A Challenge
to the
Home Front
When ycu give your services to 'in
club, don't fail to sign a volunteer
service card, because the USO doe-
like to know who is c operating in or-
der that they may give credit where
credit is due.
The high school girls under the
pons":«hip of Mis • In ilie Lang of
the USO, meet each Tuesday for
crafts and social activities This ame
group meets -n Monday a* Ir'tO at
the Red Cross,
Some say you can tell by the way
a soldier's wife hold- her head wh'
ther she ha- a bed for "he night or
not. Really the helping proposition
is becoming dra-iie. If y u have an
available cot, bed, or anvthinjr, don't
fail to lint it with the l.'SO, < -pecia
ly on Saturday nights.
