MACON, Ga.—Tiic Women's Di
vision of USO-NCCS here has
taken on a new responsibility,
which Mrs. Louise C. Cutler, club
director, regards as “strange but
important”—conducting a sort of
day nursery for children of sol
diers.
“The situation is this,” says Mrs.
Cutler, “wives whose husbands are
here for basic training feel their
stay here is temporary and they
do not want to place the children
in nursery school, they want to
have the children with them.”
“Still, they live in one room and
any wide awake child would drive
its mother to distraction- coopgd
up in one room all day. So—they
started bringing children over
here and now it is a regular prac
tice.”-
Many Army wives turn to the
USO-NCCS as a second home and
the group which meets every day
at the Women’s Division club has
worked out a plan for breakfasts
for some of the children and lunch
each day for mothers and more
children.
Mothers sign up for lunch the
day before so the cooks will know
how many to expect. They take
turns as cooks, one day three girls
will purchase and cook the food
and serve the lunch, another day,
three others will ake over. The
cost of the lunch is shared and the
average cost is from fifteen cents
to a quarter.
Another group takes over the
task of washing dishes each day.
Ten or twelve youngsters, rang
ing in age from about two to six,
are at the club almost every day.
They have their drawing books
and crayons, their blunt pointed
scissors and papers for cutting,
and other things their mothers
bring along for their amusement.
"The children have much more
fun when there are a number of
them to play together,” said Mrs.
Cutler, “and it gives the mothers a
chance to gather with their friends
, and get acquainted with other
' Army wives.”

Lauds Sewing Committee
of Savannah USO-NCCS
(Special to The Bulletin)
SAVANNAH, Ga. — Brigadier
General J. M. Fitzmaurice, Com-
landing Officer of Hunter Field,
has written the following letter to
Mrs. Hugh Helmly, chairman of
the sewing committee of the Na
tional Catholic Community Ser-
,ice, Women's Division, in Savan
nah:
“On behalf of the servicemen of
Hunter Field, 1 wish to take this
opportunity to express my sincere
ppreciation to you and your or
ganization for the line service you
have rendered. It is my personal
belief that you have aided materi
ally in maintaining a high level of
morale, which is a most important
contribution to the mission of the
Army Air Forces.
“It is very gratifying to me and
1 am sure that I express the grat-
de of all servicemen with whom
you ha/e dealt, in sending this let
ter. I would appreciate it very
r uch if you would convey to each
member of your organization this
expression of gratitude, so that
they, too, may know of the ap
preciation of your splendid effort.”
The Hunter Field sewing com
mittee of the USO-NCCS Women's
Division, many of whom have
sons and grandsons overseas, have
been going out to the field every
Friday since the opening of the
club. These volunteers sew from
midday until the work is done,
very often at midnight. Over the
period of time these women have
been rendering this service, they
have been called upon to sew
everything from a chevron to an
old-time bathing suit. The latter
request was made when the boys
f. producing a show and had to
have bathing suits of another era
for eight bombardiers. Th» com
mittee came through and produced
suits that would have been con
sidered the latest style in the “Gay
90’s.”
The faithful workers have ren
dered such a v. luable service to
the boys at the air base that the
IMlor complained that the volun
teers were seriously affecting his
business. Each member of the
committee has well over 1,000
hours of service to her credit, ac
cording to Miss Gertrude Williams,
director of the USO-NCCS Wom
en’s Division here.
