(Sven) Johnson, coordinat- «r at Camp Adair, made an inves tigational trip to Medford last week, accompanied by E. L. Gray of Independence. Camp White is in the process of construction near Medford. ‘■We went on a fact-finding | trip,” Mr. Johnson said, in relat- ( ing some of the interests of the trip, “and wanted to see Medford's camp because building was started there before ground was broken | here. We went to try to pick up some of the multitude of things which happen, but which we are unable to foresee. “We found that there are plenty of problems. Medford has solved coine of them satisfactorily and some are unsolved, but we gained much information which should be of great value to us here.” The Camp Adair delegation lunched with President Jackson of the Medford chamber of commerce and Frank Van Dyke, Ashland lawyer, who is coordinator there. “We were at that luncheon table for several hours,” confided Mr. Johnson, “and they pointed out their failures and many conclu sions. We should reap the benefit of this experience.” Medford’s biggest problem is priorities, the Camp Adair co An asset to any bathing suit, ordinator reports, with housing running it a close second.
