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.

for my kid sister

will ya'?"
GET THIS RIGHT she's a good girl. She walks straight and proud and unafraid,
" holding her head up, only ...
' She's walking into a different world, a grown-up world. These are tough times for
kids her age. Most of the boys she knew have left town, have gone to war. There aren't
so many parties, clubs, and games anymore. No, but there are still plenty of the sam
old ugly, dangerous things for kids to do. War makes them look different. Exciting.
Glamorous. Even patriotic.
See how good kids drift into juvenile delinquency?,
Please . . . don't let it happen to my sister. Sorta' look out for her till I get bade.
