Ga. — Dedication of the new addition to the colored USO Club sponsored by the Na tional Catholic Community Ser vice was held on July 4, the Most Rev. Gerald P. O'Hara, Bishop of Savannah - Atlanta, and Judge Wilkes S. MacFeeley, chairman of th Savannah USO Council, being the principal speakers. In his address to the large num bers which gathered for the dedica tion program, Bishop O'Hara re ferred to the time when a world ! war involving the United States! was but a threat. “At that time, which now seems! so remote, instructions were sent ; to all Catholic parishes within the State of Georgia stating that - all halls and possible places of gaijj- ering should be placed at the dis posal of the members of our coun try's armed forces,”' the Bishop stated, “and that this should be done without any thought of copn-! pensation.” At that time, when nothing had i been done for the recreation of! the Negro soldier here, a Negro' morale officer, one of the com- ; paratively few Negro soldiers then ' quartered in this area, approach-; ed leaders in this community in an : effort to establish a recreation 1 hall here. The officer was then ' brought by Arthur Floyd, director I of the SSSS, to the Rt. Rev. Msgr.! T. James McNamara who. with <-o-| operation, immediately established' a recreation hall at the St. Mary’s j School Hall which has since been incorporated in the USO as a Na tional Catholic Community Ser-| vice designation. From the start! success has attended this club. 1 Bishop O’Hara declared. To those whose work has made j possible the successful operation of tile club, the bishop extended! congratulations. He expressed the 1 hope that all would work liarmon-! iously toward the attainment of! that Christian democracy whose j philosophy of action is found in our country’s Declaration of Inde pendence. The building was presented -by Judge MacFeeley. who summariz ed the achievements of the USO. In his informative talk he stated i that some $50,000,000 had been ex-! pended by the USO in providing! recreational facilities for our j country's aimed forces both in the United States and abroad. “This service has been rendered without distinction of race, color! or creed.’’ Judge MacFeeley de-1 clared. "A maximum of accom-: plishment 111111 a minimum of i spending has been made possible; by over 700.000 volunteer workers * assisted by 4.000 professional j workers," he slated. These workers | are representatives of Protestant-1 ism. Judaism, and Catholicism and! most specifically of tile six affiliat-' ed agencies constituting the USO, i he lidded. The invocation was pronounced! by the Rev. Adolph Gall, S. M. A.,! Pastor of the Immaculate Heart of. Mary Church, following a prelude by the orchestra from Camp Stew- j art. Greetings were extended to the newly enlarged club by various i Savannahians and civic leaders. ■ Following Bishop O'Hara’s ad-' dress, the benediction was given by an Army chaplain. The dedica tion ceremonies ended a'fter the ringing of the National Anthem by j the audience. The addition to the club was! started last February but was j greatly delayed in completion due j to the difficulty in obtaining prior ities. The construction of the an nex provides a building twice as large as the original club. Ursuline High School, Columbia, Opens September 13 i COLUMBIA, S.
