Dear Editor: ,
Since the beginning of the j
century especially, the service
organizations, Rotary, Cham-,
ber of Commerce, etc. have j
come to play a very important1
part in our social and econo- ‘
mic life in America. And this
is rightly so, for they by their i
united effort can accomplish I
much that the individuals
could never attain.
^During World War I we did
a great deal to help the
Soldiers away from home, j
dot there was a multiplication
of effort. Thus we had the
Y. M. C. A., che K of C, the
Jewish Welfare Organization,
to mention only a few. This
was competitive, but as any
one who knows will tell you,
it was wasteful.
Seeing the advent of World
War II, those in power in the
Army and Navy decided that
they would not permit the
competition and multiplication
of the previous war. And so it
was decided in October 1940
that there should be an United
Effort by all organizations,
and this was called the U. S.
O. I
In World War II not one
cent of taxes went to support i
the efforts of the U. S. 0.,
but the millions it took to
support this noble work came
from the Community Chest
Drives and from the treasuries
of each individual supporting
organizations.
And so, may God avert it,
as the shadow of World War
hovers over us, the U. S. 0.
was eailed to action once again
last September. Again they
are not supported by taxes but
by contributions from Chest
Drives, from the treasuries of
the supporting organiz»tions.
and in some cases by indivi
dual contributions.
The U. S. 0 , as established
in Kodiak, is primarily for the
Service Men. And the Service
Men are always welcome. But
the Service Men are not there
throughout the day. Rather
than close the pi? Ci mornings,
it was thought best by those
in charge, to open the doors
to the youth of Kodiak. And
today and every day, as one
passes by, one may see the
boys and girls of Kodiak
playing, of all things chess,
and enjoying the game. They
play cards, canasta, etc. and
ping pong. But best of ?Ul

they are off the streets, they
are under control and they are
acting like ladies and gentle
men.
I, think that the U. S. 0.
deserves a great deal of
praise. Their budget is limit
ed, naturally, and so if any
one has some special skill or
ability which could be used to
advantage, we would en
courage them to volunteer.

Mrs. Bryan Thorsheim and
two children plan to leave
next week for Seattle, where
she will receive special medi
cal attention.
