A HINT OR TWO TO THE
RECREATION CAMP
Committee For Looking After Visiting
Soldiers May Heed Suggestion
Made By One Of Them

Yesterday afternoon one of the sol
diers from Camp Meade. not drafted
man, but one of the regular army men.
dopped into this Office He had
twenty-four-hour furlough. and was
spending it in Annapolis He wanted
TO know something about the place.
Among the many questions asked
was, "Is there rest room for visiting
soldiers fro mCamp Meade?"
The Bureau of Information at the
Capital office was not quite sure, but
told the man the Governor had sug-
gested the State Armory, but whether
the committee on the Recreation
Camp, etc, etc. or the National Coun-
Gil of Defense. etc. etc. had taken
charge had not been made public.
The Camp Meade soldier-visitor had
some very god ideas. He said it would
be fine thing if the committee would
supply cots and blankets for the men
visitors, that they might get nights
lodging at the armory for % cents.
No man. he said, would object to pay
ing 25 cents for a cot and blanket TO
sleep over night
The visitor said hundreds of men
would come here from Camp Meade
on furlough and all would want to
stay over night He gave as the rea-
son that Camp Meade is 81 miles
square, that any man who reports
there at midnight after his furlough
would have to walk five or six miles
to his quarters, and he would not feel
like doing this,
He further said no man asks or is
granted furlough or leave less than
"a hours, and he must spend the night
somewhere. Again. he said, shower
baths should be supplied, and
charge of five 5 cents made for the
privilege of a bath, The cots at 25
cents and the shower bath at nickel
would soon pay for themselves, and
the visitor said this was the custom in
all other places near which large can
tonments or camps are located.
He gave this hint or two upon be-
ing questioned as to the needs and re-
quirements of visiting soldiers from
Camp Meade, and the suggestions are
offered stetlie 9lsereation Camp Coun-
Gil for National Defense for what they
are worth.
