Well in 5th War
Loan Campaign
Adair has NOT. gone over the
top as yet, but is coming gratify-
ingly clo«e in its part of the 5th
War Loan drive, such figures as
were available to late yesterday,
indicated.
None of the figures fer the mili­
tary are ready for release, but the
civilian personnel, whose record is
indicatory, has achieved a splendid
mark in the less than two weeks
of the drive, which closes July 31.
Two particular civilian groups
were lauded — the laundry em­
ployees and the Post Guards. Both
stand 100 percent in pay roll deduc­
tions. Each has topped the de«ired
15 per cent of pay-roll. And both
departments operate on a smaller
average wage sei '»• than several
other Post civilian units whose bat­
ting average in t; <■ current cam­
paign is much below the expected.

"The biggest thing of its
kind ever held at Camp
Adair,” was the consensus
from thousands of GIs who
heard the morning ceremonies,
marched in the mid-morning
parade, ate turkey at special
unit dinners at noon, attended
baseball games and or ate
birthday cake with the
Port land Rose Queen in
the afternoon, and danced in the
strertx at night.
