Camp Abbot Ore., Mar. 25, 1944 Civilian Workers Form Association A new association of the civil ian employees of Camp Abbot is rapidly approaching the stages of final organization, according to an announcement by J. J. O’Donnell, Civilian Personnel head. "The purpose of the organ ization,” he said, “covers a wide field of endeavor.” The succes- ful prosecution of the war ef fort; a promotion of good will and fellowship throughout the post; the improvement of work ing conditions and facilities; an outlet for social and recreational activities, and the relief of civil ian personnel in emergencies are some of the aims of the club. Any civilian employee on the post is automatically a member and, at present, there are no dues. The treasury already boasts a modest surplus derived from the organization’s two social functions, and plans are afoot to open a clubroom or re creational hall in Bend. “We are all set,” said O’Don nell, “except for one thing. We need a name for the organiza tion.” A prize of ten dollars is offer ed for the suggestion by any civilian employee of a suitable name. Tentatively, the organiza tion is called The Camp Abbot Civilian Employees Association. Suggestions should be submit ted to J. J. O’Donnell, Civilian Personnel, Headquarters build ing. Elected as officers of the new organization are: Mrs. Margaret Keith, president; Milo Cooper of Civilian Guard, vice-president; Mrs. Louise Lee, secretary, and Mary (Pat) Boles, treasurer. Acting in an advisory capacity on the Board of Governors are Rose L. Strathdee and J. J. O'Donnell. Notes From B - 52 B y P vt. A lfred M.

Psychiatrist CHURCH RITES Faith (Continued from rage One) • • « camp tor building a man physic ally. “However, there is another kind of training that is just as important as physical training. This training to which I refer is, ‘Training the Soul of Faith in God.’ Put the faith of God in your men, and you will have a soldier. Without that faith, a man lives in • fear. God created the ground upon which Camp Abbot is located. He created the men that are training here. He gave us our soul, and the power to think. He is the only one who knows when you will die; or when I shall die. If God can create a machine such as man He also has the power to save or let that man be destroyed by the enemy. All the training that I can get here at Camp Abbot, or any other training camp, is not going to bring me back from the war without the Grace of God. "When I took the oath to be come a soldier, I made the sign of the Cross before doing so. I came into this army to do the will of God.
