Have you thought any more about
making your own Christmas cards?
The offer still stands . . . the
offer you saw in last week’s “Sen
try.” Over at Club 2, the service*
of Pvt. Li-Roy Carbonneau, profes
sional instructor in linoleum block
printing, will be available. It’s a
swell chance to make your own
Yuletide greetings at very little
cost . . . and the effort required
will take care of an otherwise- dull
anil uneventful evening. Also, Pvt.
Carbonneau will teach soap carving,
if that type of art appeal* to you.
Speaking of art. Mrs. Merriam’s
offer (which received some, but not
enough response last time) still
holds. She is interested in starting
an art class . . . with instruction
apil supervision in water colors,
oils, charcoal or pencil sketching.
Don’t be bashful . . . let those
talents come forth. Drop in and
chat with Mrs. M. . . . and join
the class.

One of the greatest problems
confronting Camp Adair is ade
quate and convenient housing for
the civilian employees. The camp
is so situated that it is necessary
for many employees to drive a con
siderable distance to get here. The
problem is further complicated by
forthcoming restrictions on gaso
line and tires.
Realizing this situation, camp
headquarters preserved certain
buildings on the reservation, va
cated by farmers, for housing of
civilians in key positions. These
employees are vitally necessary in
the proper administration of the
camp, and they should be nearby I
in case of emergencies.
Due to damage after occupants ;
moved out. there is hardly a house
on the reservation that can be uti- '
lized for living quarters without |
repairs that will cost a large sum. |
To put the damaged buildings in ,
shape will require an expenditure |
of several thousand dollars, and no
funds were set aside for this pur- <
pose.
At many of the houses doors
have been pulled off the hinges,
door knobs have been removed,
plumbing fixtures have been torn
from the walls, and even portions
of the buildings have been taken
out.
These buildings are all govern I
ment property. Removal of any
equipment, material or fixtures is
not only a violation of the Army
Regulations,
but
a civil offense j
■
■
-
also.
These acts of destruction have
affected the present efficient oper-
ation of the camp, and will mater- I
¡ally affect the future operations.
It is sincerely desired that in the
future all personnel of Camp Adair
as well as civilians of Camp Adair i
will assist this headquarters in pre
venting destruction and damage to
these buildings which are so vital- |
ly necessary to the proper func-
tioning of this camp.

The Best ;
It seems a bit ridiculous, but a few days ago a news
paper in an eastern city—one of the largest—came out with
a rather pathetic story about men not finding time to get
out to the golf course any more. It’s been so long since any
of us in uniform have even thought of a golf course that it
is hard to imagine anyone complaining seriously alsiut it, yet
apparently that is the case.
