The Salem USO organiaation,
through Mr. R. F. Kunz, pro­
gram director, asks that de­
mands for entertainment during
the next 10 days, be held to the
minimum—or as nearly that as
possible. The reason is to allow
those helping with the routine
entertainment program to be re­
leased for assisting in the food
harvest, now in its fuH swing
in the Salem area.
Regular dances will be con­
tinued, Mr. Kunz says, but fewer
will attend a» there will be
fewer hostesses available.
The* USO asks this coopera­
tion as a patriotic duty, as well
as in ail good neighborliness in
helping save the food crops.
