Given Herewith.
Cltlxens of Oregon, In th week ol
November 11-18, will respond to the
call of the United War Work Campaign
for funds to make happy ami effective
the fighting men of th« Nation. That
the cltlxens will uphold the common­
wealth's notable Acord in doing Its
share to win the war Is taken for
granted, once the needs are under­
stood.
Gregon's quota in the Joint drive cf
the seven great organizations doing
war" service work Is 1770,000. Fresh
d«nt Wilson authorized this united
drive and named the participating
bodies. Th« purpox-a for which the
funds are needed and to which they
are dedicated are vital to the war s
success.
The Y. M. C. A. haa more than 2000
huts tn the great battle xom; and Is
ministering to the boys overseas, in
trench and camp, k-avlng undone noth­
ing It can do to help them. In America
the "Y” is In every camp and canton­
ment. It la with the boy« "crossing
over” and, at request of tb«t War De­
partment, baa recently Joineo In the
task of Instructing sclectiveo even be­
fore they are called.
War work of the Y. W. 0. A. Is thus
outlined by Mrs. William MacMaater,
state chairman:
“Already we have tn this country
2,000,000 women doing actual war
work, while another 2,000,000 have re­
leased men for service by undertaking
their work. To the Y. W C. A., ‘the
best big slater In Abe world,’ haa been
committed by the government and mili­
tary authorities the serious respon­
sibility of directing the thought, creat­
ing th.- environment and furnishing
the material needs of thia army of
girls. Already 105 hostess house« have
been opened. War Service Clubs organ-
ix«d. the Patriotic League created,
nurses sent where needed and now we
are asked to furnlah emergency hous­
ing for thousands of girl war workers.”
John W. Kelley, associate drive di­
rector. says of the Knights of
Columbus:
"Knights of Columbus halls are in
operation in all cantonments, training
camps and naval, stations In the Unit’ d
States and the halls are also establish­
ed with the American Expeditionary
Forces in France, Italy, Russia and
England. The motto is "Everybody
Welcome’, service being given irn spec-
tlve of race, creed, or rank. Millions
of cigarr-ttea. pipes, bouillon cubes, gum
pm-kagex and tons of chocolate have
been given free to the soldiers over­
seas. One of the «[x-claltlea is the pro­
motion of athletics ami a considerable
item In the budget is for baxeball equip­
ment, boxing gloves, etc. In the war
sone 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
the Jewish
Welfare Board, explained by Ben Sell­
ing. arc:
"In one year the number of our field
representatives has grown from 10 to
313. 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 salari«*s, furnish««
Bibles and prayerlxjoks by the thou­
sands and letterheads and envelop.« by
the million, and provides camp, edu­
cational and recreational activities tor
the fighters, both here and abroad.”
"War Camp Community Service,"
explains Emery Olmstead, state chair­
man. "developed from the commission
created by the War and Navy Depart­
ments, first known ax the Fosdlck Com­
mission. The community is its partic­
ular field and thousands of 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, says William L. Brewster,
state chairman, are "to provide books
and reading matter to th«- soldiers and
sailors 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 toni of
magazines sent abroad, and 600.000
needed military technical books bought
and given the men.
Thee«* are some things the Salvation
Army does, according to O. C. Bortx-
meyer, state chairman:
“On lines of communication our huts
are open day and night. Then, follow
Ing their methods, our men and women
go right to the tranches and distribute

Sixty per cent of the 1000 workers are

A misunderstanding relative to the
canteen work of the Y. M. C. A. has
been cleared up by the War Depart»

and condition is being remedied. The
Young Men’s Christian Association
was originally asked by General
Pershing to run the canteens for the
army on a cost basis. In order to do
this it had to reckon in price fixing
such overhead charges as transporta­
tion charges and marine insurance so
that prices were much higher than in
this country.

He urged the
American people to make some
sacrifices in order to help "carry
