Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:

saying that they were disappointed
in their sons choice. BUD.
Your husband is probably already
back in the fighting. Soldiers are
not sent home usually, unless they
are wounded so badly that they are
incapacitated for further military
work. Poor little girl! You must
be very unhappy, being told so often
that you are disappointment. How
ever, you can only try your very
best to make Of yourself the kind of
woman they wanted their son to
marry. Be a good wife and q good
daughter. You are still young and

Jewish Welfare Board

To be with the Jewish soldier ev,

serving him Loyalty and helpfully
and through him his country and the
ideals for which it stands-this is
the purpose of the Jewish Welfare
board.
The Star Of David man must be a
multiple benefactor. Every Jewish
boy who comes to camp is his friend
and protege, He must be a spiritual
leader, teacher, guide, councillor
and friend to all boys from all sta
tons of life-of all shades OF
thought. Everything from leading
"minyan" to staging boxing bout
for the entertainment of the boys
falls within his province.
Every Jewish religious observance
of great or minor significance is
marked by services in the camps.
The Jewish Welfare board supplies
prayer books and special literature
and other essentials to orthodox and
reform observances. 1t arranges
with the War and Navy departments
for Holy Day furloughs for Jewish
men on Rosh Ha Sonah, Yom Kip.

pedient, the men are allowed to go
home for the duration of their fur
loughs. In the towns near canton
ments, homes and synagogues are
thrown open to the men in khaki and
blue. The community branches of
the Jewish Welfare board work with
the camp representatives to bring
the soldier and sailor back into the
holiday atmosphere of home.
Keeping step with the boys in
khaki and blue, the Jewish Welfare
board is following the flag to the
battle front Responding to the in
sistent plea of the Jewish boys with
the Stars and Stripes overseas, for
rabbis and welfare workers of their
own faith, a commission of three
prominent men was sent abroad,
and it spent some time in training
camp, hospital and trench. The
