DaytOna Beach

Twenty-eight-year-old Private
Harry A. Meyerson, son Of a
Brooklyn, N. Y, rabbi, arrived in
Daytona Beach last week as part
of the enlisted personnel attached
to the Women's Auxiliary Corps
Second Training Center. Inquiry
on his part revealed that this
winter resort city had one syna-
gogue but no rabbi and therefore
no Jewish services.
So Private Meyerson, who had
attended Talmud Torah and
Yeshivas (parochial schools) for
over Is years, stepped right in and
conducted his own services. More
than 100 persons, including good
sprinkling of WAACS, enlisted
men and sailors, attended the first
Friday evening services at Temple
Israel. Meyerson, the soldier turn
ed Chaplain, has agreed to hold
services each week.
A former dress trimmings sales
man in New York City, Meyerson
has been in the army one year.
At Camp Holobird at Baltimore
he often helped the posts Jewish
Chaplain conduct services.
His father, the Rev. Abraham S.
Meyerson, was connected with
Congregation Chouevei Torah and
Temple Petach Tikvah, both in
Brooklyn. Private Meyerson, who
has an older brother stationed in
the armed forces at Fort Knox,
KY, is engaged to Miss Pauline
-y.ramer of Brooklyn.

blond puncher from Paterson, N. j.,
undoubtedly will return here soon

No. ! man among the heavyWeights

Savold spent only g. seconds in
the arena ring with New Yorker
Eddie Blunt, but in that short span
he left both Blunt and the custom
ers in daze. The 220-pound Negro
hit the canvas four times and took
the full count on his last trip, max
ing it difficult for every one to un-
dersand how the 195-pound Savold
lost to Blunt in Akron, Ohio, three
week ago
Lee has a simple explanation: II
just wasn't in shape and it taught
me good lesson. I have to have
my speed. Unless I can move right
and punch sharp I'm not at my
best"
Normally a counterpuncher, Sa-
void rushed from his corner last
night and sent Blunt down for a
two-count with a right. Another
right dropped the Negro ior no
count, then came a left for a toll of
nine, another left-and Blunt didn't
get up.
Uncle Like Jacobs was lust about
ready, to cancel Savold's November
5 Madison Square Garden date with
Tami Mauriello after the Akron
loss, so Lee was anxious to erase the
memory of that affair.
Savold lost to Bivins in dull fight
at the Garden last November. II
guess the place has been fumigated
by now" Lee quips. I'VE both had
the same idea he explains. "to let
the other guy do the leading. After
waiting for counterpunches We both
got so we couldn't do anything. That
fight changed me. I'm through with
waiting for contemplating and am
