vides Numberless Intimate Com
forts For Soldiers
Club room."? for soldiers, entertain
ments for the boys in khaki, outings
for convalescent men back from
France, small, but appreciated ser
. vices to soldiers and their relatives
and friends-these are some of tho
manifold activities of the War Camp
Community Service.
The War Camp Community Ser
vice comes close to the intimate life
of the soldier and provides for his
mental as well as physical comfort
by furnishing the facilities which
make it possible for him to relax
from the strayi of militan* training
and the preparation for overseas
fighting.
Its symbol is the red circle and its
activities are as unending as the cir
cumference of its insignia. Thou
sands of soldier boys take advantage
of its facilities and other thousands
of relatives and friends of the boys
in Uncle Sam's uniform are daily
benefited through its various ave
nues of effort.
BUILDING MORALE
OF JEWISH TROOPS
Work Of Jewish Welfare Board Pro
ducing Splendid Results In
Campe and Trenches
No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en
gaged in its task of keeping up the
lines of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training camps and the folks h?.ck
home.
Believing that in the stn: -v'e of
morale against "kultur" the .?' rican
army has every advantage th t will
Insure success, the Jewish organiza
tion is making its chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers of the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers is urgent
and rabbis, professional men. journal
ists, social workers and others are j
ent?rine: the service of thc Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.
