Thirty-eight Members in Service. A great deal of interest ‘Was mani- fested in the progress of the work which the order is doing in connection with the War Camp fund. This work appeals forcibly to the members, as already thirty-eight members of the council have already entcreq ser- vice and it is expected.tnat the next cail wiil include a greit many more members. In connection with the Knights of Columbus War Camp fund, the first estimate of the amount necessary to carry on the work was one ‘million dollars and the local council sent as its share of this amount $1366.55 of which amount $886 was from the coun. cil members and $480.85 represented the contributions of friends of the council. Later it developed that a fund of three million dollars would be required to carry on the work which the order planned, which means tHat White Cross Council will have to raise more money for this purpose. Second Instaliment of Fund. As a besinning for the second in- stalment of the VWar Camp Fund i locai council received the sum of $3%. from a number of Norwich ladies, this sum having been raised by a series of whists. The following are the ladies who made this contribution: Mrs. John: W. Burke,. Mrs. Richard M. Powers, Mrs. P. J. Battersby, Mrs. William T. Iirowne. Mrs. M. V. Murphy, Mrs. Jchn R.

Both organizations served the soldiers along social lines on the Mexican border last summer without regard to any question of membership. On this condition. therefore. that they would not limit their activities to a| particular constituency. and that their buildings would at all all meetings be open camp, they were allowed admission to to camps. to v reservations. privilege. the Young Men's times and for this a of the number protesting lines of Guard These become so ed to make apparently were from all its own To say societies 1 will thie will constitute roughly. 60 per cent..of our new ‘army; the work of this or- ganization in all military camps both in Canada and abroad is too well known to require comment. The Knights of Columbus represent - the Catholic lenominations which will con- stitute ps 35 per cent. of the new army. ile this society is a fraternal organization it will sustain exactly the same relation to the camps as is sus- tained by the Young Men's Christian Association and will hold no. meetings to which all the troops in the camp are not invited, regardless of religious or ther preferences. The Young Men's Hebrew Association in its rec- reational work has identified itself ‘with th® Young Men’'s Christian As- sociation, and it seems to me that this task of ministering to the social needs of the soldiers within the camps has been met fully, and in a way whieh will not needlessly complicate the machinery of camp organization. “It seems to e, moreover, that the communities nearby the camps, ,where the soldiers will undoubtedly spend much of such leisure time as is allowed them, present a genuine opportunity to these various societies and organiza- tions which_have sought admission to the camps. Experience has shown that the instinctive desire of a soldier with an hour of free time is to “go to town,” if the town is only a cross-roads. this reason, therefore, the Commission on Training Camp Activities. with my approval and under my direction has given a great deal of time and thought to the task of organizing these towns. and cities along recreational and social lines. Local committees have been ap- pointed in each community, and the at- tempt has been made to harness up the lodges. churches, clubs, and other local groups and erganizations with the men in the camp. This it seems to ine, is an oppertunity for service which cannot wisely be overlooked. Each lodge. church and fraternity can look out for the needs of its soldier membership, and where local g&rougs are unable financially to pro- vide ” adequately for this task. the larger organization of the church or fraternity, as the case may be can come to the rescue. with more ample means. “Indeed there is so large a task be- fore us in surrounding our troops with la healthy environment and the emer- sency is so great that I trust that all groups can cooperate in a cordial spirit of lovalty and fellowship, regardless of 1y differences of race, creed, or affi- liation.” BROADWAY WOMEN HEAR INTERESTING REPORT No Nominations Made for Successor to Retiring President.
