Small Piano
Wheeled from ward to ward,
to the auditorium, to the lounge
at the Camp Adair hospital, is
a portable spinet piano, recent
gift of the Benton county com
mittee of the Red Cross Valley
Coast camp and hospital coun
cil,' for the entertainment of
bedfast and ambulatory pa
tients. Purchase of the highly
prized piano Was made possible
by generous donations of Cor
vallis organizations and indi

tive, reports.
Council-sponsored musicians
and Gray Lady pianists occa
sionally provide musical pro

often the musicians here are the
ambulatory patients. In the
auditorium, the piano figures
in special event programs. In
the lounge it is the center of
party activity. Its use is con
stant. Probably, say hospital offi
cials, no single gift to the hos
pital has done more than the
little portable piano to build up
morale and bring solace to the
servicemen hospitalized at the
camp.
