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.
