September of last year served as a
recreational center for Whining

the clubs life, will be turned over

recreation for the war production
workers here, at the shipyard, the
nearby military installations and
the local government officers. Dur
ing its first year, the Industrial
USO served 10000 people, the
majority of which were out-of-town
girls who worked in and around
Wilmington.

primarily for the use of civilian
war workers, the military person.
mel from nearby camps were free
to come as often as they liked, and
many did. The Netherlands Ma
