the world have sent holiday greet-
ings to their people back home
on the occasion of Rosh Hash-
onah. From the searing deserts
of Egypt and North Africa, from
battle-scarred areas of Italy, from
the tropic islands of the South
Pacific, and from other spots
where embattled democracy is
entrenched today, these greetings
come.
Those from whom these holi-
day wishes come are representa-
tive of all Jewish boys and girls,
men and women in uniform. They
hail from typical American com-
munities and wear the insignia
of many different branches of
our armed forces. They remem-
ber the holidays with longing,
and hope in the not too distant
future to be back with their
families so they may take up
again where they left off.
From Chaplain (Captain) Sam-
uel W. Chomsky, whose wife,
Mrs. Ida K. Chomsky, lives at
7043 S. Merrill Ave., Chicago,
Ill., and whose father, J. N.
Chomsky, lives in Cincinnati, 0.,
and who has served in Australia,
New Guinea, and surrounding is-
lands since leaving the United
States Dec. 14, 1942:
"The High Holy Days this year
will be observed by thousands of
Jewish service men and women
in the Southwest Pacific area.
Religious services will be held in
the cities of Australia and in
every base or battle area of New
Guinea and surrounding islands.
These services will be led, wher-
ever possible, by Jewish chap-
lains, lightened by the enthusias-
tic aid and advice of Christian
chaplains and of American Red
Cross workers.
"The Jewish men and their
leaders will pray that this year
will bring the successful conclu-
sion of this war and usher in a
long era of peace and reconstruc-
tion. Mingled with their own
personal prayers and meditations
will be the thoughts of their
comrades in arms, regardless of
denomination. And, about all,
their thoughts will turn to their
beloved ones at home. May they
soon be reunited."

of Mrs. Rose Weiner, 446 King-
