department president, was on
hand to cut the ribbons for the
formal opening Monday after
noon, o
The bazaar was held Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday with
Mrs. Maxine Bigalow, depart
ment hospital director, in charge
of the undertaking. .
"Gifts are donated by the
American Legion units through
out the state and the department
purchases the balance," Mrs.
Bigalow states. "Members may
choose gifts for their families
free of charge. Gifts are then
gift wrapped and mailed by the
volunteers on this project.
Special services announces the
schedule of the Christmas cele

Christmas roundup, with ac
cordion music by the Muzzioli
orchestra.
Miss Caroline Vandersteen, of
Medford. was the guest soloist
at the Thanksgiving services, at
which Chaplain Perry M. John
son officiated. Mrs. James Cech
was at the organ, and the Camp
White orchestra provided special
music for the occasion.
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. Hansen, who heads
the garden club, affiliated with
the Oregon Federation of Garden
clubs, announces that this group
will be on hand Dec. 10, 11 and
12, to assist the decorating com
mittee in preparing for the holi
day drSs at Camp White.
The garden club here is work
ing on sycamore seed tassles,
gilded and silvered for tree orna
ments, in cooperation with Mrs.
Olive Floyd, federation presi
dent, and Mrs. J. D. 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."

Woman Held Prisoner for
Eight Years by Daughter
Found in Chicago Home

building with no light or heat
and little food, a probate court
hearing has revealed.

widow of a Chicago grain brok
er, weighed only 65 pounds when
police broke into the building
and rescued hei She said she
had only a few sips of milk for
five days and begged police for
food.
Mrs. Rice charged her daugh
ter held her "virtually a pris
oner" for about eight years.
"I've been praying for a year
that somebody would rescue
me," she told authorities.
The bizarre case came to light
Monday when Probate Judge
Robert J. Dunne a pointed a con
servator for the estates of Mrs.
Rice and her daughter, Dorothy,
60.
Capt. Fremont Nester of sub
urban Oak Park police said
authorities were summoned by
neighbors to the Rice apartment
building across the street from
the exclusive Oak Park club
Nov. 22.
The neighbors said they heard
Dorothy shouting incoherently
from a balcony of the junk
strewn apartment.
Authorities forced their way
past Dorothy and found the bed
ridden Mrs. Rice and her other
spinster daughter, Marian, 53,
lying dead in bed beside her.
Nester said Marian, who had
suffered from epilepsy, appar
ently died of malnutrition and
natural causes.

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."
