The SOS, A Morale Builder
With the women of Olney, through variuos study clubs and mission-
ary societies, offering to continue to give their time to the operation
of the Canteen, service organization for soldiers, and the City Council’s
vote to make the Rotary building available, and with the promised sup-
port by the Rotary and Lions club and the American Legion, the Can-
teen project should expand and prove successful during the forthcom-
ing months.
That the project itself has been a worthy one is shown by words
of appreciation from soldiers themselves. These men do not ask for
much; all they want is a week-end away from khaki-filled streets. They
do not ask for charity. Olney can best show its hospitality to these
soldiers, many of them youths homesick for friends and home, by open-
ing the doors of the Canteen on week-ends, by giving the building an
attractive and homey atmosphere, and by extending a hand-shake of
welcome in the form of friendly conversation, radio and magazine
entertainment snd light refreshments.
The Canteen can well become a distinct morale-builder for the boys
at Sheppard Field, Camp Wolters and other army camps. Similar or-
anizations in other cities, many of them not sponsored by the USO,
have been highly successful. Moreover, the Canteen should receive
support of Olney merchants because these soldiers bring money to a
town. Take the case of Wichita Falls, for instance. On Saturday night
every eating establishment is filled with soldiers, while others stand
awaiting a table. The crowded condi tion is brought about by the sol-
diers’ desire to get away from the monotony of the mess hall. They
will come forty miles oh a week-end pass, for a brief interlude from
camp, provided they have something for which to come.
Canteen committee members have issued an urgent request for do-
nations of furniture, used pieces in fairly good condition, in order that
the Rotary building may be made available as quickly as possible.
Within a few weeks, with the help of advertising ’in nearby army
camps, the Canteen will become a favoorite stopping-place for soldiers.
Olneyites may offer a further welcome by meeting the boys at
the Canteen building and asking them to their homes.
Such gestures are being appreciated by Olney soldiers now sta-
tioned throughout the country.

WRITES SISTER
August 10, 1942,
Hawaiian Islands.
Dearest Baby Ruth:
I will try to answer your sweet
letter of August 1, which I re-
ceived today. I’m always proud
to hear from my baby sis. This
leaves me just fine and I hope it
finds you well.
What have you been doing? I
guess you are still taking care of
our kittens and rabbits. Do you
and Old Shep ever have any
trouble over the rabbits?
So you are starting to school
this year, are you? Are you glad?
I just imagine you can hardly
wait for the time to come. You
stay right in there and be a good
gii’l, because your old bud is bet-
ting on you. I just know you are
going to enjoy it very much.
Well, baby, I went swimming
again and boy, oh boy, did I blis-
ter my nose! You should see it.
I must quit as I have five more
letters to write tonight. Tell Glen
and Evelyn hello for me. May
God bless you.
Love always,
EULAN.
