FAMILIES AIDED
 BY USO WORKERS
Wives, Children of Men in Service Given Special
 Attention

More than half of the USO clubs are now giving some form of serv- ice to military families, it was stated today by Mrs. Pearl Case Blough, director of USO Services for Wo- men and Girls.
 Although the majority of the 1915 units which the USO now op- crates were originated for men of the armed forces, their usefulness has been increased by their services to military families at many posts and encampments," Mrs. Blough said.
 This work usually goes on dur ing the day time hours when the servicemen are on duty and there fore unable to make use of the clubs.
 Army wives are probably more numerous in military and naval areas in this war than ever before. These wives who come to military areas to be with their husbands as long as possible find themselves in strange communities, without &C., quaintances and often with great deal of time on their hands. The USO has fortunately been able to meet the problem of leisure time for army wives as well as for the serv- icemen themselves.
 Activities of army wives in USO clubs have a wide range. In one military area wives of servicemen have banded together to care for the children of other army wives who are employed during the day. At Fort Leonard Wood army wives have formed handicraft classes and utilize their days making articles which can be of use to seryicemen in the field. At Fort Devens the army wives make surgical dress ings for community hospitals in Massachusetts.
 Frequently the army wives are brides, and USO club directors have co-operated with them in establish ing their own classes in home eco- monies, nutrition and cooking.
 "One important service which these army wives have rendered in some military areas has been mak- ing surveys of available housing fa- cilitieS.
 "This use of USO clubs during the day time hours by military wives has increased the number of effec- tive hours of use per day that the clubs may have. and has brought a much greater return for the con- tributor's dollar, as well as pro- viding a defense against the lone Illness of women in strange sur- roundings, a loneliness which can affect the morale of the husbands in the armed forces"

 MT. DiCecco revealed the detailed plans for the current season. He stated that concerts would be held on November l, February 1. and April 4.

Miss Far rell, who is only twenty-two years old, has made sensational begin- ming of what promises to be not able singing career.

 Other Purposes

Failure of the board of police
 commissioners to print manuals telling newly-appointed policemen their obligations and dutes was sharply criticized by Commissioner Orton P. Camp at yesterdays meet ing of the board of finance.
