The new special services chief replaces Marvin Kahn, who wag transferred to her for mer post at Oakland VA hospi tal. She has learned much of the inner working of her depart ment in the two weeks she has been on the Job here. "I am especially impressed with the number and variety of activities especially those organ ized and conducted by the mem bers themselves," Mrs. Raines declared in an interview. Such undertakings as the Rock dub, the Bridge club, and the Stamp and Fishing clubs re ceived her hearty endorsement "I would also like to see a Singing club or Barber Shop Quartet idea started along with the other musical activities of the members. There should be some good voices among all the men who are here," she sug gested. The chief, a former lieutenant commander in the Navy, also thought well of the member par ticioation in the special details and assignments of the camp, in cluding the publication of the monthly magazine Dominews, which is under her supervision. Increasing Interest Mrs. Raines is moving slowly but surely in the direction of animating and increasing the interest and facilities for the cul tivation of hobbies and crafts and other means of keeping oc cupied. "It is not only at Camp White but everywhere else today that the problem of what to do with leisure time is presented," she observed. "Many people have gone through their lives without de veloping any special interest to occupy their time when they re tire, or find need for something to do when they are busy other wise. "This business of what to do with leisure is most important One reason so many business men do not live long after they retire is because they have nev- Mrs. Mary F.
