2 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Oregon, Sunday, February 22. 1959 First Emergency Hospital Arrives At VA Domiciliary The first Civil Defense emer. geney ' hospital for southern Oregon arrived in the valley recently. "This is a complete 200 bed unit and will be stored in building 242 at the Veterans Administration D o m iciliary situated at Camp White," Henry C. Herzog, manager, said. j . - Herzog explained that the VA Domiciliary had agreed several months ago to accept one of the hospital units and should it be desired, two un its could be accommodated. The unit was shipped from Yakima, Wash., and weighs approximately 24,000 pounds. Included in Unit Included in the hospital unit is a 15 kilowatt gasoline generator, 1,500 gallon water . storage tank, a radiographic and fluoroscopic unit with processing machines, a 2Vi kilowatt gas generator for ac-ray equipment, field oper ating tables, and sterilizers, which are just a few of the approximately 292 line items which required 367 cases for packing and shipment. The Camp White Domicil iary manager explained that "while this area is not con sidered a primary target, it is in a near miss area in the event of an attack on Kings ley Air Force base in Klam ath Falls or as a receiving station for casualties in the event of an attack on central and northern Oregon and on northern California military installations. "In any of these instances the ability to set up and op erate the Civil Defense emer gency hospital units could prove to be invaluable in sav ing lives and alleviate suffer ing. Packed Storage The emergency - equipment will be stored in the packed condition as received; Herzog said, "but as previously agreed, in the event any of the Civil Defense medical units desire to drill in setting up the hospital unit, they may surely do so by securing the approval and coordination of Gen. Joseph H. Hicks, direc tor of Jackson County Civil Defense office." It will be necessary after the drill exercise the medical team must repack the hos pital and store it. "In considering the f a. c t that local hospitals are cap able of caring for a relatively small number of patients in the event of a major disaster or enemy attack, the 200 bed emergency hospital is most important when viewed in the light that it represents a most substantial increase in available hospital beds for emergency use," Herzog noted. STACK COTS - Employees at the Camp White Domiciliary are shown stacking cots of the 200-bed emergency hospital which recently arrived from Yakima, Wash. The complete unit weighed about 24,000 pounds.

M MEDFORD. OREGON Complete Recovery Expected for Heart Surgery Complete recovery is al most certain for a five-year- old girl who underwent open heart surgery recently in Port land, Dr. Albert Starr, Port land surgeon who performed the operation, told a Medford group recently. Residents of Jackson coun ty donated blood, which was flown to Portland for the op eration! Dr! Starr noted that the child had been underdevelop ed and in a weakened condi tion since birth. Several seri ous . attacks of pneumonia were almost fatal, he said, and the child's color was al most blue even during periods of complete rest. Through the crippled chil dren's division of the Oregon Seven Directors .. Named to Council Ashland - Seven new mem bers were elected to the board of directors of the Ashland Human Rights council at a combined study group and annual business meeting Feb. 13 at the Women's Civic club. Giles Green was elected for a one-year term and Ar thur Hamilton, Mrs. Sam Davis, Dr. Francis Kelly, Wayne LaTourette, Mrs. Charles Forrest and Carlton Abbott for two-year terms. Incumbent members are Chairman Fred Neal, Mrs. Arthur Kreisman, the Rev. Fred Plocher, Dr. Arthur Taylor and Mrs. Richard Westerfield. During the first year of the council's existence the group has set up a speakers bureau for organizations who wish a speaker on various subjects related to race relations; es tablished a monthly study group program; and placed a well-stocked display shelf in the public library, according to the chairman. Neal reported that there were no known race incidents in Ashland this past summer, whereas nine were reported the previous season. For the study program Dr. Kelly of Southern Oregon college gave a talk on the "Psychology of Prejudice." According to Dr. Kelly, in security is the basic cause of prejudice. Whether economic or emotional insecurity, it leaves individuals with the need for a scapegoat toward which to direct their hostil ity, he said. Prejudice is man ifested in four general ways; stereotyping is the judging of all people of a race or class by one member of that group; projection has us attributing to others the feelings that we have in ourselves; and ration alization is an excuse mechan ism, according to Dr. Kelly. medical school tests were completed which showed the absence of a partition be tween the two receiving chambers of the heart, Dr. Starr noted. Partition Made A partition was made out of sponge-like material after hospital authorities decided to operate. , Dr. Richard Sleeter, former Medford physician, assisted in the surgery. Immediately after the op eration, Dr. Starr said, a noted change occurred. The child's color changed from blue to normal, and a com plete recovery is expected.
