and a half ago. He was a Tech-
nician Fifth Grade.

Cpl. William Newman
Feted by Non-Jews
Family Told of Son's Stay in
England; He is Now at
African Bomber Base
Life on an African Allied
bomber base was described as
"a lot of hard work and no for-
malities" in, a letter received by
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Newman
from their son,
William, a cor-
poral.
Outside of
their daily ra-
tions of drinking
water, Corporal
Newman writes,
there is no wa-
ter to be had
anywhere near
their base. It's
just sand, sand, Cpl. Newman
and more sand. It gets in their
ears, eyes, nose and is often con-
sumed with their meals.
In the mornings it's cold. They
dress warmly. Around noon they
start shedding their garments
until they are stripped to their
waists. But toward evening as
the sun sets they have to start
putting their clothes on again.
In a letter received in the mid-
dle of last year from a non-Jew-
ish family somewhere in England,
the Newmans were told that
their son was a week-end guest.
The family of E. S. Bryan wrote:
"Do not worry as we will try
to make our home a home for
him."
In the service since Dec. 27,
1941, Corporal Newman is a
graduate of Central High. He

Dear God, watch over her for me
That she may safely guarded be;
Help her each lonely hour to bear
As I would, Lord, if I were there.
When she is sleeping, watch her then
That fears may not her dreams offend;
Be ever near her through the day,
Let none but goodness come her way.

JULIAN H. KROLEE, President
Parents Find Solace
In Sgt. Levin's Death
"My only son is lost, but he
will live in our memory forever.
He will live in the memory of
all America."
Thus, briefly, Mrs. Leah Levin,
of 1504 East 33rd St., Brooklyn,
N. Y., expressed the pride and
the sorrow of a mother to whom
word came that her son, Sgt.
Meyer Levin, had given his life
for his country.
SGT. MEYER LEVIN
Submit Servicemen's
Names to Jewish News
The Jewish News will publish
another impressive list of names
of Detroit Jews who are serving
in the armed forces of our coun-
try in forthcoming issues.
Readers are asked to submit
names of their relatives and
friends which have not yet ap-
peared in our columns for in-
sertion in these lists which will
form a permanent record of De-
troit Jewry's participation in the
war.
The father, Samuel Levin, had
a similar message for America:
"The cause for which our boy
died is freedom for all of us at
home. He played a brave role.
He fought for our freedom and
liberty at home. Not only Mike
was a hero, but every boy out
there doing his share is also a
hero."
The sentiments of Sergeant
Levin's parents echo the views
of all fighting Americans who are
determined that this war shall be
won by the democratic forces of
the world.
May Sgt. Meyer Levin's mem-
ory be a blessing for all genera-
tions to come.
