IH&i * It will interest all friends of the Jewish welfare board of Camp'Greene r to learn that a building has been offlclally sanctioned both by Washlng; ton and by our central office in New/ York. This building will berbf the] class A type and which hte been ' $& found most suitable for use in the largest camps and' cantonments in 'this country. Work willbe begun .on - this building, probably by the "tiipe 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 W, was crowded from the first one-step until the strains of "Home Sweet) 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 | 'night, the usual smoker was held, and! " enjoyed by all the men. It has come I to our ears that many of the' men {these Saturday night smokers. On Sunday night, one of the most enjoy- I able affairs ever held at the club room J took place. Over 156 men were pres- j ent and practically the entire community was at the club room to wcl- I come them. Mr. Nabow. who de-!

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.

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." ?
