The weekly Wednesday evening!
dance was well attended. In order.to
accommodate the large crowds at .
the entertainments in the temple it
has heen found necessary to erect a j
refreshment booth in the garden. Elec- j
trie lights have been strung over the ;
garden and we will soon have danc- t
ing outdoors as well as indoors.
It has been proposed to keep the J
club room in town open every evening :
in the week for rocial purposes. This
will l?e done as soon as there is evi- j
dence of sufficient leslre on lhe part .
of the men. Mr. Weil, chairman of
the Charlotte bran -h of the Jewish J
Welfare board, will welcome any suggestions
from the men for the means
of better providing for their comfort. '
Mr. Seligman left Camp Greene at"-1
ter having witnessed the passing of*
many divisions. Six months ago the
Jewish Welfare board deemed it advisable
that they be represented at
Camp Greene and the tack of orga-ming
the work was given to Br. Seligman.
At that time there were approximately
3.000 men of the Jewish
faith in this camp but the ?normity|
of the task of helping these men
proved a success mainly through the
earnest endeavors and tireless energy
put forth by Mr. Seligman.
