. Dear Friends | oa Se oO a (
Will it be possible for you to assist in maintaining the Civilian
Public Service Camps for conscientious objectors? Ccplanations both of
_ the services rendered by these carps and of the serious financial assis-
tance needed appears on the enclosed page. If further information ia
desired, we shall gladly furnish it at your request.
As you may know, more than 22 of these camps are now administered
nationally by the service comnittces of tho Friends (Quakers), Brethren
and Mennonites, who necessarily will bear the ultimato costs of all
campers who have neither indopendent rescurces nor supnort from church .
or community. Since there are many such campers, even from Northern
_ California, those of us who have not been drafted feol that it is our
' Pesponsibility to assume a fair share of these expenses.
Perhaps you will want to recommend to your owm group—vhether it be
. & ehurch, a@ young nesplo's league, or a committee interested in civil
- and religious liderticr--that a nonthiy pledge “be mado toward support of
~- -. the camps. If you deside bo wako a perscnal pledge, you will find
. encouragenon’: from the fact that the work of tha catps has been recognized
by the government’ to be work of nationaJ. importance. Indecd, on several
* @@Casions contributions to the camps have boea made as substitutes for
defenso startps or bonds.
’ Whatever amount you can contribute will be welcomed, Your gifts will
be forwarded to tho Friends Service Commi ttoe, to be credited as you direct,
Sincorcly yours,
LE. E Jes,
