Scope and content
Publicity for Community Chest. In September, 1942, the newest U.S.O. in Tacoma opened on Commerce St. It was specifically to be used by servicemen of color and was considered to be as attractive a recreational center as any of those then operating in Tacoma. Dedication ceremonies were held on September 4, 1942. The center was packed with young soldiers and their guests; as pictured above, the men wore their dress uniforms and the women, lovely gowns.
