Members of the post team will have their own uniforms and will represent Camp Abbot in off-the-post con­ tests.

The building is well heated. And no admission fee is charged. The recreation program for patients of the Camp Abbot Sta­ tion Hospital gained momentum this week following the arrival of two Red Cross recreation aides, Miss Olive Greaves of San Luis Obispo, Cal., pricipal aide, and Mrs. Ruth Charlton of Riverside, Cal., her assistant. New entertainment features of the program will include the showing of two moving pictures each week, the staging of a min­ strel show, under the supervis­ ion of Miss Greaves, and intro­ duction of an arts and crafts pro­ gram, it was announced. Mater­ ial for the latter activity has been ordered and is expected to arrive within a month. The pro­ gram will include the making of belts and Christmas cards and woodworking. Shuffleboard and badminton courts as well as table tennis equipment were added to the Red Cross recreation hall's sports facilities recently. Other new members o f the Red Cross hospital staff, headed by Miss Lorraine Anderson, as­ sistant field director, are Miss Elizabeth LeFeber, claims and referral staff aide, and Miss Ger­ trude Pearl, social worker.
