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.

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.

Tribune Syndicitt, 1960)
