The couple lived in Medford at 2109 East Main Street for the past 22 years and previous to that were Ashland residents for 20 years. They will live at "Leisure World," at Seal Beach near Long Beach. The Wallins re cently arranged for an apart ment in the new senior citizen center. Mr. Wallin was employed by Swift and Company throueh- out their residency in Southern uregon. Mrs. Wallin was active in Trinity Episcopal Church work during the time they lived in Ashland. In Medford she was a member of St. Mark's Episco pal Church, and was active in the Medford Garden Club and the Weavers Guild. Before their departure several events were given in their hon or.

I shall mention two in that category this week, by way of a change of pace from writing about our many educators, clergymen and mis sionariesalthough those three fields are by no means exhaust ed. And the first who comes to mind, naturally, is Dr. W. W. P. Holt from Medford. This col umn is written more, perhaps, for the information of his fellow members, as Dr. Holt is well and widely known and belongs to the State of Oregon and this valley, as well as to the Manor. Son of a Presbyterian mis sionary (he was born in China), Dr. Holt was graduated from the University of Oregon Med ical School in 1905 and practiced medicine in the Rogue River valley for more than 50 years. He was a general practitioner in the early days of the horse and saddle era of transportation over practically non-existent roads. Many long-time valley residents will recall his wry sense of humor in telling of one trip of more than 20 hours that completely wore out four horses and one doctor just about. We have no follow-up on the recov ery of the horses, but we do know that the Doctor bounced back and for many many years thereafter answered every call for help from anyone, at any time and in any place he could possibly reach. With no direct means of communication, such ingenious methods of signaling for his help as bedsheets hang ing from porches and tin cans tied across the trails he traveled were devised. At times he per formed operations on kitchen tables, with husband or wife giving the anaesthetic and other people holding uu lamDS for light. Dr. Holt is a charter mem ber of both the Southern Ore gon and Jackson County Med ical Societies; he also served as first Jackson County physician and was active in the organiza tion of county health services. in recognition and gratitude, he was chosen "Doctor of the Year" in 1959. He is also a long-time mem ber of the Medford Rotary Club. Each Tuesday he is off. jubilantly, with his Manor Rotary friends to attend the luncheon at the Country Club. He never misses a week. Dr. Holt is the personification of friendly, courteous kindliness with never a word of complaint; and the Manor is happy to have had both him and the late Mrs. Holt with us for their 60th wed ding anniversary. We are glad, indeed, to have him with us now, receiving the best of care and solicitous attention from our staff and his friends and a devoted daughter Helen Holt Wilson who spends part of each day here with him. We think it quite unusual and a source of pride for the Manor to have two retired Oregon physicians, both of whom were early day general practitioners a wonderful but rapidly disap pearing species of the medical profession. This is understand ably so, since the phenomenal advances in medical science is forcing specialization and, ap parently very soon, will force specialization within a special ity. The second doctor is Dr. Bertha DeVore. And we feel it is another distinction to have one of the comparatively few percentage wise woman doc tors. Dr. DeVore was really "doing what comes naturally" in choosing medicine as a pro fession, since her father, other relatives and even a number of ancestors were physicians. After graduation, she started practice with her father in Drain, Oregon, in 1908, and very soon continued alone because of her father's failing health. She was another horse and sad dle doctor contending with the same impassable ana impos sible road conditions, and it was necessary for her to travel to patients fur many miles arouna, since the nearest hospitals were 40 miles north or south. At times Dr. DeVore used logging engine and hand car rides to reach those needing her even resorting to "shank s mare and trudging along on foot. She reports that her one memorable fright was on a very dark, windy and rainy night when a huge, black cow suddenly ap peared "spank" in front of her on the trail. Gradually it be came possible to use a horse and buggy and, eventually, a car. But still those roads! When accidents occurred, she also performed minor surgery on kitchen tables without electric ity, running water or heat, and with jittery relatives as her only assistants. The most remarkable feature of these two life sketches of two remarkable people is the matter-of-fact, cheerful, uncom plaining manner in which they carried on in their dedicated service to their fellow men and their loyalty to their profes sional creed. Their treatments, of course, were as much psy chological, mental and emo tional as physical a form of healing which is once again coming into prominence. As in the professional fields mentioned in previous columns, these are but two of the many careers worthy of consideration and admiration. Lone Pine PTA Open House Set uona rine rareni i eacner As sociation will sponsor an open house at Lone Pine School Tues day, November 12.

Society Member To Speak About Baptist Session Her visit this summer to the American Baptist Assembly at Green Lake, Wise, will be the subject of the program to be given by Miss Esther Jones at a meeting of the Woman's Mis sion Society of Eastwood Bap tist cnurcn Tuesday, November 12. at 8 p.m. Miss Jones is Christian social relations chair man in the society. After the meeting, hostesses serving re freshments will be Mrs. Lucille Fields and Mrs. Jack Meves. Mrs. Robert Blacketor intro duced the October program "Our Changing City Streets" by telling of her recent visit to her childhood home of Colum bus, Ohio. Devotions were led by Mrs. Fields and a luncheon was prepared and served by Mrs. John Yungen and Mrs William L. White. Women of Eastwood partici pated in the World Community Day sponsored by the Medford Council of Church Women and in the Baptist Woman's Day of Prayer held at the First South ern Baptist Church. Mrs. L. Paul Walker, Eastwood wo men's representative on the council, presented friendship packets prepared by Marietta and Joyce Smith Circles. Others attending from East wood were the Rev. and Mrs. C. J. Young and Mrs. White. Mrs. John Yungen, spiritual life chairman of the WMS, rep resented Eastwood in planning the Baptist Day of Prayer. Mrs. Robert Blacketor addressed the group, Mrs. Young and Mrs. Yungen took part In directed prayer, and others participating from Eastwood were Mrs. White and Mrs, Harold Hewlett.
