"Work. Assistance of volunteers for
work on books for soldiers is needed at

building at Vancouver Barracks is
rapidly nearlngr completion and it is
hoped to open it in the first week in

enough comfortable places in which
the soldiers can pass a quiet hour, nor
are there enough books in the branch
libraries, already established by the
American Library Association in the
Y. M. C. A. buildings. Anyone who has
three or four hours of leisure time
