ONE FATHERS VIEWPOINT.

The value Of War Camp Community
Service is well illustrated by one or.
ganizer, who said recently:
"a business man has said to me: !
enlisted In the Navy during the Span.
fsh-American war remember spend.
Ing my last quarter once to get ashore.
When I got there the only places that
had welcome for me were the saloon
and bawdy house. aEr-ge
Now you Community Service peo-
pie have changed all that sort OF thing.
My boy is in France. They are tax
ing care of him over there want
you to take care Of these other boys
over here. I am going to support you
no matter whether your canteen hurts
my business or not. You are takfns
care of the boys, and that is what am
Interested in.'

WAR CAMP COMMUNITY WORK.

The War Camp Community Service have
justified itself abundantly. No doubt mistakes
have been made here and there but the enterprise
q whole has BEEN and is benefcent. It sends the
away with feeling that the country is soldly behind
> them. Local cordially and the touch of personal,
. human interest is Of Importance.

q "pampered" haven't much to go Certainly the
at the front show signs of being soft One
