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.

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

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. The
Natiunai Council of Teachers
of Mathematics said the cours

Hospitalized Physician
Urges Visitor Control

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

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.
Act Sick
Dr. Brown, said the "blithe
spirits'' like snappy repartee,
a live show, and usually get
uncomfortable and leave if
you act sick. To send tliem

With the "desperately help

chance lo talk anyway. But
Dr. Brown said fortunately
(hey don't lingei forever; they
have other sufferers lo help
besides you.
The "sadly remembering''
types slay the longest. They
never exhaust their supply of
dismal -eports.
To turn the tables on the
