Texas Military Forces Get New Roads
These pictures, taken from the identical spot six months apart, illustrate graphically how WPA
workers transformed a muddy and virtually impassable access road to Camp Wallace, Galveston
County, into a high speed and durable concrete h ighway. In Texas WPA has built and improved
1,423 miles of roads classified by the War Department as of strategic military importance.
YMCA Branches Have Been Available to Men In
United States Armed Forces Since Civil War Days
The Y. M. C. A. has been serv
ing members of America’s armed
forces since the Civil War, offi
cials recalled here today, as the
1,300 Y. M. C. A.s in the United
States prepared to celebrate the
ninety-seventh anniversary of the
founding of the association.
Within a few months after the

dustries. Working conditions of
many of these young men prevent
their enjoyment of normal, youth
ful recreation. This is due to the
odd hours in which they work or
the fact that big factories have
sprung up in towns not equipped
to handle the sudden influx of
Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion. The new organization became
greatly popular due to the fact that
many young workers desired to
improve conditions under which
they had been living. During the
period of unrest following the In
dustrial Revolution, gambling,
drunkeness and vice were almost
Civil War began, a Y. M. C. A.
army committee known as the
Christian Commission was appoint
ed to work among soldiers.
Again during the Spanish-Ameri
can War the Y. M. C. A. extend
ed a helping hand to over 250,000
American soldiers and sailors.
After the close of'the Spanish-
American War, officers and men
urged'‘the Y. M. C. A. to organize
a permanent department to serve
members of the Army and Navy.
This was done, and in 1898 the
first permanent Army and Navy
Branch was established.
During the World War the Y. M.
C. A., according to General Persh
ing, conducted -nine-tenths of the
civilian work among the Ameri
can forces in Europe. In addition,
the association aided some 19,000,-
000 soldiers of the Allied Armies
plus over 5,000,000 prisoners of
war.
The Y. M. C. A. is carrying on
today in the spirit that has char
acterized its service to America’s
defenders in the past. It now has
101 branches devoted exclusively
to serving members of the Amer
ican Army and Navy. This ser
vice is being expanded as rapid
ly as possible. Many civilian Y.
M. C. A.’s have greatly extended
their program to serve young men

young men.
It was under somewhat similar
conditions that the. Young Men’s
Christian Association had its incep
tion in a small room in a drapery
shop in London. George Williams,
a young clerk of nineteen, and
eleven of his friends among the
clerks who lodged in that business
house, met and organized a club
so that they might help each other
and put into active practice the
Christian principles in which they
believed.
For three years, groups of young
men met in Williams’ room for
prayers and Bible study. They had
formed a Mutual Improvement So
ciety and a Young Men’s Mission
ary Society.
In 1844, George Williams and
his small group of friends formed

State Nutrition Committee Meets To
Discuss Problems of Food in Defense
A unified state food and nutri
tion program designed to strength
en the total population for its de
fense effort, as well as to meet the
state’s long-range health needs, was
adopted by the Texas State Nutri
tion Committee during a meeting
in Austin, October 13-14.
Economic assistance for Texas
families unable to produce or pur
chase a well-balanced diet was one
objective of the broad program, so
the committee endorsed an over
all price control bill, recommended
legislation which would remove the
occupation tax on dealers in oleo
margarine, and resolved to work
toward adjustment of freight rate
differentials.
To accomplish its objectives the
group planned for the setting up of
volunteer food and nutrition com-
