A Letter To
The Community
The Atlanta Army and Navy
Committee of the Jewish Welfare
Board sincerely appreciates your
cooperation in making it possible
for the soldiers from the sur
rounding camps namely, Fort Mc
Pherson, Lawson General Hospi
tal, Atlanta Motor Base, Conley
and Candler Field to be your
guests for Seders and Passover
dinners Wednesday and Thursday
nights, April 1 and 2.
We have received comments of
gratitude and thanks from many
soldiers who availed themselves
of this fine hospitality during
Passover. It was only through the
cooperative planning and genuine
interest of all parties concerned
that this Passover was made a
pleasant one for many of our boys.
We anticipated that there would
be a great deal of confusion in
spite of all of our efforts. Men
who were sure that they would
have passes had them cancelled at
the last moment. Others who were
told that they would not have
passes received them at the last

minute. Many men came in from
such nearby camps as Fort Ben-
ning. Fort McClellan and Camp
Wheeler. This made it impossible
in many instances for the men to
be on time at the home of the
family when the dinner started.
While the camp chaplains and of
ficers gave us fine cooperation, it
must be kept in mind that all
camps are on a war basic and this
consideration comes first. We
know that many families were in
convenienced and that family
schedules were disrupted. How
ever, we sincerely hope and know
that the situation was accepted in
view of the conditions under
J which soldiers are working.
We thank you for your kind
cooperation and trust that we may
call upon you again In the near
future.
With kindest personal regards,
