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,

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

News and Notes
From Camp White
despite what was once consid
ered a curse by the gods.
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. Love has been a
member at Camp White since

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

on a 30-day furlough with an

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

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. According to

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. (Released by McClure
