Mt. Sinai Group
Holds Games Night

DR. ELI N. BERNSTEIN

three and a half years of study
and was accepted by the Uni-
versity of Chicago, where he re-
ceived his doctor's degree. He
was in the upper third of his
class and completed his course
three months ahead of schedule.
Interned at Harper
Lt. Bernstein received appoint-
ments for internship in the Ce-
dars of Lebanon Hospital of Los
Angeles, in the Cincinnati Mount
Sinai Jewish Hospital and in
Harper Hospital; Detroit, where
he interned for 15 months.
He was resident physician at
St. Joseph's Hospital in Flint
for more than two years before
he joined the Army in Septem-
ber, 1942.
Writes on "Duty or Heroism"
Lt. Bernstein wrote an inter-
esting article in a recent issue of
the publication issued by the
Hammond hospital. Writing on
"Duty or Heroism?," Lt. Bern-
stein quotes a colleague at home
as having made the mocking
statement: "You're a sucker to
join up now: I'm going 'to stay
out of this one way or another
as long as I possibly can."
Analyzing the motives of such
a person, Lt. Bernstein points out
that it may have arisen from an
urge for self-preservation, or
from selfish motives, or from
weakness, and concludes:
"I ask no man to follow me in
action because I have responded
to the dictates of my heart and
conscience, and while I am not,
and may never be a hero—neith-
er ani I a heel."

Pisgah Bowlers
Stage Banquet

about "Boys' and Girls' Camp
Week," May 9 to May 16. The
value of camping for children in
war time is called to the atten-
tion of parents and they are en-
couraged to send their children
to camp during school vacation.
Camp director's feel the added
responsibilities and challenges
during this war period, and they
fully realize that camping this
summer present& the strongest
challenge ever put before camp
directors.
That camp leaders always ac-
cepted added responsibilities and
challenges is attested by the
steady growth of children's camps
to such an extent that almost
5,000,000 children go to camp each
summer.
330 Michigan Camps
The 330 Michigan camps for
children have an enrollment of
more than 100,000 boys and girls.
This year, under the leadership
of the Michigan Camping Asso-
ciation, the camps will expand
their facilities and wherever pos-
sible will extend their 'periods
to take in many more campers.
The camp directors, with the
able assistance of their qualified
and experienced staffs, are de-
termined to justify the faith put
in the institution of camping by
educators and parents alike.
A Way of Life
"Camp life is an American tra-
dition," said President Roosevelt
in his statement on children's
camps. To quote the president:
"It is a way of life. A genera-
tion trained in the art of camping
will receive experience, which I
believe, ' will give exceptional
equipment with which to cope
with some of the most difficult
problems of life in the years that
lie ahead."
