class A type and which hte been

this paper goes to press. The reason
. there'has heen the .delay Jn erecting
. this building is because the repre.
sentatives at Camp Greene, Messrs.
Seligman and Konowitz have been
loathe to advocate a building while
the permanency or the size of the
camp was in doubt. /
Meanwhile, although the representatives
have been very busy consulting
on plans, etc., they have not allowed
their activities in camp.or town
. to fall below the high standard that
? 'they have set in the past On Wed*T
neaday nightj a most enjoyable dance
was held .at the club'room in town,
at 409 West Seventh street. The floor

Home" closed the evening's entertainment
As is the custom, the ladfes of
Hp; Charlotte provided a bounteous and
ife.' most enjoyable repast. On Saturday |

to our ears that many of the' men

Sunday night, one of the most enjoy- I

vate Simons, of the Twenty-eighth

much enjoyed. * Corporal Kirschanblott.
Company C. of the Forty-seventh

Rogaw gave a Daiancmg aci in?i
kept everybody on edge. Tfte Surprise
ot the evening came in a talk
by Pnvate Schrieber, on the future
of the Jewish people. It is our opin^
ion that Schrieber will be at least advocate
general 4f h? atars in the
army long enough. Miss Ethel Smith,
the fofcr year comedian of Charlptte
also contributed an act and as sho
was ill excellent voice, she was very
rthich enjoyed. .Lieutenant RubbinofT
closed "the evening's program and ifs
he said. In his speech, made his farewell
bow' tp- the people-of Charlotte.
He thanked the community ,for. all
that they have done, both for- himself
and for all the other Jewish men .of
Camp Greene." The best ofluck-and a
safe return to you. Lieutenant, RubbinofT.
Charlotte and the representatives
of the Jewish welfare board will
surely miss you.
The activities at camp were also
very much enjoyed during the week.
On Friday night, services w?fre held
as usual at th$ J. W .B. clubrooi^
i and Mr. Konowitz spoke 10 a iargp
I gathering on the Functions of the
j Synagogue. On Tuesday night, the
I camp was visited by representative
of Nashyille. Tenn.. a far-off community.
which has been doing most excellent
work in co-operating with the
! J. W. B. of Camp Greene. Mr. GorI
don gave an excellent talk on the t
j inner feelings that the Jewish People
at home have for their men in
khaki. lie aroused great enthusiasm,
among the men and was heartily applauded.
Private Sieler recited his
interpretation of "Ohunga Dhin." be-1
lng forceful and artistic in the extreme.
Private Emil Greenfield also
recited and the gang singing was not |
quite as harmonious as on other oc-;
caslons, but more than made up for |
j this shortcoming in volume and ppe. :
[Refreshments yrttb-served and the j
lights wont out. On Thursday even-1
, ing. a sociable was held, under the
direction of Mr. Ghossman, the lat- '
est addition to the J. W. B. staff at j
the camp. The nfTair was most en-!
joyed, especially, a, debate, suggested
by Mr.' Grossman. "Were the Ger- :
ntans Inventors." The debate "got so |
hot and excitable that Mr. Grossman [
very wisely called it, a draw and;
served refreshments to still the "Angry
Mob."
