This organ- ization was supported entirely, at that time, by funds from the National War Camp Community Service drives. In H i B h l a n d Park it supported the Army and Navy Center, and the dances and entertainments given at the high school. At Highwood it sup- Portcd the little Army and Navy Cen- ter known as the Sheridan club, be- ginning in the early part of 1918. For all those purposes the government provided a monthly budket whose funds today unfortunately are ex- thted. and from the date of January 31. 1920, there will be no more finan- Cial support from the government forthcoming.
