Aid To A AFReturnees Talkedln USO Course The mission of Camp Davis and the part Wilmington may play in the recretaional program at the AAF re-Distribution Station and Convalescent Hospital, were dis eussed at the first retpesher course of the USO volunteers, this week at the Sorosis building. Presiding over tne meeting was D. M. Darden, of the USO coun cil, who gave praise to the services of the volunteers, reminding them that the new problems ahead would require patience and many hours of service. Major Frank E. C'onant, chief of Intelligence and Security division, Camp Davis, introduced Lt. Charles Moxhay; public relations officer, who spoke on the purpose of redistribution and convalescence and defined the returnee. “One of the most important thoughts in everyone’s mind right now is the fellow overseas and what is going to happen to him when he returns,” L,t. Moxhay said. “We, at Camp Davis, are very much concerned about this fellow for we are to process men in the air forces who are returned, both for a rest or for convalescence.” “In the redistribution program.” he continued, “we process veterans after they have been home for an average furlough of 21 days. After orientation a complete check of the man’s records, and a complete physical, he is interviewed by a returnee, who has been through the combat mill himself. It is then decided where he will be placed Where his expcriencs will most benent tnose wnu aie im overseas.” '"Sometimes, it is found that a man needs further rest. He is then sent to a convalescent hospital, such as we have at Camp Davis, where he is rehabilitated through a program of rest, recreation and therapy. Other men who have been injured overseas or in the states also come to the hospital when they are purely in the convlaescent stage,” he concluded. Major Conant introduced Harold Aronoff, American Red Crogs field director at Camp Davis. Mr. Ar onoff has spent considerable time overseas with the 82nd ^ Airborne Division and has seen first hand the stresses bourne by men involv ed in actual war. He described the set up for recreation and welfare for each man in such a Division. He pointed out that the man comes back to the States recreation hun gry, because in spite of the re creation planned overseas it still is in limited amounts and at long intervals. Mr. Aronoff mentioned that US OCamp Shows have done a wonderful job putting on shows for groups anywhere from two to two thousand men. The shows have been put on in cleared place since forests, barns, theaters without roofs and with men sitting in trees in their 'eagerness not to miss a bit of the entertainment. In rest and leave camps the Red Cross has set up clubs as comfort able and ornate as possible, with all recreational facilities available, and with skilled workers to assist the men with their personal prob lems. Mr. Aronoff described the pro gram being planned by Special Ser vices at Camp Davis in cooperation with Red Cross recreationalwork ers , and said that there would be programs starting at 8:00 o’clock in the morning and ending at 11:00 o'clock at night. Hostesses will be required formally of these ac tivities and their success at Camp Davis will depend upon the young ladies of Wilmington. At the close of the talk there was a short discussion period in which the speakers answered questions. The second session is to be held at the Sorois Building at 7:30 p. m. on April 30th with more mili tary speakers, including Lt. Mox hay talking on the problems of the returnee and how the USO hostess can be of assistance in our local USO program. -V Queen Elizabeth wore the first pair of silk stockings ever knit.
