THE VALUE OF A GOOD RECORK JEWISH WELFARE BOARD IN THE ARMY. bybilarbinidiptniocnniiormmuniadis Alanine (Written for Jewish Welfare Hoard) The signing of the Armistice scems to have brought a great change in the Morale of some of the boys in uniform ax ix noticed by the increase in the Coa e as which is a crime in war times, . The curing up of rigidly has influenced some of the boys wearing the uniform to take advantage of many acts which is bound to count against them in later life. There ure two great principals which every person. should look forward to with great pride, numely: Self control and self respect, | The violation of any one of these two principles ix an unjust act. Few vealize that Absent without Leave from Post and duties is a clear violation of the two great principles. Analyzing cach principle in ite relation to "A. W. O. L." there is first Self Control which signifies whether the soldier has enough "backbone" as a slang expression to stick to his duties and wait until he is given an opportunity to leave his Post or whether his morale is so low that he cannot control his conscience. and must be guided by the evil spirit within him instead of using his better judgement. The matter of Self Respect is clearly shown while a man is under confinement. To have a guard stand with a gun and watch you like a criminal and still think that others will respect you in the future is a futile belief, It seeme that the person who would be willing to allow others to ree him |in arrest does not think much ‘of his. future, The result . will be in . mont cases, the loss of friends and future| responsibility. . \ Besides the . violation of the two great principles by which mankind in judged in their | relations. with each other there are other advantages the woldier-would gain by a clear record. It may be of interest to some to know that Uncle Sam has a method by which he keeps a record of his millions of employees and will be able in the

future to turn to those records and nee "whether the prison whn in necking a insponsible position cun be trusted wit it.. It is aufe to assume that the person who will be given the responsible position in the man who has Self Ren: pret and Self Control and to find out who has these principls will be merely to turn to the records of some of [Uncle Sam‘s former employees, . The man with a black spot against his record will not be the man for the position. |_ Not only Uncle Sam will be interested but also the employer to whom you are released from the Service. — He too is interested in your accomplish monts in the Army, whether there are any convictions ugainst your name, . It ; will not be the man that left his Post without permission that will get the [job or the man who took pride in be[ing watched with a gun either, but the Iman that showed Self Réspect and Self Control that will be given the op|portunity for be is reliable, dependable jand will*show the goods in & "Pinch," f Ierrrnverm--+. 7, rormmamed FORTY-TWO WORKERS IN belts a i Forty-two . welfare workers, men ‘abd women sent by the Jewish Welfure Board, are now in France, to carry out the special program of remobilization work undertaken by the Board.
