ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM CAMP PIKE
Newsy Notes of the Various Activi-
ties at the Arkansas Training
Camp.
By Erwin Funk.
Camp Publicity Secretary.


Camp Pike, June 3.-Red Cross rep
resentatives at Camp Pike are super
ntendending the erection of large
frame building at the Base Hospital
that viii not only be available for the
use of convalescent soldiers, but that
will furnish a stopping place for Wis
tors who wish to be near relatives
who are seriously i'll in the hospital
These rooms, however, will be furnish
ed only to aged or infirm relatives
who could not possibly make the trip
from the city and are not for gen.
eral use. The building is in the form
of a cross and is 100 feet each way
Most of the space in the main build
ing is to be used as reading, writing
and lounging room.
Likewise the Hostess House, con-
Quoted by the Y. W. c. A., is enlarg-
ing it's quarters and making ready to
accommodate more visitors. With
warmer weather, more relatives are
coming to the camp all the time, and
there is also the increasing certain
ty that the men will be moving east
ward sooner or later, and the men in
cline to the sooner view of the mat
ter. Hence more requests for fur
loughs and more visits from the folks
at home. Likewise more letters, more
long distance telephone calls and more
weddings The spirit of unrest is
very evident in the camp these warm
June days.
There are many candidates for the
honor Of being the meanest man in
camp but Shockley says it's the fell
low that buns a stamp from you to
put on the letter he is writing to your
best girl.
Four Army Y. NJ. c. A. secretaries
and five State Representatives were
detailed to meet and accompany the
many special trains last week that
were bringing the new selective draft
men to Camp It gave the newcom-
crs a fire chance to ask hundreds Of
queries with regard to conditions in
the camp So they could in small
measure at least be prepared for the
new life that vas Sc seen to confront
them. They also assisted in handling
the men AT meal tines, in comforting
the homesick ones. and in Quieting
some that were inclined to be noisy.
1t was che Of the biggest lines Of
special work that the Y. Nj. G. A. has
undertaken in this state.
Now that the weather is hot and
sultry. the folks at home should re-
frain from sending perishable food to
the soldiers n Camp Pike, either by
express CT parcel post A visit 70 the
express office where one could secure
a sample of the 3dors that are all too
frequent evidence of the folly Of at
tempting to send the bows eats" at
this season Of the year. There are 50
many reasons why the packages may
be DELAYED from tEo TO four days on
longer after reaching camp that il is
