0 G SUNDAY. AUGUST 7. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. Teachers Trained To Aid High School Teachers in Rooms Eugene-Teachers are being able to support the program. trained at the University of Oregon to go into high schools and aid local teachers better science instruction in their class rooms. The teacher-training pro gram, sponsored by the Na tional Science Foundation, gives special instruction to a picked group of teachers, who are told how they can fully exploit equipment, back ground and local materials for science teaching. Eighteen high school teach ers are being trained at Ore gon this summer. They are taking courses in such fields as physics, biology, chemistry and geology. Their inside work completed, they will leave for schools all over Ore gon, Washington, Idaho, Mon tana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and parts of California. Week in One School The demonstrators are pre pared to stay a week in one school, and during that time, give three or four demonstra tions daily. Edwin G. Ebbighausen, Ore gon physics professor and di rector of the traveling dem onstrator program, reported that the purpose of the class room visits is "to enable high school teachers to make full use of demonstrations and la boratory work, to let them know just what they can do in this field, which is not as limited as many people may think." The summer-training pro gram lasts 12 weeks, and the teachers will complete their school visits some time in May. They are encouraged to talk with service clubs in the area and give taxpayers an idea of the kind of work they are doing. Second Year Program This is the second year of the teacher-demonstrator pro gram, which Ebbighausen would like to see extended. "The kind of impact we want to make cannot be ac complished in two years." "The National Science Foun dation, however, has had a budget cut and is no longer We hope that eventually the states will take over this type of project or possibly local school systems," the professor commented. First Year Success He described the program's first year as a "success" and noted student reaction was favorable. Other centers running sim ilar plans are Oklahoma State, Michigan State and the Insti tute pf Nuclear Science, Oak ridge, Tenn. This will also be the last year of operation for the Oklahoma and Michigan programs. The present position in sci ence laboratories? Ebbighau sen puts it this way. "It is no secret most high schools are woefully deficient in labo ratory equipment. It costs money!" Special Swimming Program Planned A special swimming pro gram for adults and children will be offered at the Jackson park swimming pool starting tomorrow and continuing through Aug. 19. Medford Parks and Recre ation Director Robert Ha worlh said the course is be ing promoted by the Red Cross. Its purpose is to teach parents how to teach their children how to swim. The course is sponsored by the city. The course will be taught from 6 to 7 p.m. each day. The first week of instruction will include the fundament als of swimming; the second week will be devoted to teach ing parents how to teach their children to swim; and the third week will include both the children and parents. Haworth said registration started this week end at the pool. A fee of $2 is being charged adults. There is no charge to children. Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By WALTER TOWNSEND Max L. Wolfe, 63, with a crew cut and snow - white hair, is broad and powerful. He is single, and in the past 40 years has been a machinist, boiler maker, marine electri cian. Now he is a retired veteran at the domiciliary. His military service was done in the U. S. Navy for four years during the time of World War I. He -has seen much of the world in both Europe and America. For a long time at White City he served the VFW post as commander. By nature Max Wolfe is youthful and strong in out look. About 12 months ago he began contributing to the financial support of an or phan girl in Korea. This, he found, gave him much joy. On April 1, 1960, he legally adopted HieMie Anne. She is 16, and lives in Seoul, Korea, a large city, and boards with her sister, whose husband is a famous band leader in that country. She is now the daughter of Mr. Wolfe, and stays at Chang Kyo apartment, and has many cultural advantages in her elegant surroundings. The name of HieMie Anne has been changed to an Amer ican name. Her new name is Elizabeth Joanne Wolfe. When she is 18, only two years to wait, Max Wolfe in tends to bring her to Amer ica. Her letters show she is anxiout to come. He has assumed all her ob ligations, and finds it a won derful experience to keep her in elegant surroundings, where she lives and goes to school. Wolfe has found a new and lasting happiness in provid ing for her education in Ko rea. She takes violin and sing ing. Also piano and dancing. As a musiciap, she is already showing talent. Especially she has become an outstand ing performer on the violin, and is herself proud of her ability on that instrument. Her frequent letters to Max Wolfe reveal her problems and accomplishments. Max too, is proud of her. Plan Tape Recording She is planning to send to her American father, a tape recording of violin solos she plays. She sends him pictures of herself. These pictures show her to be something on the order of a Korean beauty. She puts great feeling in her letters, and is overjoyed to hear from him. Recently she wrote, "My dearest father, Today I received your so kind and warm letters dated 16th and 17th, June. I sobbed with my immeasurable excitement and pleasure and my sister did so, too." Max Wolfe claims that let ter alone, is worth all the money she has cost. him. "It costs a lot of money," Max said, "to raise a daughter." But he is happy to do it, just the same, he indicated, show ing her picture. Black, Beautiful Hair Her hair is black and beau tiful and reaches halfway down her form. Max wrote and urged her to brush it one hundred strokes a day, which she does, to please her father in America. For the past five years, Mr. Wolfe has swept the stair wells in Section Two. It used to be, a lonely job, but he is happy to do it now. He feels that he does it for his daugh ter, Betty. Max believes that all there is in this world that's worth living for, is human kindness and love. Betty believes the same.

Snowy Egret Almost Lost To 'Fashion'-But Comes Back The lady set the new crea tion on her head. The snow white plumes danced and nodded, giving to the hat a chic liveliness impossible without the shining feathers. She bought the hat, her friends approved with envi ous eyes and demanded the same for their own hats. The fashion spread. No well-dressed lady would appear on the street without "aigrettes" on her headgear. But few women wondered where the plumes came from. In dismal swamps far away from the bright lights and the fashionable shops the real arama or me plumes was being enacted. In swamps and marshes throughout the South men armed with clubs, nets and guns slogged through the dark swamp water to kill the birds with the white feathers. Golden Slippers The snowy egret, the bird that wears the golden slip pers, like many of the heron family wears the long white plumes only during the nest ing season. When the parent birds were killed, the eggs or the young in the nest also died. Many of the parent birds were actually clubbed to death while they were incu bating their eggs. This double and triple killing hurried the final end. The birds became increas ingly harder to locate. The price of the feathers went up; more men took the field combing every swamp and bayou. No territory was im mune; every bird sanctuary was violated. Every rule of sportsmanship and decency was forgotten. The familiar cry, "This is my livlihood," was supposed to justify the killing. The inevitable end came even closer. Then in 1913 a tiny voice that had been crying hope lessly for so long was finally heard. The migratory bird act was passed making it unlaw ful to kill the snowy egret, the bird that wears "the golden slippers." Large Colonies The egret, a beautiful while bird, had lived for ages in the deep South, nesting in large colonies along with night herons and the American egret, a taller bird, also white but without the yellow feet. The nests, crude affairs of sticks loosely put together, are placed in low trees. The egrets select a site for their rookery with considerable care, preferring a swamp or even a small pond where wa ter and low, soft ground pro vide a cushion of safety. Egrets have been raised in India and the plumes care fully harvested as a crop. The long, lacy plumes are actually attached to the bird s shoul ders. The. real tail is short the webs of the feet are dis united. The head while the bird is in flight is carried in an S curve. The little snowy egret is a crazy-acting bird fluttering and flying up from the marsh or from the water as if frightened at something below it. Under rigid protec tion the egrets have staged a remarkable comeback, now becoming almost plentiful in some parts of its range The snowy egrets legs are dark colored, brownish or dark greenish, while the feet are a bright yellow, which accounts for its popular name "the bird that wears the gold en slippers.
