The Rev. Dr. William r. Manning.

splendid manner in which the Big
Seven war work organizations-the
War Camp Community Service the Red
Cross the K. of C, the y. NJ. c. A, the
Jewish Welfare Board. the Y. w. c. A.
and the American Library Association
have been handling the big task OF pro-
viding entertainment for the returning
soldiers and sailors that daily have been
splitting into the metropolitan district
since tho armistice
"In my opinion this important matter
Of entertainment and amusement for the
returning soldiers and sailors could no.
be better handled than by the seven war
work organizations" said DR.. Manning
Another feature which appealed to the
Episcopal rector was the contrast be-
tween the moral atmosphere which sur
rounded the entertainment OF the
sailors and that which followed the
sailors a few years ago.
The cooperation OF the seven agencies
for war work in providing suit
able entertainment and amusement fea-
lures for welcoming our returning SOL
oiers and sailors seems to be exactly the
proper method. II has proved itself in
experience to be go. AS n result of their
united experience and combined effort
these cooperating agencies have been
most successful in providing the kind OF
entertainment which the men most APP
