psychologist, who is scheduled
to be named in the near fu
ture. Since the first of this year,
the domiciliary proper has
been reorganized with the re
quirement of a full day of ac
tivity for most of the men,
with due consideration to
physical limitations.
The atmosphere of a school,
with members attending
classes, has replaced that of
a "rest home." Regular hours
at library, outside games and
interests such as gardening,
and work in the shop at man
ual arts, are some of the in
terests that are now control
led rather than haphazard.
The entire program is co
ordinated with the work of
the volunteers in looking af
ter the needs of the more dis
abled and in providing regu
lar entertainment in the eve
nings at the theatre.
Visit Domiciliary
Congressman Charles O.
Porter, accompanied by Eu
gene Orr, executive commit
tee member, national rehabili
tation commission, of the
American Legion, visited the
domiciliary during his recent
tour of the district, and was
given a briefing concerning
the new developments,
Present interest centers on
working out a better under
standing in the surrounding
communities of the real pur
pose of the domiciliary as an
integral part of the civic life
of the Rogue valley as well as
the state and nation.
This point was emphasized
at a recent "seminar" of dom
iciliary officials and person
nel when Dr. Arthur Kreis-
man, professor of humanities
at SOC, offered a text on the
problems of the aging and
how to deal with them in a
way that will keep up their
interest in life.
The aging problem is one
that has engaged the attention
of Herzog, in view of the fact
that the largest percentage of
men who are permanent resi
dents of the domiciliary are
well past 50.
At the conclusion of the
meeting, Dr. Kreisman sug
gested a liaison of attention
to educational benefits
through the facilities of the
Cub Scouts
Cub Scout Pack 8
At least 105 persons attend
ed a recent meting of the
Jackson School Cub Scouts,

The flag ceremony was pre

Rosebcrry of the First Meth
odist church.

nearby Ashland college, with
its array of teachers in many
neias.
A reciprocal arrangement
is being considered whereby
the domiciliary may benefit
by this added impetus to cul
tural interests and the school
in turn receive occasional en
lightenment through such
sociological findings as have
been obtained by Veteran?
Administration specialists, in
cluding the medical staff.
"We have to make allowan
ces constantly for aging peo
ple, exercising patience, toler
ance and understanding," Dr,
Kreisman declared in his talk.
Underestimate
"One trouble today is the
fact that we underestimate
the mental powers of the ag
ing," he said. "Some of the
most fruitful products come
from the minds of older peo
ple.
Among other faculties, he
stressed, is that of judgment,
which tends to improve with
age.
"We do not make enough
demands upon the aging," he
continued, deploring the atti
tude of younger people of re
garding them as out of date.
"We have to change our
minds about our elders, bear
ing In mind that we, too, will
grow old. We have to consid
er age as a normal process
and accept it as a religious
philosophic problem."
Placed on Living
Emphasis should be placed
on living with a purpose.
"What do you live for?"
should be the outlook, rather
than acceptance of age as a
time to withdraw from life
with nothing to keep up the
interest in living.
Dr. Kreisman then turned
to the immediate problem of
a regimen of mental hygiene
as paramount in any program
of dealing with groups such
as those found In the VA dom
iciliates. "If the mental hygiene is
bad, the program itself, no
matter hwo good it may ap
pear, will also be bad.
"It is necessary constantly
to examine the program to
make it conform with present
needs. The overloading of the
sensory approach such as that
provided by modern facilities
of information and entertain
ment may produce the type of
Irritability which it is hoped
to avoid," he said.
Undertakes Task
John C. Glenn, the new
domiciliary officer, has under
taken the difficult task of ad
justment of the "housekeep
ing ' and detail assignment
program to meet the new hori
zon of interests and advan
times. The thousand bed domicil
iary proper has been broken
into five sections, numbered
from one to five. The old sec
tion one which carried the
major load of more than 500
beds at one time, has become
sections two and three. The
new section one is near the
infirmary and will be the re
ceiving section.
The older and more dis
abled veterans are in sections
four and five, behind the main
buildings. This was section A,
The old domiciliary prac
tice of an activity control of
fice for assignment to details,
which was something like a
"hiring hall" has been abol
ished, and the men are given
assignments by the planning
board, subject to review as oc
casion demands.
The new receiving section,
and plans for handling the
new members, now arriving
at a rapid ate, are being de
veloped at this time. In ad'
dition to Indoctrination in the
general scope of the domicil
iary, some effort will be made
at this sialic to develop a new
outlook for men coming to
live at the While City home.
Votorans Organizations
There are two veterans or
gnnizations established
at Camp White, Post 6412 of
the VFW, and Barracks 14,
of WW I veterans. In addition
a number of members' clubs
are now sponsored by an ex
pert either from civil service
or the volunteers.
Many disabled veterans
select Camp White as a place
to live because it is near so
many good places to fish. The
fishing club, therefore, is one
of the most popular. Another
well organized group is the
Garden club, sponsored by the
Oregon Federation of Garden
Clubs ladies.
The Bridge club, oldest of
them all, meets every Friday
evening. Writers gather each
week under supervision of
F.nid Holmes, chief librarian.
An ever increasing number
belong to the Fifty Plus club.
Gem and stamp collectors
each have club groups and
meetings.
No one can deny that pro
gress is being made toward at
taining a smoothly running
unit in the VA system. The ef
fect of drastic changes, all at
once, is wearing off. and
Camp While today is becom
ing a hive of constructive ac
tivity. ,

Channel to Sea
Said Necessary
Vancouver, Wash. - (UPD -A
40-foot channel in the Col
umbia river from Portland to
the sea ij a must in the very
near future, ex-Oregon Gov.
Elmo Smith, Republican can
didate for U.S. Senator from
Oregon, told the World Trade
Hill banquet at tne Royal
Oaki Country club here in
day night.
Smnii said the basic indus
trial development Irom Astor
ia to Pasco will depend on the
use of a great Columbia river
seaway lor low cost water
transportation. Processors of
raw ores, chemical supplies
and other manufacturing lines
are prepared to take advan
tage ot Oregon's abundant
low cost hyaro-electric power,
he said, wnen plant sites can
be reached by sea.
Smith said the Port of Port
land today is the largest ton
nage port for dry cargo on
the Pacific coast. He said that
in five years the increasing
size of vessels would indicate
that only about 65 per cent
of the ocean-going cargo car
riers will be able to reach
Portland terminals through
the present 35-foot channel.
And he added, if Portland is
to keep its tonnage lead, the
Columbia river channel must
be deepened.
