State War Fond Organization To Be Formed Plans for organising New Jersey to raise a quota of $5,000,000 for the National War Fund were outlined today by Colonel Franklin D’Olier, state president. Field representatives of the State Wax Fund began this week the task of laying the groundwork for setting up county fund-raising organizations for the campaign next fall. County campaign committees will be comprised of a committeeman from each municipality in the county. Each of these committeemen will act as chairman of a local committee with the responsibility of obtaining volunteer campaign workers, in municipalities which have no Commurfty Chest, and organizing them for the War Fund drive. Municipalities *rith war chests will choose their own campaign chairman and conduct their own drives after agreement has been reached with the state organization on quotas. All .local campaigns throughout the state will be held within the same period, probably between the latter part of October and the first part of November. All private welfare agencies have been urged to combine their annual fund-raising campaigns with the War Fund drive. In Community Chest cities they have been urged, and most have already agreed, to combine their campaigns with the War Fund. Quotas to be raised in chest cities will comprise the War Fund quote agreed upon for the city plus the quota for the support of the private welfare agencies which are members of the community

chest.

Money raised for the War Fund will be used for the work of 16 war relief agencies approved by the National War Fund. The national total is $126,000,000. The final list of approved war agencies, D’Olier said, was: USO, United Seamen's Service, War Prisoners Aid, Belgian War Relief Society, British . War Relief Society, French Relief Fund, Greek War Relief Association, Norwegian Relief, Polish War Relief, Queen Wilhelmina Fund, Russian War Relief, United China Relief, United Czechoslovakia Relief Fund, United Yugoslav Relief Fund, Refuge Relief Trustees, and United States Committee for Care of European Chil-

dren.

D’Olier explained these organizations had been selected through consolidation of numerous relief agencies. The policy adopted by the executive committee of the National War Fund for inclusion of war agencies in the fund, he said, was: “The National War Fund will include in its national budget foreign war appeal agencies for the relief of the United Nations upon whose continued resistance to the enemy our national existence depends. The National War Fund recognizes and supports the policy of the President's War Relief Control Board in federating and combining agencies for a given country in one consolidated

unit”

Thus thq single appeal of the War Fund will accomplish what several appeals have been designed to do in the past, D’Olier said. By consolidating Community Chest and other private welfare campaigns with the War Fund drive the public will, be able to contribute to all relief agencies, whether war or private, during one campaign. Duplication of effort and expenae will be reduced to the minimum in this way, D’Olier asserted.

Cape May USO Club Is “Home Away From Home” For Many

Home is where you dip your hands into cookie jars; read on the plush of a soft sofa, and bring to someone who understands a stefry of a failure, or a triumph. As far as two preserving homemakers can arrange, this is Cape May s USO. Under the management of USO directors. Salvation Army Adjutant Theodore F. Thompson, and Mrs. Gertrude Selzer, a former Washington street apartment and office building has become a "home away from home" for hundreds of service men stationed on ■ near Cape May. Dancing, moving pictures, concert recordings, and a multiple number of enticements offer the enlisted man many a spirited eve-

ning.

With these, however, the work of the USO is only beginning. Behind the rattle of the refreshment counter, and the game rooms, in .quiet privacy, spiritual and domestic problems find light through the advice of interested and anxious listeners. Many a hasty, carefree service man has been stayed from folly, or moved to wiser action, by a word from behind the USO banner. Vesper services on Sundays and the singing of favorite hymns, conducted by Adjutant Grace Thompspn, wife of the director, add to the soldiers’ or sailors’ enlighten-

ment

A service men’s wives’ club has lately been instituted,*^ headed by Mrs. Mary Van Buskirk, who lectures on sewing and dress designing on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. To date the membership is negligible, but the club offers welcome to enrollees. Officers and their relatives, also, have benefited by the USO’s renting rooms, checking and mailing packages, contacting lost persons, and even arraging birthday parties. Last winter the beach patrol welcomed the sight of Adjutant Thompson as he sped his little truck along the oceanfront with coffee for the sentries on the boardwalk. The club is open throughout the day. seven days a week; from 5 p. m. to 11 p. m. the snack bar is in operation. Regular hostesses at the bar include Mrs. Vera Whitehead, and Mrs. Thompson, but their work is daily supplemented by the aid of volunteer hostesses from various organizations and churches on the Cape. Hostesses number over

Regular meetings plan daily programs, and arrange the procurement of entertainers. Cooperative and interested parties are found in all nearby communities. Brigadier Samuel Hepburn, Southeastern Salvation Army Diviaion, from his office in Philadelphia has lately shipped some 2,000 doughnuts to the Cape May service men. The D. A. R. has contributed to the club's game room, and the women from various communities weekly send cookies to fill the jars along the snack bar. Affiliated with the Cape May USO are several recreation “rooms,’’ lately instituted in the smaller towns. One such “room” is in the basement of a church at Woodbine; another, "in Cape May Court House, is situated on a floor above a garage. All, however, show the determination of the people of Cape May County in aiding the service man. For this work remuneration runs the gamut from nil to negligible. Mrs. Thompson, with 25 years of Salvation Army service behind her, can well speak for all Cape May USO workers when she says: “There is much contentment in making the boys feel at home—that is remuneration enough.”
