FOR COMING OF
A recruiting campaign for
civil employes of all classifica
tions and skills was ordered Sat
urday for Camp White by Col.
John R. Young, camp command
er. A large number of workers,
both men and women, will be
needed, the commander said,
due to the anticipated early in
crease in activities at the big
military post.
It is believed that Camp White
is destined to play a major role
in the coming transfer of men
from the European front to the
Pacific and that the order for
preparation of facilities here is
In line with war department
plans for this movement. Al
though date of arrival of the
troops was pot revealed, it was
learned that accommodations
will be made available for as
many as 26,000 officers and men.
Plenty of Room
Such a largo influx would not
over-tax the camp housing capa
city, although a greatly augment
ed civilian staff will be required
to man the various stores, offices
and other facilities necessary in
handling the troops. During the
divioion training .programs early
in the camp's history over 30,
nnn irnnm wore stationed there
at times. Since departure of the
fldth. last division to train here
ih, r.-imn occunancv has been
comparatively small with Ger
man prisoners of war and their
guards making up a large por
lion of tne total.
Thu mntlnr of hmjsin for ad
ditional civilian employes and
those who may follow the sol
diers here, will present a more
difficult problem, however. Med-

ford and neighboring towns
have continued to experience
crowded conditions ever since
the start of building of Camp
White. This condition was some
what ameliorated with departure
of the training divisions but the
war-spurred activity in lumber
ing and other industries and the
presence of several hundred
soldiers, at Camp White and the
army air field here have kept
Medford well filled.
Spar Rooms Needed
A housing survey conducted
by the Camp White public rela
tions office last week and figures
furnished by the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce show
approximately 2,000 to 2.500
places available in this area, it
was said. A much larger nunv
ber can be accommodated if
those having spare rooms will
make them available, the cham
ber pointed out.

Adler Construction Co., of
Seattle has been awarded the
contract to construct an 8,
200.000 gallon reservoir for the
city of Medford. Water Superin
tendent Robert Duff said yester
day. Terms of the contract call
for construction to begin within
10 days after signing the con
tract, which will probably be
done Monday, and completion
within 200 days.
The Adler bid was $140,800
without a roof and $101,440 with
9 rosf. Because needed priorities
could not be obtained for the
roof at this time, it will be con
structed without a roof, Duff
said. Guerin Brothers of San
Francisco were low bidders with
a figure of $138,407.50 but were
not awarded the contract be
cause they failed to write in a
completion date.
Construction of the reservoir
will not place, an extra burden
on water users, Duff said, for the
money already has been secured
from past water fees. Much of
the money came from supplying
Carr.p White with water.
It is the intention of the Med
ford Water Commission to build
the reservoir just east of the
present south reservoir on Capi
tal Hill. Removal of approxi
mately 17 000 cubic yards of
rock and 5.000 yards of earth
will be necessary and 720 feet of
16-inch and 870 feet of 24-inch
pipe will be required.
Construction of the new reser
voir will help to lift the ever
present threat of water shortage
which would follow a possible
major break in the 30-mile-long
supply line from Big Butte
springs at the foot of Mount Pit.
A break in the line at the peak
of summer consumption would
leave only a half-day's supply.
under present limited conditions.
Duff said.
CALL TABLE ROCK
SKEETER MEETING
Table Rock, June 2 A meet
ing has been called by the Mos
quito Control association for
Tuesday night at the Tabic Rock
school to map plans for combat
ting the mosquito scourge. An
association spokesman declared
the meeting holds interest for
everyone in the community and
should be well attended.
Some form of assessment will
be voted on and someone chosen
to take charge of actual opera
tions in destroying breeding
places of the pests, it was stated.
"Those of us who went mrougn
the terrific mosquito onslaught
of last year, the worst by far in
the district's history, are de
termined that this must not hap
pen again," the association
spokesman said. "Some of our
public spirited citizens put in
considerable time last year in
eradication work and some are
working ut present, but this can
not be handled by just a few. It
calls for united action.
"Everyone is concerned and
should contribute their part, not

Dave Osborn Sends
Card From Japan
A message received Friday by
Mrs. Dave Osborn of the Griffin
Creek district was the first di
rect word from her husband
since before Pearl Harbor and
the fall of Wake Island and stat
ed that the young man is a
prisoner of the Japanese at Ku-.
Kuoka camp on the mainland.
Osborn was on Wake Island with

The message was checked on
a form and stated that Osborn
was well and hoped to be home
soon and was signed in his own
handwriting.
