+ Dear Friend: , oy. .
Will it be possible for you to assist in maintaining the Civilian
Public Service Camps for conscientious objectors? Xxplanations both of
the services rendered by these camps 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, nore than 22 of these camps are now administered
nationally by the service comnittces of tho Friends (Quakers), Brethren
and Menyonites, 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, evon from Northern
Galifornia, those of us who have not beon drafted feol that it is our
“ Pesponsidility to assume a fair ehare of those expenses.
Perhaps you will want to recomnoné to your ow group—whethor it be
a church, a young neoplo's league, or a committee interested in civil
- and religious livertice--‘that a monthly pledge be mado toward support of
— the camps. If you deside to galko a perscnal pledge, you will find
- encouragenen’® from the fact that the work of the camps has been recognized
‘by the governnent to de work of national. importance. Indecd, on several
occasions contributions to tho camps have boea made as substitutes for
defense stamps or bonds.
“. Whatever amount you can contribute will be welcomed. Your gifts will
be forwarded to tho Friends Service Committoe, to be credited as you direct,
Sincerely yours,
na aw
