Recreation Hall
Furnishings Asked
At Camp Heppner
Advent of Recruits
Presents Problem
Of Entertainment
Advent of a considerable number
of soldiers at Camp Heppner this
week again raises the question of
recreation and entertainment. Uni
formed men began arriving Tuesday
and no one knows whether the camp
will be filled or how long they will
stay, but it is intimated that there
will " be soldiers in this vicinity
much of the time from now on.
This is the first group of any size
to occupy the former CCC camp
since during the winter. At that
time agitation for a recreation cen
ter in town failed to stir up much
enthusiasm. There was some in
terest manifested in rigging up the
former CCC recreation hlal, al
though no drive was made for fur
nishings. Heppner and he county
responded to a call for materials to
fit up a center at Boardman when
more than 100 service men were lo
cated at the little town on the
Columbia.
Opinion expressed by some local
people interested in fitting up a
recreation center in town or in
the camp is to the effect that it
would be an easier task if it were
known how regularly troops will
be sent here. Regardless of this
fact an effort is being made to as
semble a few articles for the camp
recreation hall to help the boys
pass the time when off duty. Some
of the items urgently needed are
reading and writing tables, daven
ports, chairs, magazines games,
phonograph, radio and lamps. This
is standard equipment in most re
creation halls and since there is no
fund to be used for providing these
things it is put up to Mr. and Mrs
John Q. Citizen to search garrett
and storeroom for them.
A piano was donated by Mrs.
Rose Francis last winter. There is
a limited amount of furnishings in
the hall, enough, perhaps, for the
maintenance crew but not enough
for a company or more of soldiers.
Man's Back Broken
In 24-foot Fall
Ira Britt. workman at the Hepp
ner Lumber mill, suffered a brok
en back when he fell 24 feet from
the roof of the mill and struck a
small timber on the ground.. The
accident occurred Tuesday. A plat
form support gave way causing
the man to pitch headlong from the
platform upon which he watt
working
Britt was brought to Dr. A. D.
McMurdo's office and then taken to
Heppner hospital for an x-ray
which revealed that his back was
broken. He was taken to a Portland
hospital for treatment.
The state accident commission was
contacted and Britt was taken to a
specialist recommended by the
board.
