IT was just a quiet little city in the Middle West a few months ago. Let's call it Peaceyille, because it was just like dozens of other cities before the war came along and changed them overnight In normal times, Peaceville's population was about 10,000. Life ran smoothly and there was plenty of leisure for everybody. Then came the war. And with it came a camp of 50,000 men at the very outskirts of Peaceville. Soon -the soldiers came pouring into town 20,000 at a time looking for something to do. - Every hotel, every restaurant, every candy store, every movie show, -the one small theatre all these put up tfce "Standing Room Only" "sign. The sidewalks and the streets -were packed. The men were on leave, entitled to have a good time, and there was nowhere to go! : - - : A call went out from Peaceville a call for help. It went to one of these organizations which called in some of the others and shoulder to. shoulder they went to work. And look at Peaceville nowl See the Soldiers' Clubs, the cafeterias, the sanitary barber shops, the information booths, the homes where soldiers are invited to come for dinner, the good theatrical attractions free to men in uniform, the dances where the -nicest girls in town can meet the boys upon a wholesome, friendly ground. See the hostess houses at the camps where the mothers, fathers, sisters ' and sweethearts can meet their boys in surroundings that seem like home. See the way the automobile owners give a lift to every man they meet upon the road. Go to entertainments organized and sponsored by the churches and civilian clubs and fraternal societies and public institutions See how profiteering has been run clear out of Peaceville. . : j Up and down this country, wherever troops are gathered in - the great; -cantonments, this problem of Peaceville is being met Even in the biggest cities where a few thousand soldiers more or less hardly seem to make much difference, this work has been and is quietly going on to find diversion for the men on leave, to open up the great big heart of cities, to organize their hospitality. This problem of morale begins at home. Right at our doors our fighters must be started right Morale will hasten victory. Give, to let these organizations help your boy every step of the way from home to battle-line and back again. 1
