"JV5TICE GRANTS TO ALL A-VOICE-' TIME TO WASH. Editor The Caduceus: Dear Sir: “Cleanliness may he next to Godliness,” but from the attitude of who ever has control of the Camp Greene water supply doesn’t seem to think so. At least that is the impres sion that he would convey to the minds of the hoys at the base hospital. Almost every morning between the hours of 6:30 a. m. and 9 or 9:30 the water is promptly shut off in the bar racks and the men that still retain some desire to maintain a cleanly ap pearance and follow their former cus tom of washing in the morning before breakfast or at least before proceeding to their dally work are compelled to postpone their pleasure until they are able to find the spare time later in the day when the water may be turn ed on. I am sure that all the men of the base hospital will agree with me in this that if it is necessary to shut oif the supply of water to the hospital at some time during the day why not wait an hour or so and give the men an opportunity to wash. Either keep the pump down in the camp in operation for that eriod or at least turn the water on from the tank. The boys would apreclate this. Sincerely, C. R., « Base Hospital. CAN RENT PAVILION. THE CADUCEUS STATE CONVENTION. FOR UNITED WAR-WORK CAM PAIGN. At Raleigh, the capital of North Car olina, on Firday and Saturday, Sep tember 20th and 21st, was held a strik ingly American Conference. Charlotte and Camp Greene, like other camps and surrounding communities, were re presented by delegates from all the seven war-work organizations—the .Y. M. C. A. the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board, the Y. W. C. A. the War-Camp Community Service, the American Library Association, and the Salvation Army. There hundred representatives, needless of creed or former affilia tions, assembled as united servants of our American and allied soldiers over there and over here. This unity of action and feeling came as a response to President Woodrow Wilson’s request that all war workers unite heartily in service for our men and combine their cam paign for funds to one united ef fort. The funds sought to provide for all branches of this united service for one year is the largest amount ever set in history to be- raised lor humanitarism activities, $170,500,000.- 00 in all. The campaign is to be con ducted November 11th to 18th and those attending the State Convention speak in unanimous praise of the spirit of real Americanism back of the pro ject the most harmonious and success ful as well as most gigantic campaign ever conducted in this country or any other. We should emphasize the slogan, “NORTH.. CAROLINA—BRIGHTEN AND CHEER THE BOYS WHILE THEY BATTLE FOR VICTORY.” KEEP IT UP. Public Forum Editor: 1 think it is a great idea to have the Fourth Liberty loan driven home by constant use of the term “Yours for the Fourth Liberty Loan” at the end of all business and personal let ters. That terminal for every letter brings the loan to notice every time a letter is read and written. It makes the great patriotic movement a per sonal matter to all. I believe The Caduceus should call attention to this in its Liberty Loan Issue. “Yours for the Fourth Liberty Loan,” The War-Comp Community Service announces that the open-air pavilion at the Soldiers’ Club, may be rented for a nominal sum to military organi zations wishing to give a benefit en tertainment or an invitation dance. Application for the pavllian should be made to H. L. Brundage, director of the Soldiers’ Club, 616 South Tryon street, telephone No. 2050. Mondays and Thursdays are the open nights at the club, Tuesday, Wednesdays and Saturdays beitig reserved for free dances and the dancing class for sol diers. MASTERFUL CON CERT The ability of American army re cruits to conduct themselves like vet- rans was never better exemplefied than by the performance of the mus ical concert of the Fourth Recruit camp at the Auditorium, Thursday night. That organizations has been to gether about a week and their ex ecution of such numbers as Hirscb s “Opera Comlque” marked them as a concert orchestra of the first class. Private Abraham I. Mennin, of the Fourth Recruit camp and late of New York city, where he enjoyed an ex tensive reputation as a musician, was leader of the orchestra and has shown much interest in his work. It is to be hoped that the musical organiza tion remains at Camp Greene for some time as the promise is one of the best bands and orchestras of any military camp. DISCHARGED. Talk about happy hoys, you should have seen one Eddie Lofgren, when he was handed his discharge papers from the army, the other day. Eddie s health has been poor lately and the physicians decided that ^ was about the best thing that they could do for him. Jewelry and Watches The kind that make an ideal gift.
