Purim Celebration.
M. Kanowitx Spmhj.
Crowded in the soldiers' club-room
of Charlotte, at the Jewish synagogue
it 409 West Seventh street, 300 men
gathered to celebrate the annual festival
of Purim. Wednesday. February
27. The happy and Joyous atmosphere
generally attending such a celebration
was pot lacking and the boys
?Inn urhifh
[OrgOl ail llie euiea onu,i>u...w
might have bothered them and pitched
Into the spjfit of the afTair.
The afTair was prepared for the men
by Messrs. Konowitz and Seligman,
ivho are the representatives of the
Jewish board for welfare work at :
;amp Greene, permanently located at
T" 105. They saw to it that nothing
which might have added to the spirit
>f the affair was lacking.
The custom of sending gifts to our
Friends on this holiday was revived
ind about three hundred packages of
3h'Lach Monos, n$ the gifts are.called,
were distributed to. the men. Throughjut
the evening various refreshments
irinka. cake', candy, ice cream, and
imokes. ;
Before the gifts were distributed. .
Mr. M. Konowitz delivered a short
flk on the message of Purim. "If
Purlm teaches us nothing else," he
said, "it brings home to us the feeing
that no matter how deep we may
?e intrenched in worries and hardihips
there will alfcays be someone to
end us a helping hand, Just as the <
Mighty Redeemer delivered us in the >
:lme of our distress many centuries j
Following the address, the gifts ;
vere distributed. Each package confined
one face towel, one hath towel.
>ne article of knitted goods, one toilet i
article, candy, and a pack ol
:igarettes.
Dancing continued throughout the
svenlrig and ended only when the men
liad to leave because of the "shortlime"
passes. When the lights went
>ut at 11:30 p. m. all felt that the
ifTair would never be blotted from
their memory.

STUNT NIGHT LIVEST OF ^
BASE HOSPITAL EVENTS
Sergeant Zunder's Jazz Band
Proves Ultimate in Assembly
of Shoek "FVoducing,* Sense
Startling Contrivances.
One of the Jivest "happenings at
the live base hospital Y. M. C. A.
is the popular "stunt" night, the
Tuesday occasion. When the second I
"big diddings" evening arrived last
Tuesday the "Y" was crowded. When ;
annlnuded the Derform
era the frame edifice fairly rocked. j
The gold watch went to Jesse Gray, I
the secretary at "Y" building No. 102. I
He enacted the woes and Joys and !
sportive moods of a darky dandy. His J
blackface sketch was called "The El- :
der Cobb." It was a colored whirlwind j
of . Jokes, songs and stories. Come- |
dlan Gray put a grand hit over with !
his dialect song "Somebody Done Me
Wrong."
Many quiet folks who had never
been stirred by Instrumental music
"simply went wild" when Sergeant j
Zunder's Jazz band broke loose. The
sergeant has assembled all the shock
producing, nerve stimulating, sense
startling contrivances of every great I
jazz band in existence. We admit
that the hospital jazz band is unequalled.
For tuneful melody we present the
mixed quartet, composed of two women
nurses and two members of the
enlisted force. Misses Ruhan and
Lazell sang soprano and alto while
Comrades Gates and Ambach furnished
the tenor base for that charming
selection "Oarrv Me Back to Old Vir
grlniai"
Other numbers which went across
in great style were solos by Privates
Gates and Land. Nobody even dares
to guess what will be the rarest
treat of thfe program for next Tuesday
evening. ^
