Commends Welfare Board
Capt. Wiener. speaks in- glow-
. ing terms of the.. services that
were rendered the Jewish men
•in the service by: the Christian
chaplains, who assisted them in
arranging religious Services be-
• cause there were too fe ,A, men
to have a Jewish chaplain.
In most instances, Dr. Weiner,
who is a graduate of the United
Hebrew Schools, conducted. the
services among the Jewish men.
- "The Jewish Welfare Board
Bible has been of greatest help
to us," Capt. Wiener stated. "It
became our source of inspiration
and our main spiritual . guide.
Our men read and study the
Bible. They need more such
literature. Every man in the
service should have a copy of
Chief Rabbi Hertz' Book of
Jewish Thoughts.'."
Praise for the Red Cross ..
Dr. Wiener spoke with en-
thusiasm of the spirit .among the
men in the service and among
the Jewish servicemen. The lat-
ter, he said, are deeply con-
cerned over the status of their
kinsmen throughout - the world.
"Where there is a lack of in-
terest, it is due ... to a lack of
knowledge," he said,
id, "and the
work of the Jewish Welfare
Board contributes towards filling
the gap that existed heretofore
in creating the desired interest."
"Throughout the combat lines,
the Red Cross is doing a won-
derful job supplying the men
with magazines and recreation
equipment • and the means of
sending urgent messages home
when the need arises," Capt.
Weiner
"Write Your Servicemen"
"The greatest need among
servicemen is mail," he empha-
sized. "I urge as strongly as I
can that relatives and friends
should- write to - the men in the
service as often and as promptly
as possible. It is the greatest
source of joy and inspiration,
and the strongest weapon for
the upkeep of the morale of our
men is frequent word_ from home
and from -friends."
Capt. Wiener stated . that The
Jewish News. is always eagerly
-looked forward to by servicemen
who• receive . it.. wherever they
may :be, The Jewish News' 1:4:s

I am grateful for What you - are
