been the first, or amoung tim
first to be completed, equipped
and in .use. Wherever volunteers
or selective service men have
been mobilised they have found
the Association waiting toreceive
them arid serve their needs.
When it is considered that
this ha3 been done by a ^private
institution, operating without
profit, dependent upon volun
tary workers to maintain it
and. paying no ltfrgeg salires,
the record has been one-of ahe
most remarkable of the entire
war. -

Each -.of- these buildings is

You are serving your fourth

1. Are you willing to staud for
re-election on your Whole/record
in Congress. ’ •
