MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. SUNDAY. AUGUST 21. 1960 ' r ft 5w 4 STARTS EXHIBIT Dave Hagerbaumer starts the mounting of a Sandhill crane for the diorama, "Nesting Birds of Harney County," which was shown at tion in Portland last year. Harney county, is an example of the type of display which could be placed in a museum of natural history. The bird's real body is in front of Hagerbaumer's dog, Prince, while the excelsior, string and wire mounting sits next to the bird kin. . , 4 m t PAINTS CASE Starting with an empty plywood exhibit case 9V4 feet wide, 8 feet deep and 5 feet high), Hager baumer begins to paint in the background for the exhibit. A domed sky was plastered. Pictured in the background ere the Steens mountains, almost snow covered. Hagerbaumer then painted a meadow and marsh extending from the moun tains and to realistically blend in with the marsh grasses and cattails which were later placed in the case. . ii mm lilt fm iff, .v Js ; Ml t: V' v 4 li - tii mm iiiwi i.fiti l.t i'im.Vi--lJ EXPERIMENTS PROGRESS Each now plnnt that had to be included in the marsh scene was somewhat of a challenge, Hagerbaumer said. After finding that willow leaves cannot be preserved In plastic, Hagerbaumer here experiments with leaves cut from white paper which were later painted to duplicate willow leaves. Painted cattails hang down from the edge of a board by pins to dry. In the background are tnmples of mud which are being tested for cracking. I 1 ! ' V i ' 7 PLAK.S MARSH With all the cattails dried and painted, Hagerbaumer shows how to "plant a marsh." A floor of 4 lnch plywood was cut to the exact dimensions of the floor of the case. It was then re-cut Into nine different pnrts for easier handling. Each of these sections was then covered with excelsior and metal lath with a further covering of "mud" made from linoleum paste and vcrmlculite (to prevent cracking). Finally the marsh growth was firmly embedded in the paste and lath. the Oregon Centennial Exposi The exhibit, commissioned by .1 Natural History Display To Have Wildlife Scenes By JIM BOYD Mail Tribunt Staff Writer Several Rogue Valley or ganizations will soon find themselves with the opportu nity to build educational cen ters which could be tourist attractions, as is the Oregon Shakespearean Festival. One man has already sug' gested what one of these at tractions might be. He is Dave Hagerbaumer, Ashland. Hagerbuamer, an artist and former museum' curator, has long been interested in the establishment of a museum of natural history in southern Oregon. He hopes, either through his individual effort or In co operation with an organiza tion, to carry out his plans. But no matter, if it is Hag erbaumer or someone else, several opportunities for this type of effort are now devel oping and will mature in a very few years. One of the principal oppor tunities for the establishment of this or a similar attraction will be found at the Lithia park in Ashland.. Possible Museum Site According to Eldon Scrip- ter, chairman of the park committee in Ashland, the lease on the auto court at the upper end of Lithia park probably will be terminated at the end of four years. If this is done, then the park will have a site to de velop. This could be a mu seum, an extension of the park's nature trail program, or any number of other things. Still another opportunity for the development of this sort of educational activity might be found In Medford's expanded park program. Al though the basic unit of the Medford park system may be the school park, there is still opportunity to plan fo(r other parK developments. If the park department does some dickering, it may be able to obtain an area of land east of Bear creek and north of the present Haw thorne park site which could be developed. By planning now, some sort of educational activity, for ex ample, The Rogue Valley Art association, which is consid ering a permanent gallery lo cation, might be cooperative ly incorporated into plans for the area. Interested in Museum Still another opportunity is Southern Oregon college. Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson, president of the college, has Indicated that the college is interested In developing museum facili ties In the future. In each of these cases, and probably several others which are unknown, the great stumbling block to the de velopment of any sort of ed ucational, yet tourist attrac- ing enterprise, is the lack of money. Careful long range plan ning could perhaps eliminate much of the problem, how ever. Hagerbaumer Is still a man with an idea that he feels is worth seven years of hard work to complete. Working on his own, he thinks that he might be able to open a small museum in that time. Of course, museum work and related subjects have oc cupied a major part of Ha gerbaumer's life. He was a preparator at the Nevada State museum and the assist ant curator of ornithology at the Santa Barbara museum. Oregon Wildlife He visualizes the museum as having a single circular display room at first. The displays will depict scenes of Oregon wildlife from the coast to the high mountains. Hagerbaumer originated the idea when he came to the valley three years ago. After purchasing a taxidermy shop In Ashland, ho found that he could make as much selling his original watcrcolors through his New York agent as he could from his taxider my shop. His paintings, which he now turns out in a small gal lery in Ashland, sell for prices ranging from $25 to several hundred dollars. HEMINGWAY GRANDFATHER "Miami - IUPD - Novelist Er nest Hemingway became a grandfather Friday. His son Gregory, a medical student at the University of Miami, is the father of a baby girl, Alice, born Friday at South Miami hospital. Gregory is one of three sons of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist. COMPLETED FOR TRAVEL With all the birds and vegetation in place, Hagerbaumer checks the tie-downs on the animals for the move to Portland. Prince, in the foregorund, THE EXHIBIT COMPLETED This is the "Nesting Birds of Harney County" group in place at the Centennial. About three months, not including preliminary planning, was spent in the actual construction. After the showing in ft. -A leMWLa ARRIVES IN PORTLAND Hagc baumer supervises the movement of the case by two fork lifts to the Harney county exhibit section at the Oregon Centennial Exposition in Port land. Only a few finishing touches were then left to complete the display. The case weighs about a ton. Portland Defense Setup Commended Portland - IUPD - Lewis E. Travers, a civil defense ad visor to NATO, Friday told Mayor Terry D. Schrunk that the civil defense control organization in the Portland area is superior to England. Travers said attention in England has been concen trated, on rescue training rather than on shelters. He told Mayor Schrunk Portland has "a wonderful control cen ter." . Travers, who is also rescue training consultant for the United Kingdom, provided much of the original tech nical advice on which United States civil defense is based. His English experiences dur ing World War II contributed much of the Information on which the Portland center is based. Drowned Man's Body Recovered Tlllamook-flJPD-The body of Raymond Davis of Garibaldi, drowned when his boat over turned in Garibaldi Bay July 25, was found on the west side of Kinchelo Point Friday by Robert Van Der Hoeff, skip per of the fishing boat "Basil Boy." Davis' wife was picked up when their boat flipped over In July. She was in a state of shock at the time when she told rescuers her husband had also been in the boat. The boat was towed to shore. t Tt mit Of ii(U.g Portland Grocer Pistol Whipped Portland - IUPD - A Port land grocer who refused to turn over cash to two holdup men received severe head in juries from a pistol whipping Friday. James Treece was hos pitalized after one gunman struck his head several times with a pistol when Treece re fused to empty the cash regis ter at his Mississippi grocery. The men fled with about ?150. Treece had been successful one month earlier when he tried a similar maneuver on two holdup men. At that time the gunmen, startled by his refusal, turned and fled.

During the meeting build ing plans for the new wing were reviewed and a report was given by Mrs. Guches, chairman of the decorating committee, outlining the col or schemes to be followed. Pillow Television Building chairman George Flanagan introduced a new concept of patient communi cations to be installed at Rogue Valley hospital. Called "Pillow TV," it will enable patients to operate radio and television, and to contact the nurse by pressing a button on their individual master control and speaker system. Patients will have complete control over picture, volume, stations and channels of com bined radio-television set to be mounted high on the wall.

The new- communication system will be adopted not only to benefit patients, but to save labor costs by allow ing patients to , serve them selves electronically, it was pointed out. Another innovation at the hospital will be a radio-pager unit called a "handie-talkie," which will provide direct, Immediate contact with key personnel. Clipped to the user's pocket or belt, it will receive messages from the switchboard operator and is expected to save considerable time and walking, cut down on noise, and provide faster attention in serving patients.
