The offer still stands . . . the offer you saw in last week’s “Sen­ try.” Over at Club 2, the service* of Pvt.

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.
