The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1947-09-12

The National Jewish Welfare
Board had officially represented
the coordinated interests of Amer
lean Jews in World War I and in
the years of peace, and it was
therefore the logical body to which
this job in the approaching second
world war might be trusted. It
was the JWB that by common
consent undertook to set up an or
ganization which would gather,
assemble, classify and interpret
the facts of Jewish participation
in World War II.
That organization, when estab-
lished, was named the Bureau of
War Records of the National Jew
ish Welfare Board. It was launch
ed on October 9, 1914, barely two
months before Pearl Harbor. It
was sponsored at the outset by 81
national Jewish organizations and
ultimately by 38.
Representatives of the sponsor

promotional and supervisory or
ganization. 1t set itself the tasks
of:
1. Formulating procedures for
organizing local war record
committees.
2. Outlining techniques for
gathering local information.
8. Establishing standard cler-
ical forms - record cards, re-
ports, letters of inquiry and the
like.

ing organizations made up an Ad-
visory Committee of the Bureau.
Then a Technical Committee OF
eminent statisticians was named,
to guide the Bureau in its process
es and to review it's findings.
Chairman of both Committees was
DR.. Louis I. Dublin, second vice
president of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company and it's chief
statistician. A better choice to
assure sound and scientifically
correct result could have hardly
been made.
The Bureau needed, first of all,
to analyze the job that lay ahead
of it, to assess the problems it
would face.
The Technical Committee inm-
ediately entered on preliminary
inquiry into the nature and scope
of the program before it. A con-
ference with War and Navy De-
partment officials soon disclosed
that Jewish servicemen could not
be identified as such by an exam
nation of the official records.
This outlined the first and major
problem. The Bureau would have
to work directly through the COM
munities themselves, and would
have to develop with them the
ways of measuring the extent of
Jewish participation.
It would have to start almost
from scratch. There were, for one
thing, no reliable figures as to the
number of Jews in the United
States, or even in the larger cities
in which the greater part of Amer
lean Jews live. All that made it
clear that the Bureau would have
to operate on a decentralized plan,
relying on the much-needed basic
information, such as the number
of Jews in the service from each
community and what proportion
they formed of the local Jewish
population. Local communities
meant the Jewish groups, in the
several states, in hundreds of
counties and in over a thousand
cities and towns.
The national office, located in
New York, became the planning,

teering for military service.
Among American Jewish Lead
ers it was readily recognized that
one important project that must
be carried out if war came would
be that of compiling a record, as
complete as possible, of the Jewish
contribution to the war effort.

Artificial Breeding
Association To Be
Set Up in County

Final arrangements have been
made for putting artificial breeding
into practice in dairy herds in Gar
rett County, according to information
received by John H Carter, County
Agent. This work already is under
way in twelve counties in Maryland
and has been in practical operation
by dairy farmers for the past ten
years, he said.
Extension dairymen recommend
the program as the most efficient
method for improving the average
dairy herd over short period of
time. Charter members of the Gar
rett County Association will meet on
July IA, at the Sunnyside Grange
Hall for the purpose of electing of
ficers for their association.
County Agent Carter advises that
work will start in August of this
year and that dairymen interested in
becoming members of the association
should contact the County Agents
office, preferably before the meeting
date of July IA.

J. D. Murray Explains
Absence of a Week

1t takes long time to travel from
Mt. Lake Park to Thomas, w. Va,
via Mt Storm, or so it seems with
j. d. Murray who started a week ago
Monday and did not arrive until Fri
day.
Authorities had been notified of his
disappearance last week when he
failed to report for work at Thomas
where he was engaged as stone
mason. His absence was held unac-
countable except for possible auto
trouble as he was travelling in a Ford
sedan of about 1881 vintage.
Mr.. Murray had no idea he was be-
ing searched for until his arrival at
Thomas. There he explained that he
had been visiting friends at Mt.
Storm during the week. Mr.. Murray
is past seventy-tive years of age.
