| War Camp Community Sevice

Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mights continue to be the open nights at the Pie. The programme for evening will include dancing. . Fo other entertainments, see | Bulletin Board. It will be decided good news for the men of the various unite and also for the people of Cape May and vicinity that the City Council, with commend able promptness and in response to a felt need, has voted to rebuild the stage at Convention . Hall, so . that scenery can be used thus making it possible to present practically every sort of entertainment. . In view of this decision by the Council, the Navy Commission, through . its entertainment director, Mr. C. H. Gifford, who visited Cape May lst Tuesday, will put this city on the Navy circuit for high-class vaudeville and | musical shows. — ‘The War Camp Community Service, for its | part, | will | provide scenery for the stage worth, at market rates, $1500. — It will also secure as soon as possible a Recreation Director for Cape May, a man of experience in such matters who will look after the proper staging of entertainments at the Pier and also help to develop adequate recreation facilities through out the community. . It is not possible | at this time to state just when this: man will be available, as it is not easy to secure such talent at a moments notice. . It is believed, however, that it will not be long before he will be on the ground. , The new schedule will be ready, it is hoped, within a month. The plan is to admit towns-people as well as enlisted men to these entertainments, charging a small admission fee to cover at least a portion of the expense. Mr. Calvin L. Lewis, director of the Philadelphia War Camp Communit»! Service, has written to the men‘s social organizations of Philadelphia a etter in which he offers the following suggestions for meeting the vast problems connected with demobilization: "1. Get the boys back to their! homes and their friends and give them | the joyous and appreciative welcome In his letter to the churches, Mr.

Lewis adds this important suggestion "The church ought to do the work {which the Young Men‘s Christian As insseasied or the Jewish Welfare Board or the indicted of Columbus have don in the camps," It will be [Eemworreal to know what jthe lodges, the clubs and the churches jof Cape May are planning to do for Cape May men when they return. It may be added that those who for one reason or another could not enlist will enjoy and be helped by the same means which would please the returned soldier and sailor. War Camp Community Service is. interested . in the community as well as in the men of the Army and Navy and seeks to help wherever it can. As a recent W. C. C. 8. Bulletin says: "War Camp Community Service now is not concerned merely with getting the soldiers back into civil life without catastrophe. It is concerned with having the soldiers go back to their home towns, keeping the morale which has ful, carrying back into civil life the inspiration to | community . endeavor which shall put this whole country forward during the next ten years as it would not have been for a century but for the community purposes that have been wrought out through common service on‘ the battlefield and common‘ training in . the military camps." Mr. Richard L. Metcalfe, editor of the Omaha Nebraskan, recently declared himnelf about War Camp Community Service as follows: There has been mo war work om ganization that has accomplished bigger results with less noise than the War Camp Community Service. | So unostentatious have been the operations of this service that muny people are ignorant of the big part it has played in war and likewise they need to be informed of the bigger part it will play in peace. But the soldiers who have been so faithfully served by tne War Camp Community Service know of ite good work and they cheerfully bear testimony to it. It was the office of this service to do the work in communities outside of ca a e S of C. and. other organizations did inside the camps. . It will be readily seen that in communities outside the camps the soldier most needs protection, aid, and entertainment, and alli has been given in a wonder ful way by the War Camp Community Service. — This work is still going on | and it will be all the more necessary |

It will be particularly necessary in communities outaide of the permanent camps maintained by the government. But the experiences during . war time have proved that War Camp Community Service has an even greater part to play in times of peace. "War Camp" will probably eventually diszppear from the name, and it is even now rapidly assuming its place as a COMMUNITY SERVICE, doing much of its work through organized efforts of mational scope, and accomplishing more by the inspiration it will give to those communities, large and small, which do not adjoin camps and are not a part of the national organization. The Detroit (Michigan) News clearIv points out the fundamental | reawon why the morale of the soldier and prailer is apt to be lowered and hence the ndded emphasis on the need of the civilian . rendering . the service which only he can give: "At the exact moment when the sol(ier needs the most attention from the civilian, the civilian has to an extent jat least | withdrawn attention . from him. It is easy to understand that with (the war over the man or woman in civil life, figuring the soldier about to be discharged, relaxes efforts in his be‘half, But the point that is overlooked is that from now . to his discharge the soldier faces the most trying period of his military life. As long as the war continued, men in the Army found an inspiration in their work, were buoyed by the probability that soon they would be in the thick of it. — Civilian attention and courtesies were appreciated, needed, and popular as diversions, but France, the goal, was the main thing. Now the war in over, Work that was once labor gladly borne as an . irksome preparation for battle has become plain drudgery. There is no chance to go abroad. The soldier is simply waiting, waiting for his discharge. Under these circumstances the relaxation of civilian effort which the War — Camp — Community — Service finds is doubly unfortunate. The importance of taking care of the soldiers, sailors, and marines, work with which this service is charged, has increased, not diminished, | Filling war-time lef-| sure is a leas difficult tusk than combating the evile of peacetime garrison inertia. Small, personal attentions, lifts in automobiles, invitations to home, providing of theatre tickets, the hundreds of things in the doing of which Detroit has distinguished ftself, are increasingly gratifying to the soldiers. Simply because the war is over and these men have missed and bitterly regret missing their chance for over» meas service is an added incentive for Detroit to care for them." What certain prominent public men think of War Camp Community Service: U. S. Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohlo ‘There is a real need in every com-

deed "our brother‘a keeper" and a li en in every community who have the {time and ability to take up this ser vice if they will. . To engage in it {will help break the "shell of our sek [fishness" and pluck from it the "Auit [of eacrifce." . It will bless the give [and the receiver. U. S. Senator William H. King of Utah It has become manifest that the welfare of our men in the service must be cared for quite as much in the city away from the camp as in the camps themselves. Indeed, it is often more important that the men away from camp receive friendly attention and that provisions be made for their proper care and comfort. The War Camp Communoty Service is doing important, . notable . and praise-worthy work in this field. . I am pleased to heartily commend their activities. U. S. Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florids The War Camp Community Service has been most useful and helpful, as 1 have had cccasion to observe in Jacksonville, F orids, and elsewhere. It has been do; g a splendid, patriotic work, and I wish it every success, U. 8. Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington In my opinion the Wer Camp Come munity Service was 8 most valuable part of our war activities. . It helped the morale as well as the physical well-being of our soldiers, in the great emergency. of their lives, and the country owes it a debt of gratitude, ._ Speaker Champ Clatk of Missourt Unquestionably . the | War | Camp Comraunity Service has been of great value, .
