From Camp White

By SID HOLLINGS WORTH
Twenty-seven awards were
presented by Manager Henry
C. Herzog and Chief Librarian
Enid Holmes to members of
the Readers and Writers club
last Tuesday - the result of
participation in the annual
Hospitalized Veterans Writers
project, together with a local
contest sponsored by the
American Legion auxiliary.
Money awards to three of
the members, James Gillan,
former editor of Dominews,
Earl J. Sweeney and Walter
Grow, could not be delivered
in person due to their absence
at the present lime.
Gillan and Sweeney each
received five awards in the
HVWP, and Walter Town
send, three, with the largest
money prizes. Townsend also
won in the prose and poetry
contests of the Legion auxil
iary. Edward Robinson and
Charles Reynolds also won
prose awards in this contest.
Book awards were won by
Charles M. Reynolds, David
Frisch, Douglas E. Brown,
Charles R. West, Ernest C.
Fairchild, Edward L. Robin
son, James W. Edwards, Mi
chael Dillon and William
Ness.
Dominews, the member pub
lication, received an honorary
award, a subscription to Arm
ed Forces Writer magazine
and membership in the AFW
league. The American Legion
auxiliary furnished refresh
ments for the occasion.
More than 9,000 handicap
ped men and women are on
VA employment rolls at the
present time, says a statement
published recently.
"Of every 18 fulltime em
ployees, one of them is physi
cally handicapped." the VA
reports, adding, "among the
disabilities which have not
proved a bar to good job per
formance are arrested tuber
culosis, blindness, deafness,
various amputations and cer
la' ' heart conditions."
Through the efforts made
by John W. Sinders, person
nel officer, this VA installa
tion is one which has been
specially recognized in the
program for hiring the physi
cally handicapped.
" With the increase in the
percentage of handicapped
people employed, there has
been a decline in the total
employment figures, Sinders
notes.
H. M. Neely, recently nam
ed supervisory gardener, is
getting his landscaping pro
gram under way with a crew
of about 25 from the station
assigned to this special ac
tivity. In addition to the attention
being given to lawns, a new
decorative treatment is being
projected. A rock crypt is
being planned in addition to
further cultivation at the
cemetery.
About a dozen small plots
have been assigned to garden
club members in connection
with their gardening program.
The outstanding member gar
den for years is the one de
veloped by Walter Odegard.
Others are found adjoining
buildings and in front of the
administration building.
From 75 to 100 men have
been assigned to this outside
work, most of them doing
maintenance jobs.
The domiciliary office is
working under pressure at
this time with the relatively
large turnover of men.
There were 137 new men
admitted in May. During the
first 20 days of June, 69 came
in and 107 went out. General
ly, arrivals and departures
equalize the number assigned
to membership, numbering
874 in the domiciliary as of
June 15.
This turnover places an
extra load on the baggage
room which is run by Carl
Einkopf, of Medford, whose
efficiency at this job results
from hotel experience.
Donald P. Davis and Henry
Maier are helping out in the
rush.
Installation of a new and
Improved x-ray unit In the
medical wing of the domicil
iary will be completed this
week. Numerous advantages
will be obtained from the new
equipment, among them the
factor of reduction of radio
activity by from 20 to 30 per
cent. This is gained by a
quicker flash in the exposure.
Greater precision in pene
tration is likewise gained and
areas reached which were not
visible in plates from the old
machine. This is obtained by
a spot film arrangement, it
was explained.
Conveniences for the pa
tient are also provided by the
improved mechanism. X-ray
pictures can now be taken
from either direction at any
angle, and by means of a
movable crane arrangement,
patients will not have to be
moved from their position
when wheeled into the labora
tory. Dr. A. S. Anderson, chief
medical officer, is highly
pleased with this additional
aid to diagnosis and treatment
of the type of cases handled
here. At present, much of the
x-ray work has to be sent outside.
The Evergreen bus service
is making a number of radi
cal changes in line with other
local bus operations, faced
with discontinuance due to
loss of patronage.
The Ashland route will be
covered by two new "midget"
cars, one an express and the
other making stops at Phoenix
and Talent.
Success of the small car
service on the Jacksonville,
Central Point and intra-city
run justifies this move, ac
cording to Larry Pilcher,
operator of the line. These
new small cars use only a
fifth of the fuel needed in the
large busses. The new cars
will operate with women
drivers and will start July 1,
it was announced.
The only Evergreen regular
bus to be operated in the
future will be the one on the
White City-Eagle Point run.
Plans are being considered to
change the schedule for con
venience of domiciliary pa
trons in the case of the bus
leaving Medford at 1:15 p.m.
which would leave White City
at 2:30 p.m. instead of 1:40
p.m.
