EIGHT-A THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LA VMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA SEPTEMBER 25, 1948 DIOCESAN MODERATOR OF NCOS VISITS COLUMBUS—Monsignor T. James McNamara, of Savannah, moderator of the National Catholic Community Service for the Diocese of Savannah- Atlanta, is pictured on a recent visit to the NCCS Club in Columbus. Monsignor McNamara in spected the club and discussed its operation with Louis C. Kunze, president, and William Fortson, treasurer of the local NCCS committee; Richard Fisher, executive secretary of the club, and Father Herman J. Deimel, the local moderator. Pictured above, left to right, are Mr. Fortson, Mr. Kunze, Monsignor McNamara, Father Deimel and Mr. Fi sher. The club was operated by the NCCS as a member agency of the United Service Organizations until December of last year, when the USO was dissolved. The Administrative Board of the National Catholic Welfare Council deemed it neces sary to retain certain clubs in the areas of permanent military installations and veterans hospitals, so the club in Columbus has remained in operation as a recreational center for service men and women stationed at Fort Benning.

NGGS in Columbus Entertaining Young Soldrs From North (Special to The Bulletin) COLUMBUS, Ga—That sweet Southern drawl of Columbus miss es has taken Fort Benning's New England colony by storm, and the new seventeen and eighteen-year- oid recruits, most of them from Massachusetts, New York and points north, profess to be com pletely intrigued by “the way you all talk.” Such is the report teen-age hostesses at the recreational cen ter here where the Army-Navy YMCA has combined forces with the NCCS to provide dances, en tertainments, picnics, game nights and other activities, social and athletic for the boys in uniform, many of them only a step away lrom high school proms. One of the biggest problems, ac cording to Miss Nancy Anne O’Keefe, assistant executive sec retary of the NCCS, is finding enough qualified junior hostesses. “The girls seem to feel,” she stated, ‘ that the war is over and their help is no longer needed. But now, with all the teen-age boys in the service, their help is needed more than ever before. ’ “We have more than a hundred hostesses, which is quite a few. But when you consider that we are giving a picnic Sunday with over four hundred young recruits signed up, why double our mem bership would- still be too few. All of the activities are chap eroned by adult volunteers and on several occasions there have been some mother-daughter combina tions, with .mother acting as a senior and daughter as a junior hostess. Colonel Onto Bragan, special service officer at Fort Benning, commented that the military au thorities regard the club as a big addition to post recreational fa cilities. Father Herman Deimel, pastor of Holy Family Church, is mod erator of the NCCS Club, and the committee includes Louis C. Kunze, chairman; William Fort son, treasurer; M. G. Murray, Jr., secretary, and W. G. Bridges, Rich ard H. Fleming, Vincent McCau ley. Mrs. W. B. Scanlon, Mrs. G. W. Burke and Colonel Bragan as board members.
