Providing a recreation hall
for men in the armed forces and
offices for WPA personnel who
will staff the facility, the old
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
building on West Sixth street
will be opened in the near fu
ture by the Jackson County Rec

fred S. V. Carpenter, chairman,
announced at the meeting of her
board this week.
The building, Mrs. Carpenter
explained, has been loaned to
the committee for this purpose
by the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company. She ex
pressed the committee's deep ap
preciation to the company and
to the officials who came to
Medford to complete the plans.
They were N. R. Powley of San
Francisco, president; F. A. Dress
ier of Portland. vice-Dresident.
Jack Creager of the local office
also assisted in completing ar- 1
rangements. ,

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

cian working on the recreation
al program at Camp White.

tertaining the soldiers will be a
group of Junior assistants, simi
lar to junior hostesses of the i
USO. Chairman of the commit
tee to obtain the junior assist
ants is Mrs. Glenn L. Jackson,
assisted by Mrs. E. H. Janney,
Mrs. E. C. Jerome and 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
