Izease Taken on Civic
Club House for Rest
of Summer Season
Preparations are underway for
the USO to take over the Civic
club house and to start enter
tainment for soldiers there next
Monday. A lease has been taken
on the building for two months,
or enough to consume the balance
of the summer. Beyond that local
officials are unprepared to state
what turn USO affairs will take
in Ashland.
The temporary USO service will
be in charge of Mrs. Helen Small
and Mrs. Penny Fontaine of the
Medford center. Some recreational
equipment has been ordered, such
as badminton and croquet sets
and this is expected to be on hand
by the 10th.
Up to the present, efforts to get
a regularly established USO cen
ter in Ashland have failed, inas
much as high war department of
ficials are not convinced that ex
pense involved in such a set-up
here is not justified and they are
not inclined to give the go-ahead
to the FSA, financial source for
the USO. Those interested in the
local situation are hopeful that
the two-nonths trial will prove
the necessity and feasibility of a
center here and bring about a
change of heart on the part of
the war department.
Ashland’s part in entertaining
the soldiers during the past
month is pointed to by those hav
ing the work in hand as evidence
of the importance of this place as
a recreation center. It is the be
