The following is a list of committee 1 members and non-committee members of both USO’s whose services were [ gratus and very much appreciated by ' M.A.L.F. personnel: Mrs. Sarah Mar [ iner, director, Miss Hettie Jerkins, ! staff aide (colored USO), Mrs. R.

P. Ricks, Jr., chair- ■ man of the local USO Committee, de sires to be made known the back ground and personalities responsible for making the USO’s a reality. , The idea of establishing a lounge c for the service men originated early ’ last fall at a circle meeting of the Episcopal Church, when presented by Mrs. Gordon Bennett. I Mrs. Viola J. Quilty, who formerly 1 worked with overseas entertainment, . learned of the interest in establishing additional recreational facilities for the service personnel, and at her own expense made the initial contact with I the United Service Organizations, Inc. i A group of interested citizens met October hi, 195.1, at the home of Mrs. Bennett, after it was realized that such an operation was too extensive for a local group. Based on a report j by Mrs. Quilty, it was found neces sary to secure the hacking of local or ganizations and churches. J. P. Ricks, Jr., acted as spokesman for the group and obtained the endorsement of a majority of the churches and clubs for USO. Col. Cana van. com manding officer of the Marine Auxili ary Airfield, wholeheartedly approved the idea. Tom Kunz, associate Regional Exe cutive of United Sendee Organiza tions. Tnc., of Atlanta, Ga., was pres ent for the first committee meeting with representatives from the various’ organizations and churches attending. ( Mr. Kunz at that time expressed the opinion of a desperate need for USO facilities, hut because of a limited na tional USO budget recommended that ■ chances for securing USO service | would he far greater if the town could ; provide rent free locations. A committee was appointed, com- j posed of Dr. A. F. Downum, Father Francis McCourt and Mrs. Ricks to investigate available locations for both Negro and white USO’s. Mr. I Ricks recommended that the merch lants be requested to contribute a nom inal monthly fee to provide for the rental. At the December meeting the com mittee was set up according to the ' USO policy statement. Elected to 1 office were Mrs. Ricks, chairman; Tom Sharpe, co-chairman, and Park er Helms, treasurer. The office of secretary was later filled by Mrs. Ade laide Chesson. In the meantime members of the t committee were conducted on a tour' of the base that they might see the lack of recreational facilities. Following through an investigation '• of likely locations, the committee vet- 1 od to rent the ballroom of the Joseph j Howes Hotel for the white USO at $75 per month. Mr. Sharpe reported that the Brown-Carver Library was avail able ront free provided tho present librarian’s salary be supplemented, which met with approval of the com mittee. i It was not until May 19 that a tele gram was received advising the com mittee that USO’s had been approved i lot Edenton. A meeting was imme diately called at Which Mrs. Sarah H. Marriner. director of the New Bern FREE PARTY ■ fries Hahn. folJ SE ;; vrr ■ BRING YOUR lr, ge r U *lTs ■ FRIENDS I : \ Byrum Hardware Company i “YOUR WESTINGHOUSE DEALER” EDENTON, NORTH CAROLIN USO, of which Edenton is an exten sion, was present for the meeting and ■ informed the group that the Edenton USO’s were under the direction of Major M. I. McMahon of the Salva tion Army, the member agency which serves this area. Mrs. R. P. Badham was named to serve as staff aide at the white USO and Miss Hattie Jerkin as staff aide for the Negro USO. Plans were gotten underway for ' furnishing the ballroom with Mrs. i Quilty named as chairman of the fur nishings committee. Assisting her on the committee were Mrs. Badham, Mrs. Marian James, Mrs. Bennett, Miss Jerkin and Mr. and Mrs. Ricks, who met at Mrs. Quilty’s home to plan for securing furniture locally. The j Negro USO was well furnished with i furniture from the previous USO lo- j cated there during the war. It became immediately apparent | that furniture was not available loc ally and through Lt. Col. B. B. Man- 1 Chester, arrangements were made to j secure furniture temporarily from Cherry Point. The USO Building Services are to come in the next few months and furnish the USO ade quately. Grayson Harding, owner of the Jo seph Hewes Hotel, has cooperated ful ly with the committee and kept the ballroom available to USO for nearly [ six months. He also painted and sup plied the material for drapes, as well as arranging other details. Cor nices were made for the ballroom by C. B. Mooney. The Negro USO interior was made more attractive with a coat of paint [donated by Mr. Harding and the ma- ' j terial for new drapes was contributed : by Belk-Tyler’s and made by the Ma rines at the Parachute Loft. Naturally without the financial backing of the merchants and inter ested citizens USO would have been impossible. Credit is to be given to Parker Helms, who as treasurer, was in charge of the fund raising. Special thanks for his invaluable assistance goes to Lt. Col. B. B. Man chester, commanding officer of the Marine Airfield, who made available the Hobby Shop for repairing fumi- 1 ture and the Parachute Loft for mak- [ ing the draperies. The Officers’ Club • [ provided a TV set. which was repaired 1 i free by Jackson Radio Service. Col. 1 Manchester arranged for the buses to I he routed by both service clubs for the convenience of the service men 1 and gave publicity on the base of the i USO. i' Mrs. Margaret Davis, who was aril; [active worker with the USO during I the war, accented the chairmanship of the Hostess Committee. Serving with her as co-chairman is Mrs. W. C. Carton. It has been impossible to name all the persons contributing their efforts to the success of the USO. hut credit 1 does go to Miss Esther Hobowsky. I Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gentile, John EL;' liott.

Small, Mrs. T. M. Williams, Mabel B. Collins, Mrs. Ada Brown, Mrs. Ruth Franks, Mrs. Aggie Holley and Grady Sessoms for their coopera tion during the months of attempting to obtain USO. The opening date for the USO was set for July 15 with an open house planned for the public in the after noon and a dance for the service men in the evening. Doing an excellent job with the opening were Mrs. Dallie Moriarity, publicity; Mrs. Garton, refreshments, assisted by Mrs. Bennett; Mrs. Ruby Ruzicki, decorations, assisted by Mrs. Marian James, and Chaplain Veltman [for the musical arrangements, i Prior to the opening a vast amount [of work was done by Mrs. Quilty and i wives of service men cleaning and making the USO’s attractive for the opening. M iss Hattie Jerkin, under the direction of Mrs. Quilty, prepared [the library for the opening. James Blount, who is serving as coordinator for the Negroes while Tom Sharpe is away, assisted with arrangements for the opening. Since the opening which was at tended by over 350 Marines at the ho tel. each evening has had a good crowd making use of the facilities. Mrs. Badham and Miss Jerkin are to be especially commended for their jobs as staff aides. Os special signifi cance is the number of junior hos tesses, who are participating in the activities to make the USO’s popular to the boys. The senior hostesses are rendering invaluable assistance to the over all operation of the USO pro gram. Now that the USO’s have been in operation for a week, it is the hope of the chairman that we will be able to offer a much fuller program as time passes. The favorable comments by the servicemen on the USO have been most gratifying. Lesrion And Auxiliary Officers To Be Installed (Continued From Page One) ous base in Scotland.
