loud Speaker Used To Save Tires, Gas 4 Builders Boss Puts Power Into Orders When you hear a loud, distinct voice floating up in back of you, pr seeming to come from over head, it will not be Japs, a fire- alarm, or anything of that kind— just the new public address sys tem which R. M. Robson has had installed in his car so that he can call a man or men a block or so away, issue necessary instructions and in other ways save time, tires and confusion. Nice idea. Bob.

Page Four Seen stressed the need for not only a USO building in the city but the necessity of opening every available recreation center, club or church to take care of the soldiers. Knowledge gained by Miss Seen, when she attended a national re creation convention in the east last fall, suggested to her the impor- tance of full preparation for a recreational program in army can tonment areas. Based on figures obtained from other cantonment centers, Corvallis and the surrounding cities can regularly expect about 15 per cent of the soldiers to be on leave. This figure, however, may be more or even less, depending on the offi cials in charge of the camp. Those attending the institute took away with them a knowledge of how to conduct a score of the popular games, party ideas and recreations directing. One session was spent with songs and leading group singing. Prof. Dan Poling, assistant dean of men at OSC, directed this session. It is the plan, according to Miss Seen, to give a series of follow-up sessions for this group next fall and winter. In this way the re creational leaders will be given additional assistance to meet their problems after they have conduct ed a series of programs of their own.
