Service Men's Center, Fort Worth, Texas is closing. Pictured here are Mrs. Orville Tunstill and Corporal (Corp.) Tom Harrington. Both are shown standing near a window and shaking hands. Mrs. Tunstill is wearing a skirt, coat and a hat with veil and Corporal (Corp.) Harrington is in his military uniform. Mrs. Tunstill, director of Service Men's Center (SMC), as she prepares to close door there for last time and bids farewell to one of the last men to be served, Corporal (Corp.)
