CAMP SHERIDAN WORK IS DONE JUST AS
 KEENLY AS YEAR AGO IN BEGINNING
E, nosALrn ARMlsrEAp HIGGINS


 Montgomery, September 2i-(Special) camp sheridan has been established over one year. and Montgomerians are just as eager and anxious to serve the soldiers today and to make their stay in Mont gomery comfortable and happy as they were the first day the camp was estab- ished.
 A year ago when the present camp H. brarian came to Sheridan, he came to camp with no library service save that rendered by the Carnegie library in Mont
 gomery. Today there is library of 2o,0oO volumes circulating through II branches
 in all parts of the camp. The building up of this library was due largely to the
 volunteer assistance of many workers, large number of whom were relatives ot soldiers and who we're visitors to Mont gomery. The Camp sheridan iprafS ,, again needs volunteers, I have only one kniclz against the camp library,' said machine gunner the other evening who
 had walked two miles to borrow q book from the library. Ut is located too far from our owtfit" That all branches may be supplied with hundreds or more Voi- umes, so that soldiers may have better library service in the various sections or the camp, it is necessary to secure Voiun- teers to render service for the branches that former volunteers did Tor the maln library Women with library or teaching experience are especially desired for this work Anyone desiring to help not only in Montgomery, but throughout the state, is requested to communicate With NIT. Slocum, Camp Librarian, Camp sheridan. Ala This is an excellent opportunity Tor young women to render real service ana doubtless there will be an immediate fe- 1 sponse to his request
 l The Young Womens Christian associa- l lion has issued an appeal for assistance in accommodating the many young wom-
 en who are coming to Montgomery to i make their home. The present quarters or the association are entirely inadequate, declare the officers, and it will be neees-s sary for the people of Montgomery to as- sist in providing good homes Tor the | newcomers. several days ago SIX appll- eants were turned away because of lack of room. so the association is appealing to the people who have furnished rooms l to help relieve the situation.
