Friday, March 30, 1945 THE C 'Americas All' Oscar Leonard's Fine Book Abont U. S. Jewish Heroes There are many histories of the Jews in America, written for young as well as adult readers.

Mr. Leonard is a pioneer social worker and is known as. a "cam- paigner". At present he is associ- ated with the Jewish National Fund.

It is noteworthy for its selection of historical material about the Jews in America, for its sim- plicity, for its weaving of facts into the type of literature that reads like a fairy tale and yet is so definitely true to historical happenings.

Frenkel Page Forty-Five Jewish Youth's LISTENING O T — By Danny Raskin For a moment there is no battle— The bombs have ceased to fall. The war's at an end as thoughts home- ward wend. Today there is mail-call. Whatever t h e scene — muddy o r bloody— There's joy reigning high for some guy. His name has been called. His thoughts have been walled. For a moment his spirits are high. The letter is from a friend— - Just someone who thought of writ- ing. Someone who remembered that Out there, a boy is fighting! But what of the fellow who didn't get any mail? The one whose name wasn't read? He'll be lonely that day while others are gay And wish to hell he was dead! Shame does befall on those who "forgot" Or those who "can't find the time." For what they're not doing—small as it seems, Is truly a horrible crime! "Sorry, buddy, nothing for you, today." They dread to hear that said And hard as they are—tough as they look— Many a tear they have shed. Just a small letter can make them feel better. What wonders a few words can do To stop the war and bring home a boy, If but for a moment or two. * • * JOTTINGS . . Capt.
