HOME-LIKE RECREATION
ROOMS FOR SOLDIERS
Supplementing the USO in Cor-
vallis, the Baptist church is fitting
up home-like recreation rooms for
soldiers in the basement of the
church at Ninth and Monroe. Be­
ginning this week these rooms will
be open for the use of service men
Saturday night and Sunday after­
noon. Later it is expected to have
these rooms open every afternoon
and evening.
There will be a cheerful parlor
with an open fireplace and all the
I comforts of home for loafing, read­
ing, writing or just visiting. Also
there will be a large game and
recreation room, and refreshment
counter with hostesses in charge.
It is planned to have weekly
entertainments at this recreation
center, a joint program arranged
by soldiers and civilians. Monthly
pot-luck feeds for soldiers of defi­
nite units are proving very popu­
lar with the service men. Thia
plan will be continued, as whole
families have the opportunity to
meet with the soldiers around ta­
bles laden with good things that
only mothers know how to make.

Secretary of the Naw Frank

Navy Day address to the nation
Tuesday evening said that the Navy
of the United States had “hit the
enemy some savage blows and we
have just begun to fight." Secre­
tary Knox pointed out that V. S.
shipyards are now turning out mer­
chant ships faster than the enemy
can sink them, and added, "he isn't
sinking them so fast any more
either.”
Knox mentioned many facts,
more favorable for the allies now
than ever before but to correct an
impression that he was being too
optimistic the secretary closed his
address by saying, “we have a long
and agonizing road ahead of us nnd
the price in blood and treasure w ill
be staggering."

every village and city. Navy Day
this year was the inspiration for
public rallies and patriotic gather­

was also marked by the special
induction of thousands of new navy

With U. S. naval units now oper­
ating in almost every sea on the
