0A MEDFORP MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Tablets By A. I. NEALON Mill Tribune Tabl Rock Corrtipondeiit During our stay at the hospital, the paper boy from the M.T. made his trip each day. It seemed that everyone was anxious to get the paper. On one of his trips he asked us if we wanted a paper, and when we told him we didn't have any monev he passed us up. The next day he came again. We shook 'our head and told him again we had no money. As he was about to pass us ,by, Mr. Charley, in a bed across the room, asked him if he wasn't going to give us a paper, and when we said, "No, I haven't any money," Charley in a sarcastic tone of voice said, "I wish I had his bank roll." This caused the boy to pause, and look us over. He seemed to gather from what Charley had said that we had collateral. Hi pulled a paper from his bundle and threw it on our bed. That boy some day may be a banker, and I owe him 10 cents. . . This card is from a California woman who grew up in Oregon. "I hear you're taking a little vacation. You might enjoy your stay in the hospital quite a bit. There are some . pretty cute nurses in those nurses' robes. We enjoyed read ing the Tablets in the Mall Tribune. It's refreshing to hear someone stick up for our public officials." There is more in those robes than cute faces. There are persons who have dedicated their lives to the help and care. of others physically to help mend a broken body, mentally to give to the sufferer a better vision of life and a spiritual uplifting. While our nurse was washing our feet we remarked that we had the lesson in Sunday school about Christ wash ing the disciples' feet. She said that was a sign of humility, and that if more people practiced humility this would be a far better world. We remarked that we had always felt that we would never come to the place where we would be a burden to anyone. She shamed us for talking that way, said we weren't a burden to anyone. She said she liked to care for us and knew that when we went home, the wife would love to take care of us. We said that maybe women are that way. She said, "Of course they are, and I don't want to hear you talking as if you were a burden to anyone." Wednesday morning, Nov. 20. Here we are still on the dis abled list, after getting out of the hospital some 10 days ago, after an emergency operation that is supposed to put us on our feet in the long run, but so far we don't feel like walk ing, let alone running. We have a good doctor, and feel he will patch us up so we will soon be running on two cylinders again. He is a bit old-fashioned. On our first visit the first thing be said was, "Stick out your tongue." Then he held our wrist, checked our pulse, took our blood pressure and said, "I wouldn't know what to prescribe for you, as I can't find anything the matter with you.' That was some time ago. The other day when we barged In on him he could see that we were bursting at the seams, and falling apart. Sticking one's tongue out, reminds us of the training camp in World War I. To combat the flu, we marched single file past a man with a squirt gun, where we paused, stuck out our tongue, and said, "ahaah." Then, bing, the man with gun pulled the trigger, and we got a mouth full of dirty tasting stuff that stayed with us all day. We were glad to get out of the hospital and come home, and we guess the hospital folks were happy when we left, as we caused them trouble, for we are allergic to pain killers, and when we get a shot, we are apt to try to climb right up the wall, Twice we climbed out of our bed, after our nurse thought she had us tied in. She and the orderly had to run down and put us back to bed. The orderly, who seemed to be a real nice fellow, got his training at Camp White during World War 2. ' .-...'

Addition To Ashland Hospital Now Under Study ASHLAND The city council will study a proposal made the past week by the board of direc tors of the Ashland Community Hospital whereby a 20-bed con valescent wing may be erected. According to the plan present ed, a 4,200 square-foot addition, costing an estimated $104,000, would be built by funds realized from the sale of the old city owned hospital and matching amount from Hill-Burton grant, a total of $97,000, the balance to be raised from anticipated rev enues. The board gave comparative figures and cited convalescent units now proving highly suc cessful in the Oregon cities of Lebanon, Toledo and Cottage Grove. Council members expressed interest in the proposal but agreed to investigate the situa tion to find out if there is a need at this time. Several councilmen questioned the use of the old hospital sale money for such a project instead of making repayment to the electrical fund for loans made to the old hospital. By HAZEL DAVIS Mail Tribune Correspondent HAPPY CAMP During the recent Happy Camp Parent Teacher Association mee ting here, eighth grade teacher Rob ert Schaefer spoke on his find ings in his study of the new Initial Teaching Alphabet, which was recently featured in an is sue of Life magazine. According to Schaefer, he is being sent to Lompoc, near Los Angeles, to view the new alpha bet system now on a trial pro gram at that school district. He is being sent by the local ele mentary school board to further the study of the program tj see if the new alphabet would be beneficial to the Happy Camp district. At present in Lompoc the program is being used for remedial work. ' Film Shown A film was shown explaining the new Initial Teaching Alpha bet (ITA) which has the main distinction of having a 43 letter alphabet, with each letter hav ing only one sound as compared to the traditional alphabet of 26 letters which has an approxi mate total of more than 200 sounds.

Collier said this is the first step in a program which is expected to take at least three years to give the Redwood nign way Interstate status. The Interstate program, which provides 92A per cent of the cost from Federal funds, would greatly speed up improvement of the Redwood Highway," Col lier said. "And equally import ant, it would release state funds for use on other state highways in the North Coast area. It is an important project, and one which I believe we can accom plish if all of the local groups on the coast give it their backing." Collier said his resolution was adopted at a meeting of High way Policy Problems of the Council of State Governments in Albuquerque two weeks ago, and was endorsed by the 13 states present. It calls for an 1,800 mile addi tion to the Interstate System, and provides three billion dollars for California Highways, of which 2.3 billion would be for U.S 101 and 199. After the Albuquerque meet ing, Collier spent three days in Washington, D.C., and discussed the project there with Congress men from California, Oregon, .

MONTAGUE Leon High went to Medford Monday to enter the Rogue Valley Hospital where he is to have surgery. He expects to be there for several weeks and will welcome cards and visits from his friends. cording secretary; Mrs. Daniel Stewart, financial secretary; and Mrs. Paul Molloy, treasurer. Mrs. Walter McLean, district deputy president of the Gold Hill Lodge said new officers will be installed some time in January. Plans were discussed for the initiation, for which no date has been set. Mrs. A. A. Walker is degree captain. It was reported that William A. Carter, a retired Portland attorney, who is the only living charter member of Amethyst Rebekah Lodge had stated in a letter, favorable comments rela tive to a recent feature story and other articles that have ap peared in the Mail Tribune con cerning the history of the Gold Hill lodges.

The film also stated that the transition back to the traditional alphabet from the ITA alphabet was no trouble at all for the young students. The ultimate goal of this pro gram, according to Schaefer, would be to have more readers in the higher ability levels. The program is designed to give the very young reader more confi dence and interest in reading, and this stimulation may be the difference in later years be tween being an average student or one of higher ability. Most children, except-those with very high ability upon en tering school, become so con fused by the many sounds of the traditional alphabet that in some cases they just about give up, he said. ' Plans Meeting Schaefer passed booklets to the ' many interested parents present and stated that he planned to call a meeting of persons who would like to know more about the program within a month after he has visited Lompoc schools for more infor mation. , Parents will be notified of the meeting date at which time any questions may be asked, and if they cannot be answered by Schaefer, they will be for warded on to researchers on the subject who can answer them. - According to Schaefer, this program must be studied thor oughly before a decision can be '-reached as to whether it will be feasible here. If this pro gram is instituted here, it will probably be used for remedial work at first and then broad ened to' kindergarten and first graders on a voluntary basis, Schaefer said. : Also speaking during the meet ing was Frank Lootens, local civil defense director, who gave the members a brief up to date report on what has been done in civil defense work here and what is being done now.
