Camp Adair Sentry. Pare Three ------- -—- Thursday, March 18,1943. Gen. Duncke! Outlines Civilian War Duties Partially Completed Corvallis USO Opens With Many Facilities A large portion of Adairmen are new acquainted with the numer ous facilities to be found at the newly-opened USO Club in Corval lis. But for those who haven't dropped in to see what the club offers, here's a tip that it should be THE place to go when in town. There is a large lounge room, equipped with new furniture and trimmings with a large log-burn ing fireplace as a main attraction. Then there’s the large library which also houses the ping-pong tables (at present until the second- floor game room is finished) and the quiet and restful writing room. The entire building eventually will operate as a, club, though at pres ent, only a portion of the first floor has been completed. There will, be a large combination audi torium-theatre-ballroom also on the main floor. USO officials expect the er tire project to be finished in a few months. But at present, there is plenty there to shout about. Why not drop in? Division Commander Talks to Eugene Club An intimate glimpse into the life of a soldier at Camp Adair was given to members of the Kiwanis club of Eugene Monday by Briga dier General William C. Duncke}, artillery commander of the Timber Wolf Division. General Dunckel represented Major General Gilbert R. Cook, divisional commander, who was unable to be present. “Soldiers today are teamed up with you people on the home front,” General Dunckel pointed out. “You are providing, through your mills and factories, the tools with which this war will be won. Soldiers are learning how to use the tools most effectively against our enemies. Y’our part is fully as important as ours.” The spirit of the soldier was highly praised by General Dunckel. He pointed to the remark of one of the men of the Timber Wolf division, who said, “Let’s learn fast, so we can get this war over fast.” The soldier of today is more seri ous than were the troops of the last war, General Dunckel said, and discipline presents no serious prob lem. Not only better citizens, but in many cases, more intelligent citi zens, will come out of the ranks of this war, it was stated. In addition to orientation and other courses offered the men, the few who can not read nor write are taught to do this, he pointed out. General Dunckel was introduced by Lt. George H. Godfrey, Camp Adair public relations officer. Hospital Dietician, Therapy Aide, Given 2nd Lieutenants Bars It's now Lt. Helen Johnson and Lt. Lydia Kuehler! Yesiree.
