Miss Marion Freed has been
named by the Jacksonville chap
ter of Senior Hadassah and by
the Jacksonville Zionist District
as the director of the Jacksonville
Zionist Youth Commission. Miss
Freed's special duties will be in
the direction of the Young Judea
Clubs in the city, and toward that
end she has asked for all men or
women interested in obtaining
leadership in a club to contact
her.
There are at present six Young
Judea Clubs in Jacksonville. Miss
Freed feels that more could be
organized if there were ample
adult leadership. Meetings will
be held with the leaders to ac-
quaint them with the Young Judea
program, and Miss Freed extends
an invitation for leadership in the
movement to anyone who is inter-
eSted.
The director feels that there
may be young women who have
recently moved to Jacksonville
who might be interested in taking
charge of a club. If before they
have had experience in Young
Judea work then they will well
come this opportunity of continu-
ing their activity; if they are in
terested in youth work, and never
before been active in it Miss
Freed feels that they can be train
ed in the work.
Miss Freed has as her CO.
chairman Mrs. Nathan Dwoskin
who has been associated with
Young Judea in this city for many
years.
Recently returning from a two
weeks training period at Camp
BrandieS, where she was sent by
the Jacksonville Zionist groups,
Miss Freed said that the expert
ence which was hers during those
two weeks under the tutorship of
some of the most outstanding
Zionist leaders and thinkers in the
country. has given her a new pros
pective on the Jewish place in the
scheme of things. She feels that

 The airport conference follows weeks of intensive effort upon the part of MT. Murphy to form local committees throughout the state to prepare for a new era in aviation and airplane transportation which will follow the war.
 Many cities and towns are look ing ahead to the day when peace comes and the return to pcacetime pursuits which should bring in- creasingly greater use of the air. plane for intra-state, interstate and international transportation, MT.

 These items for prisoners of war are purchased and shipped through the facilities of the American Red Cross, but are financed by the United Yugoslav Relief Fund, which is sponsored by the American Friends of Jugoslavia. Inc. They supplement supplies of standard food parcels which JugoslaV prisoners are receiv- ing through governmental arrange mcnts. Hence there is no overlapping on governmental relief.
 Supplies provided by the fund are shipped by the American Red Cross to the International Red Cross com mittee in Geneva and are then dis tributed to the camps under Inter- national Red Cross supervision. Re- ports from Geneva indicate there is no interference in the distribution of these supplies and that losses Tn transit are negligible.

Heroes In Wor-The
 Engineers
By C. R. CUNNINGHAM United Press Staff COrrespOndcnt)

Nicosia, Sicily, July 30-Dclayed) -(UP) The combat engineers, who are called upon to work and fight, and who sometimes do both at the same time, are the unSung heroes of the Sicilian or any other campaign.
 The combat engineers have been working and fighting beside the troops from the day of the initial landing on Sicily. They constructed bridges during the thick of the fight ing at Gcla and during that action every man of them was told to draw extra rounds of ammunition and "gct in the firing line" to help staVe of the German second day threat which all but pushed the American landing force back into the sea.
 One of the engineers units here has been in the thick of the fighting ever since the battle of of KaSserine Pass, back in Tunisia and is credited with constructing in IS hours, un- der enemy fire, a strategically To- cated bridge which shortened by days the taking of immediate Allied objectiyes.
 Engineers Take Over
 The Germans had blown up a bridge on curve, cutting off all traific and necessitating the rerout- ing of all columns of men and sup plies some 30 miles to reach the front. The stream spanned by the bridge erased A deep mountain chasm, making a bypass impossible. So the combat engineers took over.
 Sgt. Russell Watson. of Enoru, (probably Enoree) s. C., told me about 1t. We started clearing ap- breaches with a bulldozer," he said. Tt was tough going, but AS soon as that was done we really got rolling. We threw the actual fg2n across the stream in six hours.
 Wed hardly completed the span" he said. when a group of workers on the other side put down the ramps for an approaching traffic jeep, A full colonel drove up and walked across the bridge. We kept him waiting only IS minutes until the ramps on the other side were down. Then the colonel called to his driver to bring the jeep across.
 Just as he started driving away" Watson said, some WaS in the en- gireers shouted, 'Okay, guys We can tear It down now"

 Specaii to NEA Service

An AmcrGan Port Tn Iran, Aug. 4. A raliroader named Spike. who used to haul the mixed train from South Bend to Plymouth on the Pennsylvania Panhandle Division, was making up his train in the yards here when someone mentioned the weather.
 And weather here is something to mention. For if 1t sn'tt SHR ETA mention. For If 1t isn't the worlds hottest place, 1t stands close to the top.
 T don't notice the weather ex- actly," Spike said. You sec this war. now. don't wait on. weather. We're hauling stuff for those Russians to fight with and it's got to get there. And we're getting 1t there.
 "rhese little 25-ton American diesel engines are hauling out 30 and 40-can trains at the rate of i've or six a day And we're kicking those cars over the hump so fast that even q division super back home would be tickled"
 Spike is working on the most im- portant 300 miles of main line in the world, the Iranian State Rail- road, taken over now by Americans. over It's twisting tracks American crews are hauling thousands of tons a day of vital war supplies, guns and tanks and ammunition, food and medical supplies needed by the Red Army at the front.
 Down at the southern end of the line around the scattered ports where ships unload, train and yard crews from our own Gulf Coast are sweating 1t out. NorthWard, in what is probably the worlds hottest des- ert, men from the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific highball the freight over 200 bllstcring miles to the mountains.
 There railroadcrs from American mountain lines take over. The Vest ern Pacific and D. & R. c. and the Great Northern have contributed experienced young trainmen for this division of the lifeline to Russai. Farther north where the land flat tens out again, the cargocs are pushed toward the Russian frontier by crews from the prairie state lines, the Northwestern, the Wa bash, the Milwaukee and the Illinois Central.
 These men are doing one of the toughest jobs of railroading In the world. They're doing 1t without complaining, because they know that

The morale of American troops in this field is high-astonishingly so in the face of blistcring heat, dust storms, and the filth and disease that require most native towns to be placed off limits.
 To countcract these ennerVating discomforts, the Americans have plenty of good food, plenty of cig- arettcs, quick mail delivery from home, and the unfailing American sense of humor.
 Second-class mail is still delayed, but enlarged V-mail facilities are getting letters from wives and sWeethcarts, to men at distant deS- crt posts two or three weeks after they leave the United States.
 A few companies of British en- tcrtainers are being flown through the Middle East. visiting American as well as British posts in a series of bzlistering one-night stands. And at a place which many British and American officers call "tne hottest post in the world" there is library of several hundred volumes, a ping pong table and checker boards,
