 Dr. C. w. Shropshire, president of the Jefferson County Medical society and the Civitan club, has been named chair man of the local war camp community service board.
 JUDGE w.. E. FORT
 Birmingham had never had the in- formation service which is due our own citizenship" said Judge w. E. Fort, president of the Civic association, much less the thousands of visitors who pour into our city and therefore, I see a great value not only to the returning soldiers but to the community en masse to be derived from the institution which the war camp community service is bringing to the city. Through it's offi- cial staff and various committees the Civic association has assembled a large amount of statistical data and inform tion which we shall be glad to make available to the largest number of people possible
 "Unquestionably the man of the street should, through the war camp community service find quicker access to this in- formation than if it remained in our of- flee or only with our members, as nu- merous as they are. We have picked up the data and carried 1t to the top of the Jefferson County Bank building and we now have a new agency to help disseminate it. A great concourse will now know more than ever what is going on and what will be pulled off in the Civic association. To the thousands who daily file by the war camp community station will be made known that nearly every night in the Civic association something is doing and that on the sec ond Monday night each month speaker worth while from a distance talks free to the public at our forum
 "Furthermore, through this new serv' ice, we will all see better how big we are and how little we are; what we have and what we haven't; to improve what we have and get what good we haven't Therefore, welcome to the in formation service and let's make it permanent proposition"
 SOL CAHEEN
 "As vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, and as a Rotarian, l am glad to see one of the great national war work agencies coming to Birmins- ham with something that is practical both to the soldier and to his friends, and as a citizen | am more than glad to serve in any capacity desired,' said Sol Caheen, who has been appointed treasurer of the war camp community service board "As I understand 1t, this is a sort of ask MT. Foster proposition only in this instance the work is being done and paid for out of national funds, instead of depending upon the sale of knick-knacks.
 q do not know whether it would be advisable to put in samples of coal and iron, wrought into curios to ala Birmingham after the national funds give out, but I feel like prophecying that the work will not be allowed tc die after 1t has once been demonstrated
 "The suggestion that any kind of Tn formation desired be furnished is splendid one. For instance, I think thar the public ought to know that Sarasota. Fla, is the place to catch kingfish, and by the time this interview is published. I expect to be testing out this particular bit of information.
