OUR BOYS AT NEWPORT.

Mr.. Oscar Kleckner, formerly an at
torney of this city, who is stationed at
Newport, Rhode Island, in the United
States Naval Reserve Forces, has been
on a visit with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Max Kleckner, 1905 10th avenue south,
on a furlough. He will report back to
Newport on August the second to en-
ter the Officers Training School in the
Merchant Marine. After completing his
course he will receive his commission
as ensign.
Mr.. Kleckner reports that there are
about eight hundred Jewish men in the
Naval Reserve forces at Newport, which
is far above our proportion, since the
entire force at Newport consists of about
twenty-five hundred enlisted men. These
eight hundred men attend services in
the synagogue every week in a body.
The Jewish Welfare Board and the peo-
pie of Newport are doing good work for
these boys. Newport has only about
two hundred and forty Jewish families
and their service to the boys in the
United States Army and Navy is build
ing up the future generation. It is max
ing real men of the boys and they will
come back stronger mentally and phys
ically.
Mr.. Oscar Kleckner left for Newport
on July the thirtieth.
