spiritual needs of our Armed Forces and the Forces Behind the Lines.
USO as a single agency coordinates the efforts of six great national

tional Catholic Community Service, The Salvation Army, the Young
Women’s Christian Associations, the Jewish Welfare Board, and the
National Travelers Aid Association. By the end of June, 1942, more
than 750 USO Clubs and units had been established, principally in
communities adjacent to army camps and naval stations. It is planned
co establish more than 1,000 by June, 1943.

There are in excess of one thousand men in the armed forces from
this community. These men, together with hundreds more to go, will
benefit directly through the various USO activities in all parts of the
world.
