NCCS Closes
Clubs in Augusta
AUGUSTA. Ga.—After four
years of service, the National
Catholic Community Service, mem
ber agency of the ySO. has closed
the doors of its club here.
During the four year period,
some five hundred men and wom
en of Augusta, acting as senior
and junior hosts and hostesses,
have greeted 1,508,000 members
of the Armed Forces, their rela
tives, war workers and their fam
ilies, and in order that th~se
guests of the club might be ade
quately cared for, it was ncessary
for the senior-junior volunteer
group to give 50,000 hours of ser
vice, in "hich they participated
in some 400 dances, gave 209 din
ners and served 500 Sunday break
fasts.
The Women’s Division of NCCS,
under Miss Dorothy Westbrook
and Miss Aileen Howley, was es
tablished for the specific purpose
of serving feminine members of
the Armed Forces, women in war
work, and the wives, mothers, sis
ters and children of service per
sonnel. Special daily programs
were arranged for them, and a
dormitory and a nursery with a
home-like atmosphere were fur
nished, and with a house-mother
in charge, were rendering service
day and night.
The Men’s Division, which was
under the direction o r John P.
Quinn and Miss Pauline Martin,
all programs were centered on the
serviceman. The club provided
showers, shaves and innumerable
personal services, game equip
ment billiards, bowling, and va
ried recreational facilities.
While the NCCS has ceased its
operations here, its spirit will con
tinue. Already the Men’s Division
has been converted into a Catholic
Community Center, under the di
rection of the Very Rev. Msgr.
James J. Grady, with Miss Ann
Markwalter, former secretary of
(he club, as executive secretary of
Ihe new center. The Rev. John
