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

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.
