The Jewish Welfare Board, Mr. Weil explained, is one of the six national agencies which make up the United Service Organizations.

The solicitation of gifts among individuals of large means and leading corporations will begin immediately. June 3 has been set as the date of opening the general campaign to solicit all citizens. The agencies are plan- ning service club facilities in 339 places adjacent to camps, naval stations and defense industry centers throughout the United States and its overseas bases. The Government will provide buildings, it was explained, and the U.S.O. will provide funds for their operation and the ac- companying program of social, educational and religious activi- ties.

AND GRAND RIVER In his announcement of the campaign Walter Hoving, presi- dent of the U.S.O., which has established national headquarters in the Empire State Building in New York City, declared: "More than 1,400,000 young Americans are now in uniform. Many of them are in huge train- ing centers, built in haste to meet a national emergency. Sol- diers sometimes outnumber, by five or ten times, the adult pop- ulation of nearby towns and vil- lages. "When the soldiers go into town by the thousands, evenings and week-ends, there is too often no place for them to go, nothing to do, no good friend to meet the lonely, no morale-building recreation. Boys stand aimlessly on the sidewalk, wondering what to do, and those who seek to exploit the boys, sometimes vic- iously, are eager to supply the answer. "The United Service Organi- zations plan to bring our sol- diers, sailors, and youth in our defense industries, a measure of the hospitality, the spiritual in- fluence and the comfort which the people at home want them to have. "Fathers and mothers all over the country, are demanding that this be done. We are acting also at the request of the President of the United States, the Secre- tary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Federal Social Security Administrator. "As more thousands leave for camp, the need grows daily more acute. For that reason we need large advance gifts immediately to help us get our program start- ed, to rent, furnish and staff temporary huts for the soldiers and sailors. "In the meantime, as fast as we can, we will organize the nation-wide appeal to all citizens for the money needed for a full year's operation." Initial gifts to the United Serv- ice Organizations for National Defense, Inc., it was explained, should be sent to its offices in the Empire State Building in New York City. Preliminary plans for the buildings which the U.S.O. mem- ber agencies will operate pro- vide for a central entertainment hall seating 500, reading and game rooms, lunch counters, lock- ers, showers and general service club facilities. The agencies, it was explained, are also planning to use their existing facilities to the fullest possible extent in serving soldiers and sailors, and also workers in defense industries. The Y.W.C.A., for example, is workers, in places where local developing plans for defense resources are inadequate. Typ- ical of these emergencies are great defense industries, such as powder works, which are being built far from the cities and larger towns and are drawing thousands of young women work- ers away from their homes. The program of the agencies, it was explained, is designed to meet needs of serving soldiers, sailors and defense workers over and above what local communi- ties are already doing and are expected to continue to do.
