County's Part in
Hospital and Camp
Work Summarized
By Mrs. Ralph Thompson
The approach of the new year is
a good time to glance back and re
view the work accomplished by the
Morrow county committee for the
Blue Mt. Camp and Hospital coun
cil. Starting with the first of July,
at which time we had collected al
most $1700, we have given the fol
lowing gifts to McCaw General hos
ital: one small piano, one radio
phonograph, $55 given for small
rugs for sun rooms and $150 given
to provide chairs for these rooms;
$100 given to furnish material for
several projects the patients use as
pastime. This money is being spent
at this time for cord to weave rugs,
for games, for records, for felt to
make toys and for everything else
necessary to help these boys amuse
themselves. Also the sum of $200
was allowed to refurnish day rooms
at Pendleton Field and $50 was giv
en towards providing furniture for
sun rooms at Pasco Naval station.
Besides these sums of money the
people in all parts of the county
have given books, records and
games. About 70 pillows and pads
were given as well as foot stools,
electric fans, plant and plant stands,
afghans, used musical instruments,
playing cards, puzzles and many oth
er articles.
To make Christmas brighter for
the boys in the wards at the four
hospitals which the council supplies
the people in this county filled 130
Christmas bags, and filled them so
generously we all should be proud
of our part. Besides these the girls
in C. D. Conrad's office bought and
wrapped enough gifts for 15 bags
for WACs and 10 bag for WAVES
at Pasco Naval station. Money for
these gifts came from the commit
tee funds. We have been able to get
55 pounds of Christmas candy for
McCaw and Paco. Due to a very
generous gift from Mrs. Frank An
derson we were able to give these
extra gifts at that time. Another
useful gift was two subscriptions to
Hygia Health magazine to the dis
pensery at Pasco Naval station. This
was a request from the field direc
tor as he wished his corpsmen to
gain much needed knowledge and
this was supplied through the kind
nes of Fred Wehmeyer. The com
mittee also sent a year's subscrip
tion to Science News for the sta
tion at Pasco.
We are trying to conserve our
funds as much as possible and still
supply the necesary things at Mc
Caw and Pasco. We are giving a
$5 check each month to the ward
for the hopelessly insane at McCaw
and the same amount to the birth
day party fund at McCaw. This
month we made these checks for
$10 each and asked that something
be done to cheer these insane boys
as well as "provide Chritmas wrap
pings for patients to use in prepar
ing their gifts. Here are two things
the boys use, balls of sewed rags to
make braided rugs and small wood
en boxes. Each patient' has a small
table at the head o f his bed to hold
all his personal belongings and
they like these boxes, about the
size of a cigar box but of heavier
wood as they decorate them with
burning or carving pictures. McCaw
needs many chairs in the sun rooms
as so many were given that are un
comfortable and many are worn
out Old furniture does not stand
too much wear. If any in our county
failed to help in giving funds to the
committee or would like to make
an extra gift tq McCaw, a 'chair
would be most acceptable. But I
want to assure you that everything
we have done has been deeply ap
preciated and our county is receiv
ing so many, many thanks from all
the field directors and from all the
boys.

I IKE all other living things, trees have a youth, 8
J maturity, and an old age.
Forest trees which give us our lumber, our pulpwood,
plywood, and countless other daily necessities, produce
most useful wood in their early and middle life.
Good forestry and good management calls for harvest
ing mature trees before decay sets in and makes them less
valuable to the nation, creating a breeding place for
destructive insects and disease.
Good forest management creates a cycle of contfauotH
tree crops. That is the basis on which this company operates
with an eye on today ... an eye on tomorrow.
