Serigraphy, a branch of the printing art, widely used today for creating unusual effects with cards, labels and signs, was dem onstrated and explained by War ren Holbrook, Crater High school art instructor, and Judi Davis, a senior at the school, before the Southern Oregon Society of Artists, meeting at Camp White Wednesday night. The method is known as the silk screen process and gained in popularity during the 1930's, with the introduction of suitable paints and other improvements. Bottles are now labeled by this process, it was explained. Martin J.

Fitzgerald of the Siskiyou clubs. Mart Hazen, commander of the Camp White barracks, WW I Veterans, is back from Portland where he went through a siege of Asian flu. This may be a good time for a ghost story. It comes from the Olsens, who left a lasting . im pression in the valley with their Enchanted Grotto near Eagle Point. In addition to being "rock hounds" the Olsens collected and exhibited fluorescent specimens, which light up when a special lamp is turned on them. On numerous occasions, the exhibit was brought to Camp White where it attracted considerable attention. They are now established at Knotts Berry Farm and Ghost Town in southern California with their Art Glow Studio. The place was started 16 years ago by the artist Paul Von Kleiben, Mrs. Olsen writes. "Here we sell luminous articles that glow in the dark from any source of light attraction, we have now added the lines of ultraviolet lights and, of course, the fluorescent rocks and other items, which we carried in the rock market." The tables were turned on Mrs. Olsen in the eerie atmosphere created, which must be more ghost like than the Enchanted Grotto. The incident brought back memories, hence this letter about the days in southern Oregon. "One day recently, I had turn ed out the lights to show folks how everything glows, when a voice spoke out of the dark: "'You are Doc's wife! I'd know that voice and those rocks anywhere.' "I turned up the lights at once, you can bet. It was one of the boys who was at Camp White when we put on programs years ago."

Playing Presley Record Costs Job Portland Mel Bailey, pro gram manager for Radio Station KEX, issued a statement today explaining the station's dismis sal of Disc Jockey Al Priddy fol lowing Priddy's use of Elvis Presley's "White Christmas" re cording on the air. Bailey said Priddy "ntention ally usurped" station policy in playing the record. Bailey said Priddy "intention reports, Mr. Priddy's action playing a highly controversial record was intentional and was not an inadvertent error in se lecting discs." The program manager de clared that Priddy "was quite aware that I had forbidden KEX disc jockeys to play PreSey's "White Christmas' because I felt that his treatment of the song is in extremely bad taste." But Bailey added, "It must be remembered that the basic issue is not the Presley 'White Christ mas' recording, but the fact that station policy was intentionally usurped."
