Thanksgiving Day Will Be Kept in
Camp
Peace
will not change the Thanksgiving day plans announced for Camp Greene.
The
abandon of all labor for the day will be the more complete because of the
allied victory, it is given out. The camp will enter into the joy of America’s
greatest Thanksgiving day in the fullest spirit. Mess officers are making
arrangements for an elaborate menu for all companies in the camp as a matter of
keeping up with a part of the day’s traditions.
Melvin
Sheppard, Camp Athletic Director, is expecting the athletic features of the day
to be even more hotly contested than was originally supposed. There are a
number of entries for the inter-company relay race, which will be held in the
morning and in which teams from nearly every organization in the camp will
compete. Five men will make up each team and by running a half mile each will
cover the distance from camp headquarters to the Charlotte city hall. Prizes
will be gold, silver and bronze medals to the men of the first, second and
third teams to finish the race. The contestants will wear regulation army
uniforms.
In the
afternoon of Thanksgiving Day as foot ball game between a Camp Green team and
an army team from some other camp is being arranged.
