Approximately nine percent of the local Jewish population is now in the armed forces, according to a preliminary survey by the Jacksonville Jewish Community Council. This percentage coincides with the overall statistics just released by the National Jewish Welfare Board Bureau for War Records, in which the general average for the American Jewish Community is given as nine percent.
