MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 1942. PAGE THREE IS OFFERED HERE Remodeling of Houses to Provide For More Family Units is Urged. The flood of inquiries pouring In to the Jackson County Cham ber of Commerce from officers and civilian personnel connected with the new Medford canton ment here indicate an acute shortage of houses and family unit apartments will soon be felt locally. The imminent need of housing facilities has prompted an immediate effort to provide accommodations for the many i families soon to arrive in this city. In discussion the housing situ ation faced by this community, chamber of commerce officials point out that the chance of financing new home construc- . tion by the government or by private capital is remote as far as a general building program is concerned. The approximate increase in families is known at this time and the anticipated demand for housing will make necessary the immediate remod eling of houses already con structed to provide one or more added family units. Funds Available While FHA funds will not be available for new construction, money will be available for this rehabilitation of existing houses, i according to information receiv- ' d here. To further encourage the establishment of added fam ily units in houses already erected here, the restrictions on critical building materials will be relaxed. Post-war surveys In other can tonment centers revealed the need for furnished rooms in military areas. Since Pearl Har bor the picture has changed, chamber of commerce officials point out. Cantonment worker? who were single were quickly called into the armed forces and much of the building job was left to family men. The same factors will af fect this community when Camp White - is manned by civilians, s o 1 d le r a and officers. Civilian workers connected with the camp will, in most instances, be married men and women and their require I merits will demand houses or " family units. Further construc tion on the Medford airport will render the situation here even more critical. As a service to home owners here and in an effort to fully cooperate with Camp White offi cials, the Jackson County Cham ber of Commerce has offered it: facilities as a clearing house be tween home owners and house seekers. Those who have houses in this city adapted to conver sion to family units are asked to contact the chamber or any of Medford's lumber dealers so that needed remodeling may be undertaken without delay. An expert will immediately call and offer reliable information as to approximate cost of convert ing house into two or more family units. , VOLUNTEERSSELL Many war bonds and stamps have been sold during the past two weeks by a corps of volun teer workers in the theatres each night and Saturdays at the banks and public booths located on the Medford streets and in the busi ness establishments.

BOY-GIRLS' CAMP PLAN TAKE SHAPE With the weather giving every Indication of falling Into its nor mal groove, plans are rapidly being fulfilled for the annual Salvation Army Summer Camp for Boys and Girls at Lake O The Woods. Last year the Salvation Army Summer camp was held at the Boy Scout camp. However, this year, by the co-operation of the Rogue River National Forest the camp will be held at the CCC camp on the east side of the lake. The entire facilities of the CCC camp have been turned over for the Salvation Army New buildings have been erect ed, roads have been cleared, and everything is being placed In readiness for the needy young sters of this community. A squad of CCC boys has been spending the past several days at the campgrounds, working under the supervision of Adjutant Chas. Cox. In taking over the entire camp, innumerable difficulties have ensued. Most of them have already been surmounted but there still remains a lack of equipment to thoroughly equip the camp. Kerosene lanterns, and lamps, mattresses (three quarters or full size), folding cots, quilts, blankets, towels, pillows and pillow cases are all needed. Also needed Is sick room equipment for emergencies: first aid kits, small tables, etc. Mirrors .wash pans, buckets, wash boards and, if posible, an electric washing machine are among other items that can be used. Pots, pans, kettles, frying pans, skillets, biscuit pans, roll ing pins, paring and butcher knives, graters, meat saw, cleav ers and kitchen items of that nature can all be used. Playground equipment such as balls, bats, gloves, mitts, footballs, tennis balls and nets, swings, ping pong tables and rackets are needed for recre ational activities. And such items as axes, rakes, hoes, saws, ham mers, table vice, chisels, augers and bits would be welcomed to help keep the buildings In re pair. Those wishing to contribute any of the above articles to help furnish the camp are re quested to bring the articles to the Salvation Army hall at 4th and Bartlett streets or, if that Is Impossible, to call Adjutant Cox at 4230.
