OREGON Former Medford Woman Describes Alaskan Camp (Editor's Note: The fol lowing is the second letter received from Mrs. Kenneth Brown, former Medlord res ident, who with her hus band is living on an island off the coast of Alaska. They are there for the sum mer while Mr. Brown is em ployed with a logging con tractor. The couple was ac tive in Crater Lake aerie and auxiliary. Fraternal Or der of Eagles, while here.) You asked about the camp. Well, in the camp itself there are the machine shops and the barge the men live on, and the big oil tanks, then along the edge of the bay, a trailer house, two houses on a barge and our house. The big barge is about 50 by 150 feet, and there is a two-story building on it. Upstairs is where the men sleep. Three rooms sleep one man each, five rooms sleep two men each, and eight rooms sleep four men each. The toi lets and showers and laundry rooms-are also up there. That's where we women do our washing, but we have to be sur-c no one is up there and hurry and get out. Do.w.nstairs at one cud is t-he office w-hich is also the. commissary and fir-st a-id room. Beside it across the end is a room where the dishwasher sleeps and then a room where the men take off their caulk shoes and get the slippers they left there in the morning as they can't wear caulks up stairs. Dini-ng Room The dining room is the full width of the building and about half the lenrgth, and the tables are the usual kind with benches attached. The kitchen is next and it is the most complete camp kitchen I have ever seen. The dishwasher has his usual set of sinks and the flunky has his own sinks too on one side. Across the back of rhe kitchen is a cold-room and a walk-in deep freeze. Then more storage sn-pce and the cook's side where she also has a set of sintas and her work tables and big mixer. She has two electric ovens, they each hold six pies at a time, an electric French fryer, a huge restaurant range and two elec tric grills. The cook's quar ters are behind the kitchen. The actual logging isn't very far from camp yet. Ken ny estimated about two and a half miles of main road have been completed to the working area. About one fourth mile of road goes from camp to the powder house and gravel pit. The gravel is all crushed for them. All they do is scoop it into the trucks. It is rock that has come down with the glaciers. I thought it would be pretty, but it.isn't, we have -several rock-hounds in the crew and they are most disappointed in it. Gravel Trucks The company has three gravel trucks aRd skip-loader. (Kenny says most of them down there would call it a front-end gravel laadcr.) They arc running three sides with two donkeys and a triple- drum cat yarder. One donkey side is a cold deek and they will swing it eventually. There are Hmee logging trucks and they haul the loss to the rafting ground and dump them in the water. All the rafts are bundle rafts, that means straps are put around the load while it is still on the truck and dump ed as a unit, put in the raft that way too. The dump is what we call the salt chuck. It's a sort of Inner bay which raises and lowers with the tide. Where It starts you can wade across it, as it is a Small creek at low water, but it wid ens out to cover a space of about 35 acres. The rafts have to be brought out at high water. There is one boom boat which is an all steel diesel and the Myra, a small tug and work boat.

The timber is hemlock and spruce, mostly hemlock. Sev enty to 75 per cent of it goes to Sitka to the pulp mill and the saw logs go to the mill at Wrangell. We have three rafts right out in front now and a big tug came and got two others last night. It is all government timber and there is a forest service man here all the time. About half the time two or three others are here too. July 4 July 4 wilt be upon us soon and we are going to town. We plan to go in, the 'morn ing of the third and come back on the fifth. The rigging crew is going to be down but the cutting crew is supposed to work. Kenny says he needs a vacation, he's only been out of camp once since Feb. 6. We want to get a refrigerator and paint for both inside and out side and all kinds of things. Our sink and plumbing and wiring supplies finally came so I should have water and lights soon. When I go to Sitka I'm go ing to go to see the old Rus sian church and I'll write you about it. Our son says it de fies description, but I can try.

S&SffWR' TV:'flcWJlfr C? ,wr It .r.Jll.tl..r' 1 By MARGARET SCHULER Berlin - We pulled up be hind the iron frame work in front of the Brandenburg gate and our guide told us it was being built for a reviewing stand for President Kennedy, adding slyly, that it was al most ready, except for the rocking chair. We have done more than the President will do of sight seeing. We have been for three hours in East Berlin. We went through "Check Point Charlie," over the narrow opening, spent a half hour de claring our every penny-or mark - being looked at, and compared with our passport pictures. A Russian girl guided us on the East side. Marty, my grandson, said, I thought rath er pertinently, "What a dif ference a wall makes." Because, from busy shop filled, restaurant - filled, and street-filled West Berlin, one's going into the eastern sector was like drifting into a ghost town. The wide, once beauti ful streets were almost de serted; there were few cars, and few people. Bombed buildings remain as they were, rubble is in great piles. Shop windows, (which the guide from West Berlin told us were for show) had but scanty, cheap displays. We saw no one in the shops. There was no noise, and we won dered where the million peo ple were who live there, and how they eat. We saw few vegetable stands. These had queues in front of them. We were told, also, that what au tomobiles there are, belong to the state. Visit Park At one place we were al lowed out of the bus. It was in one of the most beautiful parks I have seen in Europe Treptow. It is now a memorial to the Russian dead: five thou sand are buried there. Great marble statues commemorate the place. One had a broken swastika at the base. But no one was in the park, only women, who were sweeping the paths. We were allowed to take pictures there. In fact, every where. But as the windows were all tightly fastened, it is probable they would not be very clear. We were permitted to take pictures of the mound designating the spot where Hitler committed suicide-and every one did. Wall Formidable After the three hours, we were checked again, and our faces studied to see there was no funny business. The Rus sian girl went through the lug gage compartments and we re turned to "Check Point Charlie." We left the eastside paradise and we all relaxed with the German girl, who was as cute as a button, and came on again, to guide. She told us many facts of interest.

Much is written about tha thirty-five mile long wall, but until I saw it, I did not ap preciate the dreadful formid able thing it is. At intervals, on the street in front of the wall, are simple, wooden me morials, marking places whera those who were unsuccessful in escaping, lty. The wall blindly follows tha street, covering windows of houses where once friends had waved to one another, cover, ing a part of a beautiful brick church, and growing higher and higher. It is said 10,000 police guard the wall, but I didn't see one. They hide be hind windows and peep through holes in the brick. The guide told us that many of them are mere youngsters 16 and 18 years old. She said in plain American, "They are trigger happy.". She warned us against doing anything un precedented. On the east sida of the wall, it is painted white, so shadows of escapees can better be seen. When we left the street of the wall, there was again bustle and busy living. About 65 per cent of the buildings have been reconstructed in West Berlin. The new area is modern and elegant. Restau rants, beautiful out-door cafes and coffee shops, are every where, and they all seemed filled to capacity. Food Good Food tasted so very good. There were large helpings of meat, which coming from Italy we noticed particularly, and found less expensive than in Rome. At the Templchaf airport a little incident occurred which made us feel good. We wera flying, and were about to leave, when the driver of the cab we had come in, to the terminal, returned to give Marty his bill fold which ha had lost out of his hip pocket. The Mersereaus once left a camera - a $400 camera - in a taxi in Rome. It was reported immediately and checked in, but no one had seen it. I never heard of anything lost, either in cabs or streetcars, which was ever found in Rome. Most Germans speak Eng lish, many, many more in shops and public places than in Italy. And a little irrelevant note: women were stylishly dressed, girls pretty, and I wished I had owned a hat (which I do not). It was not my idea to go to Berlin. Marty wanted to sea the WALL. I am glad we did now. SAMBO'S NOW OPEN 24 HRS. Our (jm-ty of Trt PtkK
