Haven't you some photograph rec
OTds in your home which you would
be willing to lend or donate to the Y.
NJ. c. A. for the purpose of enliven-
ing and making bright the lives OF
soldier boys in the camps around
Washington?
1t is not necessary that they be new
as the object desired is to secure a
variation in the supply or records now
on hand. Music means so much to the
boys that they keep the instruments
playing practically all the time. and
the constant repetition Of the selec-
tions soon makes them monotonous.
An additional stock of records would
provide the change needed to make
the musical program an enjoyable and
entertaining feature of camp life.
There are doubtless hundreds Of
people in the District who could
easily spare one or more records for
this purpose, and who would welcome
the opportunity to help the young
men in this way. All such persons
are urged to communicate with the
Y. NJ. c. A, Main S256, and a messen-
ger will call for the records, which
will be Immediately forwarded to the
point where they are needed most.
