sented with a Sefer Torah on the

CLASSIFIED
By Danny Raskin
Great people are born—not made—for
friends, the same holds true,
And real friendship, hard to find, will
always stick like glue.
Friends are never many, though
acquaintances may be great,
But just a few will always do—a few—
that's surely worth a wait.
While years may bring a memory and
thoughts of those appealing,
The future years will always hold that
glow of friendly feeling.
They may come now, or maybe later,
but one can always gee
That here's a friend with heart so true
—born, not made to be.
—D. B.

AFTER BEING selected to at-
tend the recent conference in
Denver of civilian personnel of-
ficers in the Western Flying and
Technical Training Command,
WAC Lt. Helen Goodman was al-
most confronted with somewhat
of a problem ... Because it was a
bit unusual for a girl , to be pick-
ed, plans had been made for an
all-male attendance and hotel re-
servations were for three dele-
gates per room ... luckily, Helen
discovered this on time to pre-
vent an. embarrassing situation.

THE CROWD of 320 at the
Jewish Center's Fifth Holiday
Hop was another record . •
Date of • number six, a Purim
Dance, has been set for March 12,
with Gene Fenby to supply the
rhythms . . . Pvt. Irving Gold-
berg is one of 40 men in charge
of the Army prison camp at Wet-
more, Mich. . . After m.c.'ing
the Julius Rosenwald Post of the
American Legion Bond Show,
last week, our impressions • of
that great post grew larger . .
Returning Jewish servicemen
can well be proud to become
members of so conscientious and
highly-respected an organization
. . „ Those few boys back from
service who are already planning
to ; organize a new post should
think twice — then forget all
about it, unless advised to do so.
THIS ONE comes about the co-
lored soldier, veteran of many
brawls, along the levees in Mis-
ssissippi, who always sharpened
his pet razor before going into
the front trenches, just in case.
Opening it cautiously. ashe Made
his way through the' enemy lines,
he crept along in the darkness
until; without warning, he found
himself face-to-face with - a fero-
cious - looking German, who
grabbed the rifle from his right
hand. 'The razor-bearer slashed
just once as the enemy: attempted
to grapple with him. "Hard luck
colored boy," the German said in
excellent English. "You never
touched me." "You jus' think I
didn't :touch you," said the sol-
dier; grinning widely. "BO. jus'
wait 'till Yon tries to waggle yo'
head!"
