Tell It to W&mwright Seeks Quarter-Billion Dollars For : USO and Needy Abroad Rallying to the slogan—“Be Generous in Victory”— community war funds affiliated with the National War Fund in some 10,000 cities and towns throughout the United States will inaugurate this week the third and final appeal on be half of war-related causes and established home-front health and welfare services with a combined objective of $250,000,000. Co-operating in this final victory^- appeal, it is expected that more than 43.000 individual committees numbering many thousands of vol unteer workers will solicit contri butions from more than 40 million Americans. Despite termination of the shoot ing war, all of the organizations participating in the appeal are still called upon to provide vital and essential services for men and women in our armed forces, mer chant seamen, prisoners of war not yet repatriated, and homeless and hungry war victims among our al lies. Foremost among the war-bom or ganizations whose essential func tions carry over into the post-shoot ing era is the USO (United Service organization) whose myriad serv ices military-authorities have char acterized as an indispensable ad junct for sustaining the morale of army and navy personnel. Famil iar as the “home away from home’’ for servicemen and women since their entry into the armed forces, USD clubs, canteens, lounges and mobile services are still regarded as essential in sus taining the spirit ancf promoting the happiness of G.I. Joes and Janes who must continue on duty in posts throughout the Western hemisphere. USO clubs at debark ation ports, separation centers and in proximity to army and navy hospitals are still charged with the responsibility for letting this per sonnel know that they are not “for gotten men”—or women. Revising its program to conform to changing needs, USO now pro vides at some 500 clubs adjacent to military hospitals, special activi ties to interest ambulatory con valescents and to aid them in re newing contacts with civilian life. Especially trained hostesses render voluntary services in conducting i-cograms designed to efface self- t onsciousness of casualties and .oake easier their resumption of normal activities. Most distant, but regarded by military commanders as most im portant, USO camp shows, by or der of the war department, con tinue to provide entertainment for the forces of occupation through out the world. With actual combat at an end and with only' routine duties to be performed, entertain ment as an antidote for boredom that accompanies inactivity has been prescribed in increased dosage for occupation forces everywhere. USO camp shows units, varying from two or four members to full- size companies which present du plicates of current Broadway smash hits — musicals, comedies and dramas—are trovping the sea lanes from Hollywood to Honolulu, from Broadway to Berlin, and from Texas to Tokyo, and are keeping high the spirits of occupation troops. At debarkation ports, stars of stage, screen and radio partici pate in round-the-clock* entertain ment programs when returning troops are awaiting departure for home or separation centers. A highly specialized and impor tant function of USO camp shows is the entertainment provided for convalescents in army and navy hospitals and at USO clubs nearby. Programs designed to keep up the spirits of casualties and to per mit audience participation are especially planned to bring happi ness and diversion to these men. For men of the merchant marine who for many months will be en gaged In transporting supplies to occupation forces and in manning the ships returning thousands of our combat troops. United Sea men’s service continues to main tain residence and recreation clubs and other facilities to provide com fort, care and diversion in ports throughout the world. Many thousands of liberated pris oners of war awaiting transporta tion from enemy concentration ren ters are provided by War Prisoners Aid of the YMCA with materials for diversion, recreation and edu cation. Until the last prisoner »'s repatriated, this organization will stay on the job to help make less irksome the continuing period of idleness these men must endure un til they are returned to their homes. In the Allied nations millions of people who face continued hunger and suffering are being aided by the 15 American agencies for for eign relief whose appeals are in cluded in this campaign. Concerning the pMebt of civilian war victims, President Truman has said: “If we let Europe go cold and hungry, we may lose some of the founda tions of order on which the hope for world peace must rest.” On his visit to the Unit ed States after V-E Day, Gen eral Eisenhower told Ameri cans: “Prosperous nations are not war hungry. But a hungry ' nation will always seek war if it has to in desperation.” As an indication of the far-reach ing assistance afforded by National • War Fund agencies, lives of thou- , sands of Netherlanders were saved by the prompt shipment to Holland ! of the first supplies of hydrolysates . ever used in treatment of Euro peans. This wonder drug was pro vided and employed by American Relief for Holland in a desperate effort to check death by starvation of Hollanders so emaciated by long deprivation they were unable to normally assimilate food. [ United China Relief, another War Fund agency, organized in this country China’s first blood bank which was staffed with American- taught personnel, equipped with , American-donated blood plasma, and was flown into China to bo used as a “university” for teaching Chinese medics the technique of this life-giving medium. First supplies of penicillin avail able for export from this country were obtained and shipped by American Relief for Norway for use in treatment of suffering Nor wegians in that long enemy-occu- ! pied nation. All of the National War Fund * agencies for foreign relief are en* > gaged in providing emergency aid * to supplement the inadequate help i which millions of nationals in the \ Allied nations are able to receirv j from existing sources. Food, cloth* ing and medical supplies are being '• shipped as rapidly as transport fa* , cilities are available in an effort to allay the suffering that may re sult from another winter of want.
