Barney Ross, Guadalcanal hero and former world's champion boxer, would like
to -spend his entire furlough with former buddies, but there is another job to be done
—boosting morale on the home front—he stated on a visit to Downtown USO Club
last weekend. Ross is a Sergeant in the Marines.

In the above picture he is shOwn with. men from the various American services
and a Canadian airman. In civilian clothes—left to right—are Jack Spencer, field di-
rector of the Army and Navy Committee of the Jewish Welfare Board, a USO divi-
sion; George F. Pierrot, Metropolitan Detroit USO Managing Director, and on the
extreme right, Saniuel Rubiner, chairman of the loc -al Army and Navy Committee of
the Jewish Welfare Board, who was host to Ross.

Barney Ross and Spencer grew up in the same neighborhood and went to
school together in Chicago, and it was a real reunion for both of them. The JWB man
claims that Ross was as great a guy to the kids in his own neighborhood as he was in
the ring or the Army; that through the years he has consistently exerted, himself to
find jobs or do some favor for the lads of his boyhood.
