Reports received during the past few

that public-spirited citizens, municipal
corporations, state legislatures and
trade and civic bodies are volunteer
ing their financial support in order
that the services Offices in many COM
munities may continue their work.
In Washington. the cooperation of
the Board of Trade. the Chamber of
Commerce and the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association has been
pledged to the local Office of the serv-
ice, and through these organizations
it is felt that the need for central

been met, even though the staff of the
office has been cut more than two
thirds. The bureau for returning
service men has been retained and
every effort will be made to place
these men.
