OHtGON 62Bji When enough of the house and yard chores were done Sunday that we didn't feci too guilty about leaving the rest undone, the two of us headed The Doll's nose toward the Applcgate. The Applegate is county, and besides Pappy meet the Ray Lampkins. It took a bit of hunting Upper Applcgate road right on it going up. The Lampkins. like a lot of other newcomers to southern Oregon, formerly lived in Los Angeles and bath worked for the MGM studio. Mr. L. is a devoted fisherman, and picked southern Oregon because of the fishing stories he heard about the area. (After beginning to doubt whether the fishing in the Rogue and However, the Lampkins Mr. L. doesn't catch as many fish as he thought he was going to. Perhaps no fisherman is ever satisfied. An important part of the Lampkin household are two enormous Weimaraner dogs. Mr. Lampkin owned the first registered Weimaraner brought to the West coast, and for a number of years raised prize-winning animals. He has a big box of ribbons and newspaper clippings and although Mrs. Lampkin protested that showing these was in the same category with bringing out pictures of one's grandchildren, they proved Interesting. Besides, as a newspaper reporter, we realize that clippings and purple and blue ribbons are good "evidence." 1 Pappy, only mildly interested In dogs, really sat up and took notice when he learned from Mrs. L. that her husband at one time drove racing cars. So, out came another batch of clippings and the two men settled down to talk about early-day racing cars. We know that Mr. L. lound Pappy an intelligent listener on this subject, for this has been one sport he's followed for years through watching and been one sport he's followed for years through watching and reading. Mr. Lampkin not only drove in the road races (he didn't care for track racing) but did stunt driving. At fairs and other big gatherings he often drove the car from which a daredevil man - or sometimes woman - would climb' to a moving plane by means of a rope. t While the men discussed retired to the kitchen to talk - and what is wrong with the have a number of bird houses around their acreage, and delight in watching the wrens, swallows, robins and other birds. They also have a colorful flower garden and a few fruit trees, but Mrs. L. said the rocky riverbank soil presents many problems. As for food, she said they keep the big refrigerator well stocked because their friends from southern California are apt to drop in, without warning, eager to be fed, bedded down and to try their luck with the Applcgate fish. The Lampkins agreed that the number of people who want to live in the Applegate seems to be increasing by leaps and bounds and while they don't have any figures to prove it, are sure that the number of cars traveling past their home has doubled in the the rWr.-O.S. New Methods Washington -UiPli- As many parents have discovered to their embarrassment, schools aren't teaching mathematics the way they used to do. As rapidly as qualified teachers are available, schools across the country are intro ducing "new math" courses, which stress concepts rather than rote performance of memorized steps in computa tion. The unwary parent who sits down to help Junior with his math homework may find himself struggling helplessly with terms he's never heard before. Recognizing that this ex perience can be shattering to parental dignity, some schools have begun to offer "face saver" courses for adults.

(UPH Hospitalized Physician Urges Visitor Control By PATRICIA McCORMACK New York -IllPli- Take it easy when you rally 'round the hospital bed to cheer a sick mend. Othe r w I s e, you're liable to send tem peratures and blood pres sure soaring and make nurses sore. P r o b I e m s c a u - e d by typical visi- Patricia McCormat'k tors were noted and diagnos ed by a physician who recent ly was hospitalized. Dr. Claude L. Brown, of Mobile, Ala., got well-despite attacks of visitorilis - and immediately drew up a plan aimed at helping all patients survive visiting hours. , Reporting in "Hospitals," journal of the American Hos pital association, the physi cian says lack of visitor con trol in a hospital is "worse than using dirty linen and serving bad food . , .." "The indivdual patient," he said, "is a prostrate and relatively impotent partici pant in the process of. being visited. "It's hard for him to appear less than glad to see visitors; lie doesn't want to seem churlishly ungraleful. So he's stuck with them." Urges Control Urging the nation's hospital administrators to impose much stricter control, Dr. Brown noted that failure to do so slems from apathy or plain obliviousness to the problem - and the misconcep tion that rigid rules will make everyone angry. He suggests tew exceptions to the rules thai there be visiting only during visiting hours and that there he a limit on the number of visi tors who might shower a pa tient Willi kindness at one time. "Nimirally, some people will complain," he 5-aid. "So what?" Amonu types of pesky visi tors Dr. Brown cited were the following; Pour one more... more!

While one talks on the phone for 20 minutes, the other is roaming the room like a decerebrate cougar, gobbling your candy, snapping off the loveliest of your rose buds, and ogling the 18 year old student nurse. - DESPERATELY HELP FUL: From long training, these are the officious types. They trank the bed up and down, raise the window shades, argue with the nurse, find fault with the hospital. -SADLY REMEMBERING: These types usually have much medical news, usually about at least one case similar to ihe patient's. They note that the cas-e under discussion was doing well, too, until some unforeseen complica tion occurred.

With the "desperately help ful" types you just suffer in silence. They're so busy talk ing, you don't get much chance lo talk anyway.

They never exhaust their supply of dismal -eports. To turn the tables on the sadly remembering type, say you re not looking so well ..."
