Camp Adair Sentry Chaplain Puls Out Low Down for Gals Wishes of Soldiers Told Hostess League (By Pfc. Raymond C. Johnson) "What does the serviceman ex pect from a Junior Hostess?” So you’ve been wondering, too! Will, the one army man with all the answers—the chaplain—knows the answer. It seems this question had been troubling the Junior Hostesses, those lovely girls in Corvallis who help make the regular Tuesday and Friday night dances there so much fun. and the answer was presented by the Camp Adair Chaplain, Capt. I.loyd V. Harmon when he spoke to the Junior Hostess league at their meeting last week. Soldiers want intelligent and un derstanding companionship com bined with the ability to carry on a conversation, Chaplain Harmon told the group. He went on to emphasize the fact that soldiers are some times more self-conscious than the girls who are serving in the ca pacity of Junior Hostesses, and he | urged the girls to “take the lead in carrying on the conversation,” adding that often it is necessary to wiggle a conversation from the boys. "Don't be sentimental,” was an- other point made by the Chaplain. In explaining this, he said that girls should always keep in mind the fact that many of the men in uniform are already married or engaged to girls back home,” that the length of their stay in this vicinity is undeterminable, He I warned against the unhappy out- 1 come frequently resulting in “war marriages.” Chaplain Harmon reminded the Junior Hostesses that a soldier can not tell all the truth about military subjects and illustrated this fact with instances he had known when it was impossible for a soldier to tell the truth. In listing the qualities desired in a Junior Hostess, he told the group that a soldier expects his com- | panion to be respectable at all times and to be cheerful and not to bother him with her own grief. “The soldier has the huge task 1 of winning the war facing him and already has enough worry and grief of his own,” the speaker added. "The average private.” he went on to say,” is the man responsible for fighting the war and Junior . Hostesses could do much for the ' n rale of these men if they would stress their importance in the war effort. The men with the stripes and the bars." the Chaplain added, , “only train the great mass of pri- I vates and direct them in what they , are to do.” In conclusion. Chaplain Harmon ' said that nothing so honors a young ; man in the armed forces as an invi tation to a girl’s home, where he may meet her family and enjoy life ' as he remembered it before enter ing the army.

Natives of this region know how easily plants grow here and already soldiers from distant parts have noted it, in nearby towns where all summer new roses have been bud ding and coming to bloom along residence streets.
