Men And Civilian Morale.
A variety of project have
been sponsored by the Jackson
County Recreation committee,
entered on the budget of the
Medford Community Chest for

of the committee more than two
years ago. Among the projects

ter for negro troops and several
smaller projects. Currently the
committee is sponsoring an in
vestigation of teen age recrea
tion problems In Medford.
It is pointed out by chest of
ficials that since the activities
of the committee are so diverse,
and since some projects need
more financial assistance than
others, funds allocated from the
chest will not be earmarked.
This Main Projects
. Three largest projects spon
sored by the committee last year
were the Outpost, the MarKade
and the Wing In. Newest of
these is the MarKade, recreation
center for enlisted servicemen
and wives housed in the new
wing of St. Mark's. Episcopal
church on North Oakdale Ave
Attendance at the center has
averaged nearly 2,000 men a
month for the three months of
operation, ' according to the
director, Mrs. Lillian Hinman.
The center is equipped with all
manner of recreational facilities
and in addition dances are given
twice a week and informal musi
cal events are planned. A group
El of 40 women serve as volunteer
I senior hostesses and 40 young
women, known as Markettes, at
tend dances ana omerwise assist
with the program. Wives are as
sisted with housing problems
and in finding employment
The Outpost has served a
double purpose since its estab
lishment, being used as a recrea
tion center for enlisted men un
til opening of the new USO on
Riverside avenue. Since that
tune, June, the Outpost has been
converted to the use of junior
army officers, army nurses,
W A C officers and officers'
wives.
Outpost Popular .
The Outpost plans dances and
musicals, a bridge luncheon is
given one afternoon a week, a
lending library is maintained
and there is a fine collection of
records. The men use the center
as a place to meet friends and
dates, read, write letters, press
cipthes and in a variety of other
manners while the wives use
the center for Red Cross meet
ings, as an information bureau,
a bousing bureau and a general
center for social activities. An
average of 75 officers, 35 wives
and 30 civilians visit the club
dally, according to the director,
Mrs. I. E. Schuler.
One of the oldest projects of
the committee is the airport can
teen. Wing In, which has been
in operation about two years
and has now a reputation among
hundreds of army aviators who
write to praise the excellent
food and cheerful hospitality,
The little canteen Is run for the
benefit of military personnel
only, both enlisted men and of
ficers, and food is served at cost,
Volunteer help keeps the can
teen in operation from 10 a. m
until 10 p. m. daily and hundreds
of meals are served each week
Since airports are traditionally
known among aviators as having
poor eating facilities, Jackson
county's Wing In is considered
unique.
