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.

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.

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.
