possible. By having the books
brought in to this Army Branch Li
brary, it also becomes possible to
have the books carefully sorted and
made up into well balanced col
lections covering a wide range of
reading interests.
Camp Adair now ha.- it's two
finq Service Club libraries operat
ing and serving the hospital units
as well as the day rooms.. But
there are other camps and stations
not having their own libraries and
needing books badly-particularly
those in remote areas which are
served by Traveling Libraries. The
Army Branch Library in Salem,
which is under the direct supervis
ion of Fort Douglas headquarters,
receives the requests from these
camps, fills the orders from the
books given in the Victory Book
Campaign and the wjiole procedure
is handled through official army
channels.
People in localities adjacent to
Camp Adair have been very gen
erous in their gifts but they are i 1
urged to follow the army’s request
not to continue to send their books
directly to camp, but to turn them
in to their local libraries for the
Victory Book Campaign, so that
the books will reach the men most
needing them.' In this way, there
is no duplication of material or
effort, and all camps are supplied
with books according to their
needs.

Mrs. Ruth K. Stratton. Librarian.
B Oregon Branch. 9th Service
Command Library
At a recent conference of all pro
fessional librarians of the 9th Serv
ice Command, considerable im
phasis was placed upon two par-
ticular points in connection with
library service to the army.
First, on the necessity of having
all donated reading material han
dled by the Army Branch libraries
instead of it being sent directly to
the camps by the donors—this has
become a serious detriment hi some
areas. Second, on the regulation
i-equiring all library service to the
army to be accomplished through
official army channels.
Five Branch Libraries have been
established by the 9th Service
Command to regulate the flow of
donated books and reading mater
ial. In addition to this Oregon
Branch, the others are located at
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seat
tle, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix,
Arizona.
In view of the instructions giv
en us at the conference and with
the realization that Camp Adair is
still receiving many book gifts
from well-meaning groups and in
dividuals in nearby communities, I
suggest that an explanation of the
requested procedure be brought to
the attention of the general public
through a release to the news
papers from your office. In pre
paring such a release, the following
summary may be of help:

Corvallis Wins
District Title
The Corvallis high Spartans
downed the Toledo high school bas
ketball team at Corvallis Tuesday
night by a score of 40 to 17. thus
clinching for them the sub-district
title and clearing the way for the
district championship battle with
Eugene here this Friday.
After a slow start which MW
the first quarter score just 6 to 0
in their favor, the Spartans, led
by a substitute guard named Larry
West, scored 10 points while the
awakened Toledo five pushed in 9.
Score at half time was 16 to 9.
lligh-scoring honors for the eve
ning went to Larry West whose
timely second quarter baskets kept
the Spartans in the lead. His 10
points were followed by 8 apiece for
Anderson and Toledo’s Crosno and
Ashton.
