SPRINGFIELD, m.-A report
issued by the Illinois Synod Of the
Presbyterian church indicates that
this organization is taekling prob
lens raised In defense COMMUNE
ties with a widespread program Of
activities.
Heading the work Is a suo-com-
mittee on Camp and Defense areas
In Illinois. a section Of the Synods
committee on Social Education
and Action.
TWO types Of defense communi-
ties have been defined by the re-
ports: The military camps and
surrounding areas; and the defense
industry areas. Illinois has some
of the nations largest units IN
both classifications.
Hospitality committees have
been formed in churches located
in the areas affected. These COM
mittees arrange for the entertain
ment of service men in the homes.
Overnight guests are taken
Churches serve dinners. open club
rooms, and conduct vesper serv-
ices at the army camps.
Other churches are transform
ing church auxiliary rooms into
day nurseries, recreation rooms,
etc. Provisions for poular indoor
games are made. Library rooms
are made available for reading,
music and lounging.
In Dixon, Illinois, a welcoming
committee of twenty-five men and
women has been formed. The COM
mittee devotes one afternoon or
evening a week to calling on new
families and inviting them TO par
ticipate in church services and &C
tivities. Conferences have been ar
ranged between employees and
plant managers. During the sum-
mer months an enlarged vacation
school was held.
In the Chicago area, Illinois
Presbyterians contributed $4,000
to a fund participated in ON an
Observation-Disclosures basis.
In some defense areas special
pastors-at-large have been APP
pointed. In one area q woman
worker has been employed on
full-time basis.
One of the most picturesque con.
tributions is reported in the South
ern Illinois area. An automobile
trailer has been provided. It II
equipped as a wayside chapel and
visits the defense trailer communi
ties in Illinois and Indiana.
