First Jewish Chaplain
Arrives at Camp Adair
Queen and Court Here
The first Jewish Chaplain in his
tory to lie assigned to West Point
arrived last week at Camp Adair
to assume his newest post as chap
lain.
Chaplain Abraham Chill, 1st Lt.,
back in 1936 was sent to the acad
emy to minister the Jewish faith to
those cadets who belonged to his
religion and in doing so chalked
up a milestone in military history.
Chaplain Chill, the proud posses
sor of an LLB degree from Ye-
shiva College, N. Y., was ordained
in Palestine in 1934 and after a
period of two years’ study he came
back to this country and entered
pulpits in Newburgh, N. Y., New
Brunswick, N. J., and Nashville,
Tenn. It was during his sojourn
in Nashville that the chaplain con
ducted a weekly religious pro
gram via radio. National Broad
casting Company thought so well of
the program that it secured the
broadcast for its chain.
Chaplain Chili, while in college,
participated in nearly all forms of
athletics and is particularly pro
ficient at baseball, basketball and
expects to make good use of the
Camp Adair handball courts.
The chaplain chalked up another
"first" upon his arrival here on the
Post as he is also the first Jewish
chaplain to be assigned here since
the camp’s activation.
Chaplain Chill was born in New
York, thirty-one years ago and is
the father of two children. Hr has
been assigned to Post Chapel No. 1
and will meet with members of his
faith at any time.
Striking, brunette Ada Leonard, who will bring her All-
American Girls' Band and All-Giri revue to Camp Adair on Febru
ary 4-5, as Unit 64 on the Bed circuit of I SO-Camp Shows. It's a

officers and men of this Post and their guesla—at Field House.
