Many parents, in more or less unobserv- ant homes, receive letters which make them wonder what form of delightful evangelism has swal- lowed up their soldier-sons! Socials take a great deal of planning and here the girls on the campus have the best oppor- tunity to be of service. They are the new civilian leaders and have proudly inherited the Hillel cabi- net posts. They provide the elates and arrange the parties, the smokers, the mixers, the cost sup- pers, and the diversified social functions which give the trainees an effective normal outlet. The sororities and organized houses have enthusiastically become part of the social program. The towns- people, usually organized through efforts of the Jewish Welfare Board, have invariably extended themselves to be helpful. The Hillel director is always NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS!

Trainees come more frequently than do boys in civilian life, be- cause their new experience has rendered them infinitely more serious and there is renewed in- terest in religious and social prob- lems. Besides, the director is a valuable link with normalcy, and the boys welcome the period of informal conversation and coun- sel. On most campuses, by special arrangements with the command- ant, the director, though a civi- lian, has been granted permis- sion to visit the military infirm- aries and hospitals, and his com- forting letters to the parents are a valuable contribution to home morale. Apart from specialized service, the Hillel facilities are always available, and the trainees in free periods, drop in to play ping pong or checkers, to browse in the well-stocked library, to sit quiet- ly over the magazines, to listen to the popular and classical rec- ords, to chat with a pretty hos- tess, (any girl is pretty to a trainee whose regular routine is quite monastic), to write home, or to friends, or for the hun- dred and one quiet and relaxed services which the Hillel head- quarters provide. diers, in their off-periods, welcome the respite to come to a camp- us with its widened opportunity for companionship with young people. The primary responsibil- ity for the camp program rests with the Jewish Welfare Board. The Hillel Foundations have gladly offered their cooperation in this program, for their estab- lished facilities naturally attract the servicemen. At the Univer- sity of Illinois, for example, only 13 miles from Chanute Field, where there are often more than 1,000 Jewish men in training as air mechanics, the Hillel building is used as ancillary headquarter by the Jewish Welfare Board. The J. W. B. representative and the Hillel director work out joint plans to serve hundreds of Cha- nute Field men each week. The Michigan Foundation is similarly utilized by hundreds of men who come in from Fort Custer. They take advantage of a program which is organized primarily for the many trainees in the Judge Advocate General's School for U. S. Army men, the Japanese language contingent, the Army meteorologists, the Army medical corps, the engineering cadets, and the youngsters in many other branches of the service.

Little has been said, not be- TOOL cause the contribution is trivial; Hillel students have an enviable CO. record of war service on every campus. But this type of contri- bution is not unique.

It remains wholesome and vital. The normal program continues without any hiatus. For the registration of girls has not materially declined. There are substantial contingents of deferred students, of young- sters under 18, and of men who cannot pass physical examina- tions. All of these participate in the regular civilian program. Re- ligious services, cultural group3, classes, forums, social welfare projects, interfaith seminars, all flourish. There is no moratorium on the affirmative objectives of the Hillel Foundation. But the campus is now part of the war effort. and Hillel, with well-trained leadership, excellent facilities, a tried technique, and a respected tradition, has gladly thrown its resources into the military pool. It now reaches thousands of young people who remain civilians, but also many thousands of young servicemen on campus and in camp, who must not be neglected by the Jewish community. They are be- ing trained to understand what the war is about. The world of tomorrow is being presented to them as a world of peace, shorn of the terror of naked power, a world which will offer them cre- ative- expression for their poten- tialities. And as part of this ori- entation, they are being intro- duced to the enduring values of their own Jewish heritage. Even in the travail of war, they are learning how to integrate Jewish civilization with wholesome Amer- ican living. Happy New Year To All! GENERAL Linen Supply Co.
