Dress ier of Portland. vice-Dresident. Jack Creager of the local office also assisted in completing ar- 1 rangements. , Union Men Help Through cooperation of local j labor unions and Frank J. Runtz. ! the building is being completely renovated and redecorated. Union plasterers and carpenters are busy converting the build ing into a recreation center and Runtz will do the tinting. The lower floor will serve as the recreation area, the upper floor i as the offices for the WPA staff consisting of Mrs. Marjorie Pena, recreational technician, j Miss Margaret Achterman, pro- i gram director; Mrs. Florence Stacy, secretary and Forest Noble, area recreational techni cian working on the recreation al program at Camp White.

Senior leaders are Mrs. Norris Porter, Mrs. Clarence Drummond, Mrs. Glenn Gibbons and Mrs. Victor Sether. Girls over 18 wishing to ' volunteer as junior assistants re asked to get in touch with Mrs. Jackson. WPA Thanked Mrs. Carpenter, stressing the necessity for recreational facili ties when Camp White's soldier populace becomes complete sev eral weeks hence, expressed gratitude to the WPA in pro viding the staff to operate the hall, at no cost to the city. The building's decorations will carry the pine tree, insignia of the 91st Infantry Division at Camp White, and references will frequently be made to the eight western states, from which men of the 91st were drawn. Cities in these states have been con tacted for pictures and other materials to be used in giving the building a home-like appear ance, and efforts are being made to obtain home-town newspa pers for the men. Many active committees are now engaged in developing plans for recreation for soldiers and others, Mrs. Carpenter said, listing the following: Mrs. Mary Simonds. canteen; E. W.
