She is Joan Hawk ins, wife of Ronald Hawkins who has called Malin home all through his grade and high school yeara. Joan's borne town is Nottingham, England, and she first saw the United States In September, 1955. Joan and Ronald became ac quainted at a dance in Notting ham in September, 1953, and by Christmas of that year were en gaged. Their wedding took place at St. Martin's Church. Notting ham, on March 20, 1954. Joan is the youngest of 14 children and was the last one to leave home to be married. Two o' he- brother were killed during World War II one in India and the other in Germany. Schooling for Joan started at the age of 4 years, and she had NOW. THEN , If Dr. George R. Nicholson, Klamath Falls pathologist, ever de cided to emulate John Gunther, author of "Inside Europe" and "In side Asia," he could probably write at least one book that would be a best seller. And the logical title for his lit erary gem would be "Inside John Q. Public." . For Dr. Nicholson,' director of laboratories at Klamath Valley Hospital, is an authority on the mechanism of life and death. Through his explorations of the hu man body, he is able to accurately diagnose disease and at times ren der valuable aid to law enforce ment agencies In bringing crim inals to book. LIFF IN BALANCE He explained pathology plays a major role in almost every oper ation. Many times the recovery of a patient depends on a decision made by a pathologist. Dr. Nicholson is Inordinately proud of the greatly expanded lab oratories that have been installed Grazing Lease Bids for the lease of grazing tracts on Bureau of Reclamation land will be opened at 10 a.m. February 29 at the Klamath Falls office of the bureau, J. Pitts El more, project manager, reported today. Elmore said tht there are three tracts, two on the west side of Upper Klamath Lake, and one on the south side of Lower Klamath Lake. Acreage of the two tracts in Oregon are 2.360 and 1,199. The California tract totals 2.720 acres.

She then was a clerk in an Eng lish speciality grocery "shoppe." Most of her friends married Amer ican service men so she has sev eral English friends around the United States. The procurement of her visa for entrance into the United States is a story In Itself. Alter going through extensive medical examinations and filling out many questionnaires before marriage, s.ie felt she could obtain her visa without much trouble. But to her amazement, the X-ray taken for her medical examination at the American Embassy m'LondOD showed she had a small spot on her lung. Her English docior de termined that the spot was not caused by tuberculosis, but the American doctors at the embassy have to be very strict about a case of tills kind in granting a visa for entrance into the United States. She was refused a visa and in the meantime Ronald had been discharged from the Air Force alter serving about four years in England, and was sent home in Ociobe;, 1954. After his arrival home, Ronald, with t.ie cTistree of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jticl; S'.orey of Ma lin. w cregon s or.es .io.'al delegation. As a result, Joan's name was en.ered on a bill, 'n Act for the Relief of Certain Rela tive-, c'. U.C. c: lens or LawnOly Resident Aliens," passed by Con gress in June, 1955. Joan was given a visa with the stipulation that she post a $1000 bond with the U.S. Immigration authorities at Staten Island and that she undergo at leas; three months hospitaliza tion afler her arrival in Oregon. She arrived in Malin for a week In September and then went to the tuberculosis hospital at Salem from which she was released the week before Christmas. Since that Air Force Recruiter Tells Of New Service Benefits "Former Job speciality and grade" are a pair of benefits open to Klamath Falls veterans under the Air Force's nev prior Service Program that are usually spoken of together because they go to gether. That's how sergeant Don Adams, recruiter - salesman in Klamath Falls explains this provision of the new Air Force program,,; which has been created to reward prior servicemen possessing valuable technical skills learned while serv ing in the Armed Forces. - "These job specialties,' ex plained the sergeant, "are classi fied according to the need the Air Force has for that particular skill. Each career field job is classified either Scarce, Scarce Overseas Only, Needed, Needed Wintering Fowl Show Increase Waterfowl wintering in Oregon showed a definite Increase in pop ulation numbers over last year ac cording to final tabulations re ceived by the game commission from John Chatten, Pacific Fly way representative, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Final figures show that a total of 480.934 waterfowl were counted by state game commission and fed eral employes during the annual inventory conducted January 3 through January 16. This was an Increase of 99.601 birds over the low count of last year and com pared favorably with the, 1954 count when approximately !4,000 birds were tallied. The largest per cent increase took place in the number of geese wintering In the state (excluding .brant where the tally showed 58.7 'per cent more birds remaining than did last year. The tally for 1956 stood at 61.261 geese as com pared to last year's count of 38, 578 birds. The largest increase in actttal numbers of birds took place In the wintering duck population. The to tal count numbered 367,822 birds for an Increase of 62,548 over the 1955 tally. Overseas Only, Special Surplus, and Surplus. "The grade to which each prior serviceman Is entitled, then, is de termined not only by how long he has been out of the service, but the scarcity of the former skill for which he is enlisting In the Air Force." Under the present program, Ser geant Adams said, prior Air Force servicemen enlisting In a "Scarce" Air Force job specialty have as much as 12 months to come back in the grade they held at the time of discharge, while veterans with a "Needed" Job specialty have six months to retain their former grade. "Although former airmen in a 'Surplus' career field specialty must re-enllst eithin, 90 days to retain these benefits," Sergeant Adams said, "they may enlist in another career field and then be sent to school for taining In that specialty. Former skill and grade benefits. Sergeant Adams added, are also open to men with service in other branches of the Armed Forces. They can often come back any time within six months, and hold a grade as high as technical ser geant, "In other words," concluded Ser geant Adams, "under the Air Force's Prior Service Program, veterans can often regain there former grade or a good part of it by enlisting In and practicing their old and familiar job special ty; or they can if qualified en list for Air Force training in a brand new career Held of their choice."

He served internship and his residency as a pathologist at City Hospital. Akron, Ohio. IN KOREA During the Korean War. Dr. Nicholson, with the rank of captain. was on active duty with the medi cal corps from 1949 to 1953. While he was in Korea, Dr. Nich olson performed many autopsies on prisoners of war who died while in custody. That activity gave him chance to study rare Oriental diseases with which the Koreans were afflicted. Dr. Nicholson decided to locate in Klamath Falls after hearing this region extolled by Dr. Raymond Tice, Klamath Falls surgeon, who also served his Internship at Akron City Hospital. GOES WEST "When I decided to go west," Dr. Nicholson explained. "I had Klamath Falls as my ultimate des tination. However. I stopped in half a dozen other communities where pathologists were needed. I am sorry to say some of those other places were what are known as stagnant medical communities." The pathologist lauded medical standards in Klamath Falls, "Frankly, I do not believe the general public realizes the high standards maintained by the physi clans and surceens here."
