PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1942. OF Chaplain E. A. Rein of Camp White addressed the Lions' club noon meeting Wednesday at Hotel Medford Chaplain Rein, who is a major and command ing chaplain at the camp, stated that stress is being given spiri tual development among trainees throughout the posts of the nation. A new departure, as compared with World war I, is the erection of chapels, and the giving of the chaplains' al most undivided attention to spiritual matters. "A vigorous and efficient ar my," he said, "is dependent upon good moral conduct, which is be ing thoroughly recognized by our leaders. Efforts are being taken to make it easier for the man in service to lead a moral and spiri tual life. "Spiritual leadership Is pro vided with the thought of avoid ing all sectarianism, within dif ferent religious faiths. Worship facilities are provided for all our large groups, such as Pro testant, Jewish and Catholic. "A chaplain's duties include maintenance of high morale in sofar as his contacts will permit; to put at ease the minds of re cruits who may be worrying about domestic or personal mat ters; to provide a spiritual tonic to ail who will accept it Chaplain Rein said oftentimes it was not the soldier whose prob lem was greatest, but that of the wife and children left at home, The chaplain spoke highly of the moral standards he had en countered in his previous as signments and in reports he had gathered from camps elsewhere. Indoor tennis sets, reading tables, card tables, old chairs, sofas things that might be re habilitated are needed for the camp recreational rooms until such time as the army can pro- vide them with standard equip ment, the chaplain said.
