To Continue
It's Great Work
President Of Organization Tells
Of Enormous Job Still To Be
Done Both At Home And
Abroad.

L. F. Kimball, President of the
United Service Organizations, Inc,
a member agency of the National
War Fund has made the following
statement concerning the position of
this organization and its activities for
the future.
Mr. Kimball says: "World War II
is over as far as fighting is concern
ed, but the United Service Organi-
cations and its thousands of volun-
teer workers have a vast job remain
ing in order to carry out requests
for service by the United States
Armed Forces and the wishes of the
American people who have so gen.
erously and intellectually sup
ported and participated in the work
of USO.
"The plans of the nations war
leaders are known, at least to the
degree that we are enabled to de-
velop fairly comprehensive programs
for continuation and adaptation of
necessary features of our work,
1--WE know that it will take many
months to get the men and women
who are to be released from the
Army and Navy back to the United
States and to get them through the
discharge routine and into a changed
civilian life.
eve know that for a long time
the United States will have to main
tain large armies of occupation for
Japan and other far-off Pacific points
along with the forces that are to be
stationed in Europe
eve know that with the war
clouds dispersed, men and women
in our Armed Forces are eager to
get home and out of service and we
know too that it will be very much
more difficult to keep them happy
and their minds occupied while they
are waiting, than it was when they
were called upon to face the enemy.
''On the basis of conferences with
military authorities and our estimate
of service to be rendered during the
twelve-month period beginning
October l, 1915, reductions totaling
$9,5O0,000 have been made in our
projected cash requirements. This
reduction will not alter the announc-
ed goal of the National War Fund
because they plan to make this cam
paign their last and they hope by
raising the full goal of $4,000, 900

the point of liquidation or through
