Rabbi Ferdinand M. Isserman of Temple Israel presents "The Eternal Light," Jewish symbol of the perpetual existence of God, in a candlelight service last night at one of Jefferson Barracks' chapels. The gift of Temple Israel's Junior Congregation, the light (seen in the top center of the altar) was accepted for the post by Chaplain First Lieutenant John L. Harris.
Toughening up for action in an obstacle race are these Jefferson Barracks soldiers. The 4-foot rail fence was only one of the obstacles that marked the quarter-mile course over which the trainees yesterday were sent in groups of six, armed and helmeted and ready for the enemy.
Mrs. Alfred Chance of Akron, Ohio, visited her son, Clarence, 25, at Jefferson Barracks yesterday on Mother's Day and shortly after her arrival found herself playing mother to nearly 25 service men. In the above picture Mrs. Chance plays piano for soldiers in the Hostess House. Her son stands behind her.
Around the pool table were Capt. C. R. Withrow, Capt. W. R. Beaty, Mrs. Withrow and Mrs. Beaty. Swimming and dancing were other features of the Open House entertainment.
