Club Seeking Funds To Mainfain "Home’ For Service Men Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Crowd Quarters Open for Visitors ‘The Soldiers, Sailors and Marines’ Club, too, is on & wartime footing | now. The boast that no service man ever is turred away still stands, but the facilities of the Washington “home” of many a member of the armed forces have been taxed to the utmost in recent months. In June, 1841, when the newly re- modeled headquarters at 1015 L street N.W. were christened, 500 service men used the club’s facil- ities. Last month the attendance had increased to 3,000 and 5,000 were served meals, with some 1,800 hours of voluntary work being chalked up by the wives and chil- dren of officers of the three services. The total attendance at the Sol- diers, Sailors and Marines' Club in | 1940 was 2,232. Membership Drive Opens. To meet the greatly increased strain on the club treasury, a mem- bership drive is now under way. Now, as new selectees and enlisted men have come into the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, veterans familiar with the club have passed on the | news that here was “home.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Mrs. R.
