Several of us guys have be­
come rather lax in the way we
dress when we go over to the
Service Clubs, the hostesses
maintain. During the week, when
you just want to plain relax,
its OK to make yourself com­
fortable, but when social func­
tions (dances, etc.) are in prog­
ress, wear a regulation uniform.
If you prefer a suntan shirt . . .
then wear your blouse. OD shirt
and trousers are permissable
without a blouse.

the McMinnville High School seniors andto be presented to Camp
Adair audiences next Sunday afternoon and evening at Theater

Matting and frame making for the art works to be exhibited
in Portland commencing the first week in July, will get underway this
week at the Soldier-Artist Workshop conducted nightly in Club 1
under direction of Cpl. Don Lynch.
“Artists at Camp Adair” has been selected as the title of the show
which will be staged at the Portland Art Museum under the supervis­
ion of Robert Tyler Davis, museum director.
Preliminary exhibits of the works to be shown in Portland, will be
placed in both camp libraries in a couple of weeks, Cpl. Lynch says.
Meanwhile, artists making the workshop their headquarters, are get­
ting their works ship-shape for the approaching show, now less than
a month away.
Titles for entries should be submitted before June 17 and all works
to be shown should be in the workshop no later than June 22.
Soldiers returning from bivouac have made sketch notes which they
are now transferring into color, and several landscapes have been fin­
ished. Typical Oregon farmland scenes, as-exist between Camp Adair
and any of the surrounding municipalities, have been reproduced by
several of the artists.
