Arnzy and Navy League Weighs
Postwar Plans for Club Work

Postwar plans for the work of
the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
Club at 10l5 L street NV, were
discussed by its sponsoring organ
ization, the Woman's Army and
Navy League, at its May meeting
yesterday at the clubhouse.
Mrs. Smith Hempstone, the league
president. pointed out that the Com
munity War Fund, which is being
terminated, has provided the club
with its only financial assistance
for several years. Because of greatly
expanded facilities, she added, the
rummage sales which were the clubs
principal means Of support before
the war no longer would be sufficient
to provide funds for its present pro-
gram.
The need for continuing the work
of the club was emphasized by Mrs
Hempstone and by the clubs execu-
tive secretary, Mrs. Brantz Mayer
yesterday. Both stressed that the
club, in addition to providing lodging
for so cents a night and low-cost
meals, offers services which make
it true home away from home for
its clientele.
OF special concern to the organ
ization at the moment are the IT.
year-olds who are just entering the
service. The league feels it is doing
a preventive work in providing these
youths with clean and safe sur
roundings. wholesome atmosphere
and variety OF recreational oppor-
tunities through such facilities as
the clubs well-stocked library, its
billiards tables and its radios. A
staff of friendly workers also sees
that the men are given information
on such matters as the location OF
churches in Washington and sight
seeing tours.
Mrs. Mayer reported that a spe-
cial part of the clubhouse is set
aside for the servicemen who are re-
turning home to await discharge and
that 1t also is providing accommoda- =
tions for number of men who come
to Washington to take special
classes.
The work of the organization was
lauded in two letters read yesterday.
One came from Mrs. George C.
Marshall, retiring executive mem
Der Of the board, who expressed her
own appreciation and that of Gen.
Marshall for the inestimable services
rendered by the club. In another
letter Rear Admiral William N.
Thomas, chief of chaplains for the
Navy, spoke enthusiastically of the
work he observed during a recent
visit to the club. Mrs. Mayer also
reported on grateful letters from the
mothers of servicemen who have
stayed at the club.

is not confessed to be to the passers-

She has always shown a great in

on a recent visit to Italy she can
never forget. Tragedy could be seen
in the bodies of children already old
and in little legs that would not play
