Your deeds, your talks of cheer, your very j personality has been an inspiration i to my hoy to make the best of things and to become a good loyal American soldier.' I pray to the Almighty to keep- you in good< health so that you will be able to continue your noble work among our soldiers. "With wishes for your* continued success, 1 am, i "Most sincerely yours.

These huts are used, by the J. W. B. representatives for administrative purposes and by the uniformed men in camp for recreai - tional purposes. The Jewish Welfare board has awarded a contract for a $12,000 building to be erected in Reward park, m the heart of New York's East Side. Work has begun' and the building V - will be completed before winter. The hut will Ufe equipped with a Kosher r^A- kitchen and canteen and.with reading and writing facilities for the thousands of Jewish soldiers and sailors, who pass through the city. The Charlotte community branch of the J. W. B. is making: elaborate arrangements for entertaining the soldiers of this camp during the next few months'. The regular Wednesday evening dance and Sunday night entertainments are to be continued on a larger scale. . and an additional event Is being planned for Monday night. Great credit is due to all the workers but in particular to Will Weill, the chairman: Michael Klrschbaum. vice chairman; Dave Nabow, secretary; M. B. Smith, treasurer, and Miss Carolina Nathan, chairman hospital visiting committee. These folks . not only look out for the soldiers in town, but from time to time also send gifts and smokes to the J. W. B. fee. building in camp for distribution , lg?i among the men who come there. jig?,, A proof of the co-operation that [jgjfr exists between the welfare agencies the cantonments* and camp can pv , very often be seen at the Jewish jfe"; welfare building in Camp Greene.

A., headed by Rev. ?';> f Dr. Day, of Bridgeport, Conn., stop' ped In the pretty blue and white building and those who were inside witnessed an Interesting conversation In Hebrew by Dr. Day and Mr. Silverman. .The two gentlemen formed a warm friendship upon short acquaintance and when Dr. Day departed he Wffwfm *, TREftCH j El$%Vl m H ? >ok with him an autographed copy f the Old Testament, presented to Im by Mr. SUverman. This spirit f friendship is enjoyed by the J. V- B. representatives from all the M. C. A. and K. of C. secretaries 1 camp. A"special warm friendship xists between Mr. Silverman.
