Your for the Fourth Liberty Loar and Victory, Lupton Wilkinson, South Carolina Publicity Director, United War Work Campaign, 1 "Ask the average citizen about the American Library Associatior and he is more than liable to looi at you with inquiry written all over his face. But nevertheless his lacl< of knowledge of this organization does not altar the fact that it is doing and has been doing some of the most effective work in maintaining the morale of the fighting men in France and providing means of wholesome mental recreation for the boys who are jaded and worn after long periods in the trenches. The province of the American Library Association is extensive to the utmost degree. It covers all fields of military activity with its operations and extends its influence to all battle fronts. It places libraries on warships, transports and cargo vessels in the service of the Government. It maintains library service for militarj 1 i_ 1 nospicais. The Library War Service seeks tc place in the hands of every membei of our fightii^j forces the book he needs when he wants it, whether he wsihes to read for recreation or tc fit himself to be a better fighter, a better American, or to help him win success aiter tne war. The American Library Association has built, equipped and now operates forty-three libraries of 30,000 volumes at large camps, 300 at smaller camps or posts, 148 at naval and ma rine stations and has 350 libraries and branches at sea. It supplies books and magazines for the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Y. W. C. A., Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service and the Salvation Army. More than 1,500 branch libraries have been established in huts, canteens, club rooms and hostess houses. Engraved Cards and Invitaions? The Press and Banner Co. MASTER'S SALE.
