Treat at Camp Adair
•Some eighty-four children and
teachers from the Noti School.

purchased a record Si800 of War
Bonds since the diive began, and
have in addition, collected over
sixty tons of scrap iron.
The party, arranged by Lt. Han­
ley, started off with a parade
through the camp where stops were
made at all points of interest with
the caravan led by the command
car with the name “Noti School“
emblazoned on its side. Lt. George
H. Godfrey, post public relations
officer, photographed the patriotic
kids grouped about their newly
named vehicle.
The afternoon was topped off.
amid screams of delight from the
children, by a demonstration of
“How to mow the enemy down with
a Tommy-gun” by Capt. Harry
Kautz of the post ordnance depart­
ment.
At the conclusion of the excite­
ment-filled day the Noti children
all vowed that they would return
to their homes to start a new cam­
paign for the purchase of bonds
and the collecting of scrap so that
they would be sure to be invited
back to Camp Adair for another
day with the army.

Fix of Rommel Rout
The moral to this picture is work hard and get to be an
officer so you can assign yourself to pleasant duties. Seriously,
though, experts declare that Rosemarie Werline’s beautiful red
hair is perfect for hairline precision in bombsights. Lt. Col. J. M.
Fraser. Post Ordnance Officer, examines the tresses. Miss Werline
came all the way from Independence to pose for this Public Rela­
tions photo.

The Army Motion Picture Serv­
ice has scored another hit with the
announcement that the film “Des­
ert Victory” will be shown in camp
in the very near future.
The lives of several cameramen
of the British Eighth Army, the
Royal Navy and the RAF, were
forfeited in the filming of this epic.
These men lost their lives bringing
to you, the retreat of Rommel. In
stark reality, you see just why
Rommel lost 75,000 men, 500 tanks,
600 pieces of artillery, and a thous­
and planes. The terrific punch of
the Eighth Army, the rout of the
Italians at Tripoli, and captured
pictures of the “Fox” himself, all
go to make this the greatest war
picture. It was not staged. It is
the real thing, and there are no
punches pulled.
♦
“Desert Victory” will be shown
at theatres No. 1-2 on May 5 and
6, at No. 3 and 4 on May 7 and 8,
and at No. 5 on May 9 and 10. The

DANCE TONIGHT
Club 1 has invited the Zonta
Club from Salem tonight for their
weekly Latin-American dance. The
girls will eat in the cafeteria. They
will participate in the dance class
at 8 p. m.
For their splendid work in the War Bond effort these 85 (you count ’em) youthful lads and
lasses, ail students of the Noti school, were rewarded this week with a day-long tour of Camp Adair,
which all climaxed when a command car was “Named" in their honor. They had one word for their
trip—“Swell.”

Elaborate USO
Opens Formally
Col. Ferch to Speak;
Chaplain Harmon Will
Offer Invocation at
Big Corvallis Event 1
Hold your hats men. the long*
awaited and much heralded open«
ing of the new Corvallis USO is
now upon us.
No small amount of merry-mak­
ing and celebration will accompany
it. And rightfully so. The new
USO is one of the biggest and most
well equipped that you can find
anywhere.
Although the whole week end is
chock-full of things to do down
there, the formal opening will be
held on Sunday.
On that day, Col. Ferch, Ass’t.
Post Commander, will be among
speakers at formal dedication, after
an invocation delivered by Major
Lloyd V. Harmon, Post Chaplain.
Celemony Broadcast
The whole ceremony will be
broadcast by Radio Station
KOAC, 550 kilocycles.
On the Saturday preceding the
big opening, there will be enough
to do for almost anyone who wishes
to drop in.
Between 3:30 and 5:00, Bob Plat-
ner’s orchestra will play for a
matinee dance, and at 7:30, the
Oregon State Victory Review will
go on, followed by a May Day
dance featuring the Mountaineers
dance band. Plenty of deluscious
gals, and chow. That, by itself,
ought to be enough to make any­
body want to come.

A public notice appeared recent­
ly in the “Burns Times-Herald’*
whose publishers proudly proclaim
that it “Covers Harney County
Like the Sagebrush.”
We quote: “To Whom This May
Concern: I wish to say that anyone
accusing me of making false state­
ments, in obtaining Gasoline Ra­
tioning Coupons, is a Liar, and one
one concerned can contact me at
my home on the 5 mile «ranch or
by appointment. Your for success,
(Signed) M. A. Hodgson.”
The Better ’ole
•
Quoth Cpl. Jerry Van Tonge-
ron, “Nevermore ...
“All I did was step off the
stairs, turn the corner, and it
was so damn dark you couldn’t
see your hand in front of your
face .... al! of a sudden there I
was, right up to my hips in it.”
Thus runs the saga of Van
Tongeron, a corporal in the Mili­
tary Intelligence office at Post
Headquarters. He was return­
ing from the SCU non-com’s club
last Monday night, all decked
out in his best OD’s, when he
stepped off into a mudhole four
feet deep, he said.
