MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE i the Winnemucca to the Sea highway, wherein inland areas all the way to the Nevada city seek a road out let to a seaport. He said he thought Coos Bay was possibly the right port, if an adequate east-west road tapped into it from Jack son and Josephine counties. Mrs. Harold Stemmler, Myrtle Point, who headed a delegation of Housewives for 42, took the floor to ask the Chamber to again endorse Highway 42 improvements, "as a Winnemucca to the Sea link," so her group could beard the Highway Commis sion in its den with the reso lution Aug. 1. Stop Feuding Up popped Coquille's May or George Burr. He said, once again, that its time for Coos county to stop feuding over where an east - west road should be built. He said it was time to pass a "final" resolution endorsing vi as "the" east-west route, through Coquille and Myrtle Point The meeting then resolved into 60-minutes of motions, substitute motions and amend ments to motions. Everyone sat around wait ing for Bay Area delegates to say something nasty about 42, but no one did In fact, Larry Willkie of Empire offered the eventual ly passed resolution "endors ing" 42 improvement as the logical east-west route. Said Silly Don Wemple of Powers was the only board member to disagree out loud. He said he thought it was silly for the county chamber to endorse one road to the exclusion of all others in the absence of cost - benefit information. He put his objections in the form of a motion but no second was heard. Everybody from South Coos county kept emphatical ly saying they couldn't under stand why the port commis sion wasn't foursquare for 42 because it would give the port its long-sought "east - west" highway to a hinterland. A port commissioner final ly rose to point out, again, that the Port Commission isn't against 42 improvement, "but in the absence of en gineering information back ing 42 as the logical east-west route, the commission hasn't felt itself able to back 42 to the exclusion of all other routes." The foursquare for 42 reso lution finally passed to a chorus of weak "ayes" and no "nays." Frohnmayer of Medford said the Jackson countians weren't here to pressure Coos county into talking routes. "We just want to say that our area needs an outlet to a sea port. It's your job to convince everyone that Coos Bay is the right outlet by getting roads to it, Date of Birth.

ILL. I Pickin' Pears By WILLIAM M. BLACK JR. Four thousands years of progress dating from the ear liest written history to today has brought men from .demon possession to a six-point re habilitation program. Some of the first written records deal with a problem that only to day is being solved. Epilepsy or seizure disability is no longer a hide-in-the dark word. Here at Camp White the truth of the above statement is weekly being proved as a special therapy group operat ed by social work service in conjunction with medical specialists. This group con sists of a continuously rotat ing membership and had a simple objective of six steps to rehabilitation. The first is control of the seizures by a faithful adher ence to a regularly prescribed course of medication, such as Dilantin. Secondly is the re sumption of full activity, such as self-care. Next the mem bers progress to a semi-arduous activity in a sheltered work routine. Fourthly, they go to a full time assignment which rebuilds physical strength and sharpens mental ability that has often been dulled by the seizures. The next step is from "sheltered" employment to full competi tive activity using old skills or new ones learned in voca tional training. The final move is to full and normal physical, emotional and social relationships. According to R. E. Kelley, as clinical social worker, these objectives are reached by ap proximately 16 men annually although facilities at Camp White provide for the opera tion of only the one group. What is being done at Camp White is duplicated many times over by other VA in stallations throughout the country. Every year thous ands of men are returning to useful and productive lives I Year Graduated I Years Attended including hobbies, clubs, .iiMH.

A statistical study, "A Study of Younger Members at VA Domiciliary, Camp White, Oregon." by Robert E. Kelley; chief, social work service, has been published in the Central Office Information Bulletin on social service work which was issued June 30. The paper dealt with rehabilitation of veterans between the ages of 25 and 45. Conclusions arrived at, during the study, showed that given opportunities for individual help and guidance nearly all were able to re assume responsible positions in full or part-time employ ment according to limitations of the physical disabilities, represented by the cases studied. Acting Manager Banks I. Paul announced the appoint ment of Willis Morrison as medical laboratory technician, replacing Ernest Hesser, who has joined the forest service. Morrison is being transferred from the Whipple, Ariz., VA center and will arrive at Camp White July 27. Lawhorne, nee Love, has found the way. Mrs. Jean Lawhorne of Ojai, Calif., con tacted her father, Arthur M. Love, by letter after 24 years ofneither knowing where the other one was. The last time they had seen each other was in 1934. Mrs. Lawhorne was born in Ashland and lived near Medford until her moth er and father separated. After Love's ex-wife remarried, he was never able to trace his daughter.

