CONYALESCENT SOLDIERS ARE
GIVEN A RIVER TRIP

The hospital service committee of
the Jacksonville War Camp Commu-
nifty Service, of which Frank o. Miller
IS chairman, yesterday gave it's regu-
lar weekly trip to the convalsecent
soldiers, nurses and medical CORPS of
the Base Hospital at Camp Johnston.
About 200 were taken on board the
Steamer Magnolia for a ride on the
tropical ST. Johns River The re-
freshment committee with Mrs. W. T.
Oliver, chairman, assisted by several
other women, looked we'll after the
comforts of the men. The Army Doc
tors speak very highly Of these trips
and say it is the finishing touch for
the men to be restored to the ranks
after their illness. It was interesting
that the trip yesterday was the 21st of
its kind since the work started in Feb
uary, during which time over 5000
convalescent soldiers have enjoyed
these outings. The following items of
food have been furnished on these
trips, 900 fruit pies, 500 loaves of
bread, 100 lbs of butter, 325 pounds
of ham, 5000 bottles of iced milk and
1900 pounds of potato salad.
This will give some idea of the self
sacrificing work of Mrs. w. T. Oliver,
chairman, and Mrs. T. p. Sweet, vice
chairman, of the refreshment commit
tee, and the splendid corps of work
ers assisting them.
