasized the fact that as veterans, they are entitled to such benefits as they receive. "In the old days chronic dis ease was regarded as something the individual developed early in live and took care of as he grew older. Now we have meth ods of treating the aging that call for special consideration in encouraging an interest in life," he said. Dr. Pianka stressed the im portance of friendly contact and diversions as well as an under standing of the natural marks of getting old. The comparatively new de partment of physicial medicine and rehabilitation was ex plained to the class by Dr. Sam uel D. Earhart, in charge of the program at Camp White. He spoke of the advantages of therapy employed in dealing with arthritis and the effects of paralytic strokes. "In some in stances the patients, after treat ment, walk around as if they had never suffered a stroke," he declared. Dr. Earhart is now handling the largest enrollment since the establishment of this phase of medicine at the domiciliary. Supplemental therapy in man ual arts, more specialized than that provided in arts and crafts, is planned to aid the handi capped in developing use of fin gers and hands. Domiciliary Officer Ralph Ruffin explained the need for recreational interests in preserv ing the morale of the men, and R. E. Kelly, chief of social serv ice, outlined the types of vet erans and some of the reasons they are living in the domi ciliary. Frank Glonning, chairman of the VAVS advisory committee, arranged the program and intro duced the speakers. A tour of the station was conducted Wednesday morning. "Little did I realize when I joined the National Guard in Washington, D.C., in 1915, that it would lead to the field of service with the federal gov ernment I have followed for 40 years," Manager E. K. Ricker declared, in accepting the ruby studded pin presented at exer cises in his honor Wednesday. There were varying shades of emotion at this gathering, as As sistant Manager Harold Jaffrey extolled the type of manage ment and administrative experi ence represented by the devo tion to duty and breadth of understanding of Ricker in his entire career. "I will admit that at times he has appeared hard, but underneath his exterior is a warm individual with no malice whatsoever toward anyone, and I say without fear 'of contradic tion that the same traits of char acter have been exemplified in his contacts with every man, woman and child throughout the course of his life," Jaffrey emphasized. Ricker summed up his atti tude in these words: "I repeat now what I have said before. No one works for me, but with me." Manager Ricker assumed his duties at Camp White in the summer of 1953, during a period of transition and confusion gen erally in the affairs of govern ment. He proceeded "with firm ness in the right" to reorganize the domiciliary operations and FOR HALLOWE'EN oroensen s EAR3 0 J or A FIESTA. - BEKflTCHIEIS! Med Treasure -rrrrrfrjTfjj 1 Curiosity Shop Vase Is Pepperbox Pistol The sign said "Ye Olde Cu riositie Shoppe," but a casual glance at the window showed it to be mainly an ultramodern gift shop. No so to my friend, Charles. "Look," he said. "There in the window I saw it first." He ran inside. I saw him point to what seemed a vase, and a clerk removed it. I ran inside, too. The vase was not a vase at all, except by a stronge perver sion. Instead, it was a pepper box pistol, standing on its butt in a corner and with flowers protruding from its six barrels. Charles breathed a sigh of re lief as he shook the flowers out on the counter. "How much for this . . . er . . . vase?" He was examining the pistol carefully, expertly. The clerk pointed to a small price tag stuck on the heel of the butt. It read $15. "I'll take it," he said. He turned the stubby, .36 calibre weapon over and pointed to a name stamped in the metaL It was C. & H. Egg. "One of the greatest London gunsmiths," he said. "This is actually worth up to $100." OLD MALAYAN STAMP IS WORTH $100 NOW An argument was waxing hot and heavy over whether the col onial powers should give the colonies their freedom. "And we can expect the same thing soon in Malaya," one said. Our host, spotting the danger signals in rising tempers, de cided to change the subject. "Speaking of Malaya," he said, "do any of you know of Negri Sembilan? It's a country, not a person." Presently someone spoke up to say that he knew the place well. "Hunted tiger there in '35," he said. "It's just south of Se langor. One of the Malay States." "I was just wondering about it," our host continued. "When I saw the Malayan independence story, it reminded me of a Malay stamp I had as a youngster. So I looked it up." He produced the stamp from a nearby desk. It was a lilac colored item of 80-cent denomin ation. Its dominant feature was a ferocious-looking tiger head. On either side were the words POSTAGE and REVENUE. Above was a crescent between two stars. Below the name N. Sembilan. Surcharged on it in red and. green ink were the words FOUR CENTS. The old, tiger-hunting, Malay hand became quite excited when he saw it. "I know the stamp well," he said. "With that surcharge in both red and green ink, it's worth $100 easy." LE MAT REVOLVER SHOOTS BUCKSHOT There was six quart bottles lined up side by side on a board at the end of Jack's basement shooting gallery. "I'll break them all," he said. "And with just one shot from my .44." There was a blast of flame and noise from the muzzle of the heavy revolver in Jack's hand. And, sure enough, when the cloud of black powder smoke had cleared away, only one of the bottles was still standing. "It's really not a billiard tech nique," Jack said. "A handful of buckshot does the trick. This is one of the famous Le Mat re volvers." The weapon had two barrels, one above the other. The upper, rifled for .44 caliber cartridges, served a nine-shot cylinder. The lower, extended to form an axis for the cylinder, was a smooth bore of 12 gauge, carrying either shot or solid ball. As a shotgun, the Le Mat's pattern was terrific. Since the barrel was only seven inches long it made an enormous spread. A load of birdshot, No. 6s, made a pattern 11 feet across at 40 feet. Jack's weapon was one that had been purchased by the Fed' eral government from its Paris manufacturer for use in the Civil War. Its pinfire mechanism had been converted so' that it would take center-fire ammunition. Jack paid $175 for it and felt himself very fortunate to get such a gun in good working order. "I've seen one with a ten gauge axis barrel," he said, "and I've offered $300 for it. But the owner won't sell." (Released by McCIudo Newspaper Syndicate) A QUICK DIP Ashland, Wis.
