Citizens of Oregon, in the week of Nov. 11-18, will respond to the call of the United War Chest Campaign ,for tunas to make happy and eliecUvo !the fighting men ot the Nation. That jthe citizens will uphold the common wealth's notable record In doing Its hare to win the war is taken for granted, once the needs are under stood. ! Oregon's quota In the Joint drive ot the seven great organizations doing war service work Is J770.000. Presl. dent Wilson authorized this united . drive and named the participating bodies. The purposes for which the . funds are needed and to which they re dedicated are vital to the war's success. The T. M. C. A. has more than 2000 buts In the great battle zone and is ministering to the boys overseas, In trench and camp, leaving undone noth ing It can do to help them. In' America the "X" Is In every camp and canton ment It Is with the boys "crossing over" and, at request of the War De partment, has recently Joined in the task of instructing selectives even be fore they are called. War work of the T. W. 0. A. is thus outlined by Mrs. William MacMaster, state chairman: "Already we have In this country 1,000,000 women doing actual war work, while another 2,000,000 have re leased men for service by undertaking their work. To the T. W. C. A., 'the best big sister In the world,' has been committed by the government and mili tary authorities the serious respon sibility ot directing the thought, creat ing the environment and furnishing the material needs of this army of girls. Already 105 hostess bouses have been opened, War Service Clubs organ ized, the Patriotic League created, nurses sent where needed and now we are asked to furnish emergency hous ing for thousands ot girl war workers." John W. Kelley, associate drive di rector, says ot the Knights ot Columbus: "Knights of Columbus balls are in operation In all cantonments, training camps and naval stations in the United States and the balls are also establish ed with the American Expeditionary Forces in France, Italy, Russia and England. The motto is 'Everybody Welcome', service being given irrespec tive ot race, creed, or rank. Millions of cigarettes, pipes, bouillon cubos, gum packages and tons ot chocolate have been given free to the soldiers over seas. One of the specialties is the pro motion of athletics and a considerable Item in the budget is for baseball equip ment, boxing gloves, etc. In the war1 tone the troops are followed with motor trucks which are .virtually traveling huts, fully stocked with ath letic goods, stationery, cigarettes, and the like." Needs and activities of the Jewish Welfare Board, explained by Ben Sell ing, are: ' "In one year the number of our field representatives has grown from 10 to 113. Now we are faced with the de mand for 400 additional workers In this country and 100 overseas. .The money going into our fund pays nec essary expenses and salaries, furnishes Bibles and prayerbooks by the thou sands and letterheadsnd envelopes by the million, and provides camp, edu cational and recreational activities for the fighters, both here and abroad. War Camo Community Service, explains Emery Olmstead, state chair man, "developed from the commission created by the War and Navy Depart ments, first known as the fosuick uom mlsBion. The community is its partic ular field and thousands ot workers are assisting the towns In caring for visiting soldiers and sailors, providing wholesome amusement and clean rec reation and surrounding the camps with hospitality." , Functions of the American Library Association, soys William L. Brewster, itate chairman, are "to provide bookB and reading matter to the soldiers and iinrs through co-operating agencies and directly." Thirty library build ings have been provided at canton ments; 3.750,000 donated books dis tributed; 1,000.000 books and tons of magazines sent abroad, and 600,000 needed military technical books bought and given the men. These are some things the Salvation Armv does, according to O. C. Bortt- mnvnr. state chairman: "On lines of communication our huts ire open day and night. Then, follow ing their methods, our men and women to right to the trenches and distribute ihocolate. coffee, doughnuU and pics. Sixty per cent ot the 1000 workers are women. We have now 703 huts and SO ambulances In service. In the past few months aid has been given the Red Cross In sending abroad 100,000 parcels." STATE POUCH CAIGIIT WITH I.Kl'OIt.
