Calling all cars, calling all cars: Those four girls standing at the curb, looking so helpless, at the corner of 9th and Van Bur­ en Sts., Corvailis, eariy every morning, want a ride to camp. They all work here. They have no transportation. If you are go- ing their way, it will be worth your while to pick them up. If you are not going their way, it will be worth your while to go out of your way and pick them up. Two work at Station hospital, two at Post headquarters. Ever since the camp really got going the girls have been hitch-hiking to work here, even riding in a truek hauling a wrecked car. They are the Misses Janet Bax­ ter, Barbara Belshe, Gladys Jones, Elaine Wiegand. P.S.—They don’t mind riding with officers.—H.B.
