Tho Young Men's Christian as

community service, the Salva

Christian association, the Na
tional Jewish welfare board and
the National Travelers Aid as
sociation merged to form orig
inally about 340 clubhouses In
200 communities which other
wise had no facilities for the
men.
With tho advent of war, how
ever, and tho swelling of the
ranks of nil armed services, Ihc
USO cxpnnded. From 340 clubs,
the USO grew to include 3000
clubs, in this country alone.
From centering its services
chiefly in the beginning on
dances, guinea, sports, music,
photography, etc.. the USO be
gan to include, under the Trav
elers Aid, t information centers
for traveling service men.
Tho industrial committee was
organized to make tho club's
services avallablo to war work
ers in over crowded cities.
Lounges in rail and bus stations
were inaugurated; mobile clubs
began to function. The problem
of women in the services wus
