THROUGH mud and rain, 

 through gas and shrapnel, our 

 boys are pushing on to Victory. It's a 

 task that tries the souls of strong men. 

 They must have rest and recreation. 



At the canteens, they buy the little 

 comforts of life at cost. In the war- 

 service huts, they find everythingneed- 

 ful to write the letters you receive. 

 They attend a show, see a "movie" or 

 hear good music — all free. Always, 

 they find in the hut secretary a friend. 

 They forget for a little while the grim 

 scenes of war and return to duty re- 

 freshed. These are some of the things 

 that keep fighting men at top notch. 



YOURS is the task of growing the 

 food these fighting men must 

 have. The toiling millions in the 

 munition factories, arsenals and ship- 

 yards also look to you for sustenance. 

 And they do not look in vain, 



Your work is vital to winning the 

 war and you are doing it manfully, 

 mindful of Country, forgetful of self. 

 You are working early and late, putting 

 forth your strength unsparingly. You 

 have produced bounteous crops that 

 feed a hungry world. Yet to you are 

 spared the comforts of home and the 

 presence of loved ones. Yours are the 

 privileges of earning and giving. 



Give to "keep good men good and brave men strong." Give to bring cheer to those 

 who are daring their all for you and yours. And when the boys come home victorious, 

 you can honestly say, "I have done my part, too. I have backed you to the limit." 



Seven allied activities, all endorsed by the Government, are combined in the United War Work Cam- 

 paign, with the budgets distributed as follows: Y. M. C. A., $100,000,000; Y. W. C. A., $15,000,000; 

 National Catholic War Council (including work of the Knights of Columbus and special war 

 activities for women), $30,000,000; Jewish Welfare Board, $3,500,000; American Library Asso- 

 ciation, $3,500,000; War Camp Community Service, $15,000,000; Salvation Army, $3,500,000.
