IOPEN HOUSE EOE
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11.—Th»
latch string of the west is out to th<
enlisted men and all others In tin
fighting forces of the United States
The territory from the Canadian lint
to the Rockies and from the Pacific
ocean to an undefined line a thousand
or so miles inland, is one big “cper
house” for the entertainment of the
uniformed forces. At the head of thc
welcoming hosts is the war camp com
munlty service.
The “open house” consists in the
equipping of clubs and other recrea
tion places, and the throwing open
of countless private homes to the
soldiers. The most elaborate of the
clubs is located in Seattle, where a
modern seven story fireproof build
ing has been converted into a meet
ing house for soldiers and sailors. In
{ Tacoma a four story building has
been secured for a like purpose. Here
the men from Camp Lewis meet fre
quently.
The Seattle building has a swim
ming pool, billiard hall, gymnasium,
dfnfng room, reading room and three
stories devoted to dormitories for the
accomodation of 320 men. Other
clubs' are located in San Francisco,
Menlo Park, Palo Alto, San Jose. Val
lejo, Los Angeles, and San Diego, Cal
ifornia, and Salt Lake City.
Clubs are under construction In
Portland- and Astoria, Oregon; and
Vancouver and Benicia, Washington;
I
Oakland and San Pedro, California.’
This wiTT add six more clubs- to the
eighteen already established.
The dubs are but one feature-of the
war camp community service The
! service frasr set out to supply recrea-;
tion In pliace of the commercialized'
amusements which do not always add
; to the moral and phyisacl fitness of
j the fighting men. Toward this endi
it has recruited the homes of tire west, j
where the- men may attend dffnner,
parties, dances, week ends and other;
innocent amusements. These pleas-1
I
ures are supplemented by automo
bile rides, football, baseball ami oth
er games-, entertainments in the camps
and like events. Each householder is
asked to become a unit in the service. I
I
The service does the work outside
the camps that the Y. M. C. A., and
the Knights of Columbus are doing
with them. In this way the very best
influences are guiding the recreation
of the fighting man, and showing him1
at the same time that the country is
grateful fbr his sacrifice
