3! FRIDAY! SATURDAY! MOW DAY! Pickin' Pears MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Ik By SID HOLLINGSWORTH A real treat is in store for the literary lights of Camp White through the scheduled visit and talk by Angus Bow mer, of Southern Oregon col lege. He plans to speak before the Writers' club Tuesday afternoon, May 26, at 4 p.m. It was Angus Bowmer's idea, as well as his effort, which has made possible the 'success of the Shakespearean Festival, held each summer at Ashland during August. His ambition was to com plete the entire repertoire of plays and this has been ac complished. Now, there is a new Shakes pearean theater, more sub stantial, with more commodi ous seating arrangements. This - is the year of the Oregon Cen tennial and with the expected increase in visitors, it is log ical to assume that many will stop over for the four plays and a centennial masque to be presented. There is further signifi cance here to the visit. of Bow mer, who likewise teaches at the college. Southern Oregon college has aided the program at the domicilary in a number of ways and on numerous oc casions. Students have presented re citals in the theater and SOC teams appear regularly at c Memorial Field. . Dr. Arthur Kreisman, of the department of humanities, which includes English litera ture, was one of the first to recognize the struggle being made here to gain a foothold in the arts. . 1 1 He appeared bef re the so ciety of artists meeting here to present his thesis concern choice between old and new rates. Under the proposed gradu ated scale, payments would be keyed in the future to both the amount of other income and the number of depend ents and increases are "pro posed in income limitations as well as maximum rates of pension. Mr. Whittier praised the co operative attitude of major veteran organizations which were consulted prior to sub mission of the proposed bill. He also had high praise for all within the VA who worked long and hard readying the bill for congress. Thirteen antique models of automobiles dating back to 1915, drove into the parking area Sunday morning as the first stop in a tour of the val ley made by members of the Old Timers club, which has ,a collection of 50 varieties, none more recent than 1931. About 50 home members were on hand to greet them. Names -xlike .Nash, Essex, Dort, Cord and Hupmobile, no longer on the road, were vis ible evidence of automotive history. Three Model T Fords, an old Buick and a 1922 Stud ebaker were included. Lowell Reavis, vice president of the .'club, headed the party. Entertainment by a tiny class from the Thurston Dance Studio was sponsored jointly Friday night by the auxiliaries of the American Legion, department of Ore gon, VFW Post 1833 and Bar racks 14 and the Medford auxiliary of the Veterans of WW I. The Rogue River Rebels concluded the performance V? u "''with band numbers. Refresh 7 t. ?. , . . s. "i ments were served xaix 10 xne doctors during a seminar on geriatrics, the sci ence of dealing with old age. Dr. Kreisman and Dr. Byrns of the same department at the college have addressed the writers recently, givingj Bug&EBiiuu& wiin respeci lo form and style in prose as well as poetry. Three other SOC professors have contributed valuable in- formation to the station in the ; relationship of music, philoso phy and physical education to the needs of veteran domicili ary members in the cultiva tion of Interests. In view of the fact that con siderable misunderstanding has arisen in veteran circles concerning a bill introduced in congress last month, which makes a number of fundamen tal changes in the pension law, a summary of the need and circumstances which prompted this proposed legis . lation has been made avail able for the information of domiciliary members who would be affected if the bill becomes law next July. The report reads: A bill to modernize the vet erans pension structure - fea turing a "graduated scale" of payments keyed to individual needs - was submitted to con gress by the administrator. In -his budget message earl ier this year, the President re ported he had asked Mr. Whit tier "to present to the con gress legislation both to pro vide more equitable treatment of needy veterans and to mo dernize the veterans pension program in the light of social developments and changes." . Under the proposed bill, 55 per cent of the 1,223,000 vet erans, widows and children now on ' VA : pension drolls ; ' would receive increased pen sions. In the long run, how ever, it is expected that the modernized pension structure would involve annual pension outlays substantially below those under present statutes. A "savings provision" in the measure would insure that no beneficiary now on the VA rolls would be cut off, and, in addition, would give these beneficiaries their iinrtlWlm-'f'iilllTltoltWfiin,i m Stale Warns of Poison in Clams Salem The state board of health has issued a warning against eating marine mus sels or uncleaned clams tak en from Oregon coastal waters this spring and .summer. "Oregon clams are still de- licious, but it is unsafe to eat any portion of the mussels or the digestive organs of clams this time of year because .they may contain a strong alkaloid poison, similar to strychnine," according to Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state health officer. The poison results from the mussels or clams feeding on a tiny organism of the plank ton family, which occasionally are washed in by the' ocean. "R eputable commercial packers are aware of the dan ger and do not permit any of the harmful sea food to enter the open market," Dr. Erick son said. Sale and distribu tion of marine musslls and uncleaned clams is prohibited by state board of health regu lations between May 1 and October 31. Individual digging clams during the danger period were urged to remove all black portions before eating. White meat and muscular tissues of the clams do not contain the poison. Dr. Erickson emphasized that the black portions should be destroyed completely and should never be fed to ani mals or domestic fowl, which also are susceptible to the poison.
