r IS MEr B ENEMY OF E Medford Has Long Received Special Attention Account Proximity of Camp White The USO Is an organization born during and because of World War 2. It is composed of six national agencies National Catholic Community Service, National Jewish Welfare Board, Young Men's Christian Associa tion, Salvation Army, Young Women's Christian Association and National Traveler's Aid As sociation. Never before has an organization such as this been formed. To many people it was preposterious to think that the three different faiths, Protest ant, Jewish and Catholic could link hands and work together. USO is a great example of de mocracy in action; organizations of totally different beliefs Join ing together to produce a single effect. There are many who ask how long USO will continue. The only answer can be "as long as the need exists. USO Active Her Medford has received close at tention from the USO because of its proximity to Camp White. While the military load was at its peak, two clubs were in op eration full time. As the need creased, the smaller club on West Main was closed. All USO activity is now consolidated in the large club on Riveide ave nue. For a six-month's period housing bureau was operated in the West Main club. This bu reau was financed by the city and county. USO still keeps list ings on vacant houses, rooms and apartments as a part of their regular service to the military USO is called "The Home Away From Home." Those who work in the club constantly keep this in mind. The home like, friendly atmosphere of USO club invites the service man to return again and again. Recognizing the fact that the average serviceman is limited financially, the USO endeavors to provide many services free of charge. Shaving equipment, showers, writing materials, checking and other facilities are available to the soldier. Dances, hobby-craft, discus sion groups, motion pictures, re ligious services and many more types of program have been of- - fered by the local club. 200 Ladies Help Over 200 local ladies make up its corps of volunteers and some of our most progressive business men and women are on the UbO council and operating commit tee. Babies and dogs are cheeked for safekeeping; soldier's wives are rushed to the hospital for blessed events. For many of the boys the USO is the last civilian contact before shipping out. The volunteers and employed per sonnel of USO have a responsi bility to the compossionate. They are acting and speaking in the place of thousands of mothers, fathers and loved ones. The USO, being the largest member agency of the National War Fund, is also the largest single beneficiary of the Med ford Community Chest War Fund drive now under way. Chest officials state that roughly one-third of the funds collected in Medford ro to the support of USO activities at home and abroad.
