Donations Sought for Entertainment Center Morrow county haa been' given an opportunity to participate in soldier entertainment on its own account. A soldier recreation room is being set up at Boardman and through the local chapter of the Red Cross the entire county is be ing invited, to assist. It is not ex pected that people over this way will actually take part in entertain ing the soldiers, although such a thing is not beyond possibility, but they are being asked to help equip the room by donating articles of furniture. Such items as davenports, com fortable chairs, straight chairs, desks, tables of all kinds, lamps, ash stands, mirrors and pictures for wall, scatter rugs, phonograph records, books, magazines and games. Cash donations will be used for the purchase of curtains, re pairs, and other necessary things not donated, including newspaper subscriptions.

The program, scheduled to start at 8 o'clock, or iginally was set for ,Nov. 20. The amateur hour is divided into two sections, junior and senior. All participants under 15 years of age will be placed in the junior divi sion and all 15 and over will be given senior rating.

Five Chrysler employees have been car-sharing since 1937 cutting transportation expenses 80 percent of their 80-mdle daily round-trip to work. The Chickamaugua National park in Tennessee gave 8,000 cannon balls and all unessential markers and plaques to the national scrap drive. A survey of 50 typical New Jer sey farms gave an average of more than one ton of scrap per farm. If this average were maintained throughout the country, the na tion's farms are capable of yielding at least six million tons of scrap. ner. Arnold Sharp, former local baker now performing the same type of service for Uncle Sam in the navy, writes Mr. and Mrs. Mark Merrill that he has been transferred from Port Angeles to Pacific Beach, Wash. tion room is under direction of the Blue Mountain Camp and Hos pital Council, which has supervis ion of recreation rooms at Pusco, Pendleton and Walla Walla. Sixty members of a bombing squadron are located at Boardman. Recreation facilities of the little community are limited and it is es sential that speciat entertainment be provided for these men. Unfor tunately, the government is not in position to furnish recreation and' entertainment and the work and much of the financing falls upon the centers affected. It is expected that Boardman will do its share, even more, but the people of the little community cannot assume the entire burden. It is hoped, that the rest of the county will come through handsomely on this as has been done on bond sales and scrap drives. If that is done, it is pointed out, the Boardman center will be one of the best in this area.
