Pickin Pears News and Notes Frcm Camp White By SID HOLLINGS WORTH This is a story of persever ence, which sometimes pays. In the field of letters, the man who writes fiction or poetry or essays has to know the agony of rebuff and the sting of criticism and rejection, and still be able to surmount these obstacles be fore success arrives. Encouragement of creative writing in the VA is furnished by a volunteer group of patrons under the name of the Hospitali zed Veterans Writing Project. Quarterly and annual contests are held. More and more, the veterans are struggling for rec ognition through this agency of encouragement. There is a veteran at Camp White who has received honor able mention on several occa sions. He has persisted and has studied and read the works of authors with appreciation of the fine points involved in gaining the laurel of success. This veteran has attended reg ularly the Readers and Writers club of Camp White under the supervision of the librarian Enid Holmes. His comments of prose and poetry are always pertinent and well expressed, for there was a time when he could sum up a case in court to command similar attention. But writing was always more difficult for him to master. He tried a new method. He got him self a bicycle and pedalled around the station for exercise. It also gave him an opportunity to collect his thoughts. He then wrote a poem and sent it in for the Writers' Project award. It won the first prize in the poetry division. Just for good measure, he sent in a feature article. It won second prize money. Manager E. K. Ricker Friday presented a $15 check for poetry and a $10 check for feature writing to Walter L. Townsend, at a special award meeting in the theatre. work, performed by disabled and hospitalized veterans, is furnished by the BPOE as part Of a nationwide nrndpam nt ra- - ovg.uui Vi X t I habitation, according to Emil Kreuger, Elks VAVS represen tative, a member of the Ash land Lodge. "California and Oregon In augurated a program of collect ing deer, elk, and cow hides for the use of veterans," he de clared. "Oregon has supolied nearly 2,000 of these hides," he said. Kreuger pointed out that the National Service committee for veterans in the Elks organiza tion has collected $2,321,000 for this work during the past 11 years. The Elks, it should be Remembered, are the only fra ternal body with a complete veterans program, he stated. His remarks were addressed to the veterans at Elks night Friday. The Rhythm Riders and the Ashland Kiltie Band alternated in furnishing an ev ening of Scotch and American music. Bob Lee, Dick and Kip Osborn and Charley Whtie comprised the Rhythm Riders quartet. Al Athanas was the drum major of the Kilties. He and his wife, Mary Ann, entertained with sev eral highland dances. The Lady Elks were sponsors last week for the birthday party for veterans born in November. They represented Lodge 944, Ashland. A group of 20 Bluebirds and Camp Fire Girls of school age from the second , to the eighth grade, sang and explained the nature of their duties. The Lady Elks in charge were Phyllis Christian, president, El sie Doyle, Minnie Gearhart, Vio let Hadfield, Billie "Johnson, Car ol Sharp, and Lura Smoot. Quigg Wishes Others Wouldn't Try to Solve New York Problems By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York 1Pt Oh, leave us alone, will you? Let us work out our own problems. We New Yorkers are just like anybody else, except maybe a mite more stubborn and jumpy at times. We know we're backward, but were trying. We need en couragement, not horselaughs, from the rest of the country. A man from down south has sent this department a cheery little message, as follows: "What happens when a city gets too complex, too overgrown, too mixed up? I'm thinking of New York. 'You Poor Fellows' "Seems to me every time I pick up a paper I see that the subway is out of commission up there, the water mains have bro ken, the lights have gone out, the steam pipes are leaking, the Long Island trains are stopped, traffic is jammed up, there's no place to park, or the mail is late. You poor fellows. Uh-huh. He forgets a couple. The National League has abscon ded to the West Coast and the poor pedestrian is being told, gently but firmly, that he no longer is a free soul wandering in the asphalt wilderness. For the moment, we're concen trating on reforming the pedest rians. And they're resisting stren uously. This week, the city be gan a long-heralded campaign against jaywalking. The idea is to try to educate New Yorkers against their impulse to walk out and get themselves killed. To get an unbiased idea of how the campaign was working out for the first couple of days, we turned to Robert Vermillion, a businessman from the Orient who got into town on a visit as the anti-jaywaik campaign start ed. "It's amazing," he said. "You have these big red blinking signs at the corners blazing with a 'don't walk' warning, and peo ple just walk right out against them and dodge through traf fic. At times there seem to be more people in the streets than there are on the sidewalks. Taxi Driver Pitches In "I came across the town in a taxi, and the driver seemed to be trying to do his part in the campaign. He would lean out the window and holler at scurry ing pedestrians, 'keep, working at it you'll be an angel yet.' " Asked whether Orientals were as backward as New Yorkers in the matter of jaywalking, he said he believed not. "Take Tokyo," he said. "There less jaywalking there than in New York probably because of the risk involved. The driving tends to be headlong. The wal ker learns that to survive he has to behave. The auto has the right of way. The driver has the advantage, and you're just not wise to walk out in front of a car. "You should see the roads leading to the horserace track. It's considered bad luck for a horseplayer to be passed by an other car on the way to the track and it's good luck to pass anoth er. The roads, through residen tial areas, become racetracks themselves. Let the walker be ware." This, however, Is not the an swer for New York. We're going to educate ourselves. May take a generation or so, but we'll do it. TV Censors Change Zsa Zsars Gown Hollywood (ID Jittery tele vision censors Tuesday night or dered a last minute remodeling of a $6,000, flesh-colored chiffon dress blonde Zsa Zsa Gabor plan ned to wear on George Gobel's coast to coast program. The fiery Zsa Zsa objected but submitted as busy seamstres ses sewed a hip-to-toe slit so that it was discreet knee-to-toe opening and added a ruffle to de-emphasize the actress' decol letage. "It is a beautiful gown," Zsa Zsa pouted in the wings of the NBC television stage. "I think it's a very ladylike gown and it's just perfect for a television appearance." Censor John Bushnell didn't agree. He took one look In sn on-camera test before, going on the air and decided that the near to nothing gown with Zsa Z3a in it was too much for the ra tion's living rooms.
