9th St. US0
Club Offers
Recreation

In the Army, as in civilian life,
there is truth to the old adage
"All work and no play makes Jack
dull boy'. Since Pearl Harbor,
new values have been established,
in the military camp as we'll as
civilian communities, the war has
come to America and to come
closer to home, the war has Gene
to Little Rock. Camp Robinson
located some ten miles from the
city, has among its constituency
thousands of soldiers of color, in
the training camp, where. even in
war time the recruit usually spends
at least ten weeks in "Basic Train
ing" Recreation continues to be
strong force in building morale.
Uncle Sam is busy training to-
days traince into first rate
fighting man. He drills him Wig
orously; exercies him vigorously;
he feeds him well, dresses him
warmly, he puts a Doctor and
Minister at his beck and call. But
when the soldier has stood retreat
at night and eaten his supper,
then. unless he is detailed to some
special duty, his days work is
done. He has right to rest and
recreation. This is where the 9th
Street USO Club comes in.
The modern, well-equipped three
story building, which stands at 9th
and State represents the soldiers
home in town. Under the abe
direction of Mr.. John r. Butler, a
fine program for soldiers and
associated civilians is unfolding.
The Club provides attractive and
spacious lounges for rest and re-
Taxation. A Reception Room with
bright wicker furniture is opened
daily. Every Wednesday and Sat-
urday night the soldiers and their
friends swing and sway. The club
offers games, movies, forums, IL
brary, writing materials and many
other things of interest.
The USO Club expresses to the
community its gratefulness for its
wholehearted cooperation in its
work. The Negro soldier as well
as other soldiers are fighting to
help make America a better place
to live. Victory in this war calls
for, All out effort on the civilian
front as well as on the military
front. Your local USO Club, with
the splendid cooperation Of its vol
rnteers and other local organiza-
tons will contribute greatly to
this urgent call.

IntensifcatiOn OF War Bond Purchases
To 10 Per Cent OF Income Urged Here

A letter from the office of the
Secretary of the Treasury at Wash
ington, d. c., to the local war bond
committee states that regardless of
supplements and increases in the
present tax program the government
will continue to rely on voluntary
lending of money to them on the
part of citizens for large part of
the war financing.
In no sense will the requirements
be lessened and it is highly urgent
that the people of this democracy
increase their purchases of the war
bonds. Regardless of the other
measures that are needed, the volun-
tary savings program will be essen
tial until the war is won, the com.
munication stated.
More intensive promotion of the
local campaign through advertising
and personal contacts can be expect
ed in future weeks, Triplett said.
