Camp White Work
Studied by Riddlers
H. C. (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.”
