and Frank Maynard of San
Hnfel. assistant to Pfaffenber
ger. Roderick holds training
class for 4-H mcmDers every
two weeks at Bigham hall In
Medford. A film showing
blind persons and their dogs
in training at San Rafael was
shown at the Ruch meeting.
It is expected that a club
will be organized here, al
though puppies for training
will not be- available until
June. Mrs, Darrel Mitchell
will lead the club. Her 10-year-old
son Dean, as a mem
ber of the Siskiyou club, al
ready is training a golden re
triever, and another son, Dale,
12, gave basic training to a
dog last year which now is
owned by a blind Negro.
Sent To 4-H Home
Pfaffenberg explained that
ouide does are bred and tested
at the San Rafael Foundation,
and are distributed to 4-H
homes In western states at six
weeks of age. The youngsters
nrovlde food for the dogs ana
give them basic obedience
training IS minutes a day, for
a nine month period. The dogs
then are returned to San Ra
fael for five months of Inten
sive training in commands rel
ative to leading a blind person.
An additional one month
training period is given In the
company of their blind mas
ter. The dogs then are given
free to their new owners, Pfaf
fenberger said.
The foundation is operated
on donated funds, and most
vetlnarians and others con
nected with the work give
their services free of charge.
The need for a guide dog
center on the Pacific coast was
seen in 1942 when Letlerman's
hospital In San Francisco was
filled with war casualties,
many of whom would not see
again, Pfaffenberger related.
Six women donated $6,000 and
started the Institution. The
Seeing Eye Foundation in
New jersey and a few other
Institutions supply other areas
of the United States. It was
IB years ago that the establish
mcnt at Sari Rafael started
testing and building toward
the perfect guide dog puppy
The Siskiyou 4-H Guide Dog
club Is the only one of Its kind
In the county so far. Sixty-
three of the puppies have been
trained In Oregon homes In
recent years, and Portland's
first five puppies arrived for
training this month.

Fair Play
Poise, fair play, courage,
alertness, good sportsmanship
and good posture arc facets
of a good physical education

carry over Into adult activi

Four principal parts of the
physlclal education program
arc basic skills, rythms, re
lays and self-testing activities.
Examples of basic skills arc
ball handling, climbing, fall
ing, Jumping, running, walk
ing, skipping, sliding, stand
ing, and striking.
Rythms should begin In the
first grade and extend through
the grades. A good program
at a minimum should Include
singing, games, creative fund
mentals, marching, and folk
rythmic activities. Thcso ac
tivities, Mack said, greatly In
crease the learning of the
basic skills.

Applegate Valley-Acting as
if there was nothing to it and
with little fuss, Ruth Smith
fashioned a pale blue hat for
her daughter, Esther Smith
Kennedy, to wear for her
wedding. It all came about
when Esther telephoned her
mother in desperation, saying
she couldn't find a matching
hat anywhere.
"We will just make one,"
Ruth said most confidently.
From a blue scarf like the
one Esther had selected to
wear with her wedding suit,
Ruth, an accomplished seam
stress, fashioned the hat. She
said it was made largely of
loops which might have been
petals, and with a peek at a
little formal hat of by-gone
davs. the trick was done. And
all for literally a few cents
as compared to about 20
times the price as noted by
Ruth when she viewed simi
lar hats in a Salem store win
dow recently.
Speaking of little hats of
yester-year tucked away in
the closet, the Smith home
also is a source of unending
delight to teen-age girls of the
neighborhood who nave access
to pretty formals when the
occasion demands. The form
als were worn by the three
Smith girls, Jean, Sonjia, and
Esther during school days.
With a shortened hem and a
tuck or a bow here and there,
the local girls are ready for
any gala occasion.
For the sake of catching up
with events, Sonjia Swinney
is teaching at Eagle Point,
Jean is a senior at Southern
Oregon college and Esther is
a stenographer.
