The drive is being conducted in Eugene with the assistance of Eugene and Uni versity high schools. Recognition will be given to the living organi zation which contributes the most hangers. Paper hangers are not to be turned in, as they are not heavy enough to hold a military coat. Miss Bevil explained. The following statement from Chaplain Clair E. Yohe of Camp Adair explains the need for clothes hangers: Chaplain States Need Oregon Students: I assure you that we were greatly pleased to hear today that your local USO is planning to have a drive for coat hangers in the city of Eugene. We were especially impressed with your plan to have the drive be a house to house affair. We would hardly have cared to have tolcl you that this is the way to- do it; but now that you have said that this is your plan, we heart ily agree that there is no better way to do it. We have two major reasons for wishing to secure a quantity of coat hangers: 1. If a soldier cannot hang his clothes properly, they will never look neat. He*will always be a wrinkled soldier. 2. There is always the point of health. Clothes properly hung will dry out and air out better. The soldier will feel better ancl do a. better job if we can keep his clothing in good shape for him.