Passenger arrivals and de partures were down 15 per cent and freight, 21 per cent. Mail traffic, on the other hand, rose 5 per cent and air express shipments rose slight ly over 1 per cent. Conversely, June's landings and takeoffs and passenger and, freight traffic showed gains over the figures for May, while mail and air ex press were lower. The landings and takeoffs in June included Air Force, 47; Navy, 10; commercial car rier, 929; and civil, including official and private planes, 1,437. There were 2,488 civil flights involving local planes, for a total of 4,911. The air port collected $2,345.01 in May, 1957. A reunion is plan ned for the very near future. Miss Martha Stovall, chief librarian from Perry Point VA Hospital, Perry Point,, Md., was a visitor at Camp White while on her way to the American Library associa tion meeting in San Francisco.

Master Mariner Mart S. Hazen is leaving Camp White to live $n Portland. Hazen is 85 years old f and has 'more than 40 years of sailing and steamship experience as a first mate and captain. He also holds a master's license for the Columbia river and all its tributaries. Captain Hazen's most me morable experience was dur ing World War II when he outran a Japanese destroyer between Hong Kong and Sing apore. The chase lasted for 72 hours and Hazen drew full bridge duty for the entire trip. - Hazen was Commander of the WWI Veterans, Barrack's 14, for two terms. Sid Hollingsworth has gone on a 30-day furlough with an original destination of Fresno, Calif. Sid planned on spend ing several days visiting a former instructor, Dr. Marg aret Bailey, and other friends at Southern Oregon college. Camp White was host to one of Oregon's own top-flight bowlers, Stan Gifford. After a short introduction by Acting Manager Banks I. Paul, Gif ford demonstrated good bowl ing techniques and the "how to's" of knocking down splits to score spares. Tom Mooney, Camp White member, and Gifford played two exhibition matches. Gif ford has won two American Bowling Team titles and shares with Steve Nagy the distinction of being the only two men to score 300 while bowling under the lens of the TV camera. Gifford's next stop will be at the Seattle VAH. sflh-H POL E5 UtU .

Help us buy more! Give now! Is That So? Amman The group agreed on only one thing about the six creatures we had just seen vanishing over a low rocky crest about half a mile away. They weren't gazelles. I had been able to catch only the last of them in my glasses as they vanished over the skyline, and though I couldn't tell what they were, the others were positive in their opinions. One of them said they were tahrs, a type of small, beard less goat generally found in the eastern part of the Arab ian peninsula. Another said they were ibex.. He knew because of their light brown color and t-m-ra dark markings. Also, he had killed one once whose horns measured three feet along the curve. A third swore they were oryx. He could tell by the horns that were not curved as on an ibex. The argument was insolu ble, of course, and though I saw no horns myself, I am inclined to favor an addax rather than any of the oth ers. Both the addax and the oryx are antelopes that are found in Arabia. They are approximately the same size, standing about three feet at the shoulder. Both have long horns and both travel in small bands, rarely more than 20 in all. The oryx, however, is a whitish color, enough so from what I have heard and the skins I have seen for me to have picked them out against the drab, stony slope. In contrast, the addax is of a generally brownish-gray to reddish color that blends in nicely with his desert sur roundings. There is white on him, both on His face and hindquarters, but not enough to be of major significance at a distance to any but another addax. Furthermore, the addax is said to have a greater ability to go without water than oth er antelopes.

Are you giving? Do it today! MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist some accounts, their ability in this respect is enough to put a camel to shame. The Arabs say they travel over the deserts in the wake of thun der showers drinking the wat er left in rock crevice and eating the herbiage that springs up in their wake. Regardless of the truth of that, it is undoubtedly correct that the wildlife of the desert knows of water resources not known to man. In so vast and lightly populated a land mass as Arabia, anything else is un thinkable.
