REPORT REVIEWS
5 YEARS OF SERVICE
Official announcement that USO
will conduct its own fund raising
campaign next September and Octo
ber with a goal to cover minimum
service requirements through 1947
was made by President Lindsley F.
Kimball at a USO Fifth Anniversary
luncheon held in New York. February
4th. Similar announcements were
made at anniversary luncheons in
other cities.
USO came into being on February
4, 1941, when six member agencies
joined hands to create one organiza
tion to care for the needs of the
men and women of the armed forces.
So far the American public has con
tributed 200 million dollars.
At the New York luncheon the
speakers were Lieutenant General J.
Lawton Collins. Director of Informa
tion of the War Department, and
Vice-Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, Chief
of Navy Personnel, who described
what USO had done in its five years
of operation and what it still must
do for the service men here and
abroad.
Gen. Eisenhower's Message
Gen. Dwight W. Eisenhower, Chief
of Staff, sent this message:
"May I earnestly count on your
organization and your host of volun
teers to stay with us through the dan
gerous and difficult period of transi
tion to final peace?
"We still have a pressing need for
the services of USO and will be
deeply grateful for your continued
help in the future as in the past."
Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz,
Chief of Naval Operations, also sent
a message of congratulation.
Need for Fund Outlined
The need for raising a terminal
fund in the fall of 1946 is due to the
fact that the National War Fund
will finance USO only through 1946.
Tentative, purely tentative, plans
for 1947 call for the operation of
some 350-400 USO clubs in the con
tinental United States, largely in
connection with hospitalized but con
valescent veterans. Operation of sta
tion lounges for troops-in-transit,
men on leave, and families of service
people must continue. Overseas clubs
will carry on in Alaska, Canal Zone,
Hawaii, Philippines, etc. Camp Shows
Vwill still be seen and heard in 1947
by men in hospitals and men over
seas.
Coincident with the announcement
of the USO fall campaign, President
Kimball made public his annual re
port, in which he says:
"USO finds that at its peak of activ
ity, it was serving 1,000,000 people a
day in one capacity or another, run

New Post-War Problems
Referring to the future of USO,
Mr. Kimball says in his report: "The
successful conclusion of the war does
not, cannot, and will not return the
United States to its pre-war status....
It is clear even now that our armed
forces in the postwar period must be
numbered in the millions—and thus
present a totally different problem.
"The USO was formed to serve a
temporary purpose. ...It neither seeks
nor shirks any specific responsibility,
but the particular responsibility it did
assume in 1941 will have to be dis
charged by the end of 1947."
The report concludes with the
resolution of the Board of Directors:
"USO will complete its wartime,
demobilization and reconversion
services December 31, 1947.
"In the meantime, the member
agencies of USO which will have
peace-time responsibilities in serving
the armed forces will appraise those
responsibilities in the light of the
future plans of our country for the
armed forces and, giving considera
tion to the pattern of cooperation set
by USO, will determine in what
fashion those responsibilities can
best be discharged."

CORN AND COTTON LAND
Besides its wealth of forest products,
Tennessee is important for its output
of corn, cotton, hay and tobacco.
Cotton and tobacco alone provide
about 75 per cent of the state's cash
income from crops. Dairy cattle are
improving with milk ana manufac
tured products increasing as a con
sequence. Agriculture generally
adds to National wealth that stands
behind all Savings Bonds purchased.
