OBJECT OF The WORK ACTIVITY At BELVOIR

Some of the Reasons Urged for Rals-
ing the War Community Funds
Every Person yitally Interested.
The boys who have gone from Alex
andria to Camp Mcclellan at 4annls-
ton, Alabama, and to Camp Lee at
Petersburg, Va, have a real interest
!. n the success Of the War Camp Com
munity Fund campaign now In prog
ress IN this city. The Alexandria boys
have been participating in the ,bene-
fits of the same kind Of work when
has already been done in the towns
near where they are, and the contri-
buttons made here will help to square
the debt.
The War Camp Community Recrea-
mon Fund finances the wartime as-
tivities which the Playground and
Recreation Association Of America is
conducting for the War Department
and Navy Department. Commissions
on Training Camp Activities. Ira ~.
Jayne Of Detroit, in speaking of this
work, says:
"The object in each community is
much the sanre-to convince the c!ti-
zens that this boy in uniform is still
a human being, that he has been up
rooted suddenly from his native soil,
stripped Of every social prop and SAFE
guard--his family ties, his friends,
his church, his neighborhood, his fra
ternal groups, his business connec-
tions and the influence of women Ct
his kind and so suddenly transplant
ed without their gates; That they
should become Interested in nm as
IN Individual, as person, helping
him to re-establish those socta; con-
nections with this community upon
which he was accustomed to depend
MT home; that he should be nsitner
patronized nor sighted; that ne
should be neither pauperized nor ex-
plotted; that he was civilian yes
terday, as they still are, ana that ne
will, let us hope, return TO his home
q civilian tomorrow.
every person in the community
near the campsis virtually concerned,
fo-4tha presence Of these 2cldiers AZ
their gates is bound to react on the
community in some way. If the ccra-
munity evades the responsibility, the
result win be broken homes, wee,
disease, illegitinlate children, brutal.z-
ed men, disgraced women, lowered
standards an.l moral deterioration.
II the community meets the respon-
sibihty by constructive community
effort to absorb the men as indiVi-
duals, it will not only function pert:-
otically in helping to build valiant
army, 1t will also protect the COM
nunity itself and its people.
@To others is given the duty Of DE-
yeloping these boys physically,
morally. into soldiers. To us remains
the responsibility Of helping them 70
rstain their individuality and their
feeling Of personal civil responsi-
bility. This we must accomplish indi-
rectly through the adjoining conf
munity in which we work"
