Religion: Neighbors

In New Brunswick, N.J. last week, Post 133 of the Jewish War Veterans volunteered to supply substitutes for Christians who would otherwise have to work on Christmas Day. First requests to come in were for twelve movie-theater ushers and three restaurant waitresses. “There are no conditions attached to the offer and we shall accept no compensation,” explained the post’s spokesman, Harold Berman. “Our sole reward will be the knowledge that we have been able, in a small way, to express our gratitude for the splendid relationship that exists between the Jewish members of our community and our Christian neighbors.”
