"The Recreation Drive of the National Council of Defense Is One Measure Which Asks No Money,
 But Plenty of Good Will and Hearty Cooperation"
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

.HH1NERHAPS one of the mast ap-
 pealing things about the
 ~S recreation drive which we are now inaugurating in Birmingham under the auspices of the national council of defense, is the very com monplace one of not asking money from anybody, but merely the good will-plenty of it--and the co-opera- tion-hearty co-operation-of the com munity in our efforts.'
 Mrs. T. L. Bissell general chairman of the recreation drive for Birming- ham under the council of defense ban ner, made the foregoing statement yes- terday in speaking of the preliminary arrangements now under way for this movement.
 Mrs. Bissell is energetically and ly- ally giving her undivided time and support to this war measure and urges every man. woman and child in Bir- mingham to assist her in going over the top with this feature of war work.
 Tt may be necessary to explain" Mrs. Bissell said, just what the recrea- ton drive is and what it's purpose is, and for the benefit of those. who do not know, l am glad to explain. First of all, it is the taking care of and stim- ulating the energies of our boys and girls-our future citizens-through a very simple but effective device, name ly recreation. This includes play ground work, which takes the children out into the open and gives them brawn and brain and muscle to combat whatever physical disabilities they may have; correct these, and stimulate their effrts."
 Do you know that the playgrounds of Birmingham have been closed now for nearly three years?' Mrs, Bissell asked. The beautiful spots in and around Birmingham, the playgrounds which used to afford so much pleasure to the boys and girls during vacation time, have been absolutely closed. Commissioner Brown has given the recreation drive committee the privi- lege of using the parks and play

HOME SERVICE WORK

One of the pleasantest as well as one of the most definite duties of a home service section is to stimulate the fam flies and friends of soldiers and sailors to write frequently to the boys. Wives, children, mothers. fathers and other rela- tives ought to be impressed with the importance of home news to the men in camp and especially to those in France.
 The letters should be cheery, full of home news, should carry pictures if pos sible and should be expressive of sincere appreciation of what the boys are doing for their country.
 A specific duty attaches to the home service section to make sure that the
