Balfour Week, commemorating Road. Rabbi Moses Mecheloff I State of New York, who declared
the 26th anniversary of the issu-1 will speak on the "Effect of Pal-1 that "now, even more than after
" the last war, it is essential that
a way be found to open the doors
of Palestine."
Miss Dorothy Thompson, com-
mentator on international affairs,
asserted that the first step toward
disentanglement of the problems
of the Near East "must be a clear-
CU t division of the political
spheres of sovereignty of Jews
and Arabs," as clearly implied in
the Balfour Declaration.
Declaring that the gathering
was an occasion for "joyous re-
membrance and mournful reflec-
tion," Dr. Stephen S. Wise as-
serted that "had the British in-
stead of the Palestine government
co-operated with us, Palestine
today might in every sense be
Jewish, as President Wilson said
to me in 1918 he expected Pales-
tine again to become." He also
asserted that "if Jews of influ-
ence and power and circumstance
such as they who recently
withdrew from the American
Jewish Conference" had given
"their furtherance and their fa-
cilitation to the rebuilding of the
Jewish national home" there
"might have been a Jewish Pal-
estine today."
Dr. Goldstein, newly elected
president of the ZOA, criticized
"irresponsible" suggestions pro-
posing the transfer of Arabs from
Palestine to Iraq as unauthorized
by "any responsible Jewish body
here or abroad." He said they
"emanated" from the same irre-
sponsible elements which an-
nounced that Rumanian Jews
could be saved at $50 a head and
which recently brought hundreds
of rabbis to Washington on the
spurious assurance that the Presi-
dent would receive them.
Zionist District.
The program of activities in-
cludes late Friday evening serv-
ices dedicated by the Miami
Beach Jewish Community Cen-
ter to the district, with Rabbi
Lehrman preaching the sermon
on "Palestinea Glorious Ven-
ture." All members of the Beach
Zionist District will participate.
On Saturday, the services at
the Beth Jacob Synagogue will
carry a note of sorrow over the
plight of European Jewry, and in
ins sermon Rabbi Mescheloff will
discuss the congregation's obli-
gation and moral duty to further
the task of creating a national
Jewish homeland as a refuge and
as a guarantee against the
slaughter of innocents as wit-
nessed in the last decade.
These activities are in accord
with a message issued by the
Synagogue Council of America,
whose president. Dr. Israel Gold-
stein, said "We shall not forget

Palestine White Paper of 1939,
and a message by Wendell Will-

"prevent the closing of Palestine
either as a temporary haven or as
a permanent home," were the
highlights of a demonstration
held here at Carnegie Hall on
Monday evening, Nov. 1, the eve
of the 26th anniversary of the
Balfour Declaration.
The meeting marked the open-
ing of a nation-wide campaign
against the British White Paper
policy in Palestine and was at-
tended by more than 3,000 people
and an overflow crowd of more
than 15,000.

New York (JTA).Resolutions
expressing "full support" for the
American Jewish Conference and
appealing to the British people
and government to abandon the
White Paper policy were adopted
here this week at the closing ses-
sion of the 29th annual conven-
tion of the Hadassah, which elect-
ed Mrs. Moses P. Epstein presi-
dent of the organization for the
next term.
The resolution on the White-
Paper also urged the U. S. Gov-
ernment and the American pub-
lic "to add its voice" in support
of the Jewish demand. Another
resolution appeals to the "con-
science of the democratic peoples
and the governments of the
United Nations" to help bring
about the rescue of 29,000 Jewish
children in Europe for whom
certificates of entry into Palestine
have been promised by the Brit-
ish Government.
The convention adopted a
budget of $1,620,000 to be spent
during the next year for medicaL
post-war health, child welfare,
vocational education, youth, ref-
ugee and land reclamation proj-
ects. Tribute was paid by the
convention to King Christian X
of Denmark, and King Gustaf V
of Sweden for the heroism with
which their peoples have de-
fended Jewish citizens and refu-
gees in both countries against the
Nazis, by announcing the plant-
ing of two groves of trees in the
name of these monarchs in the
Holy Land.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise and Dr.
Abba Hillcl Silver of Cleveland,
co-chairmen of the American
Zionist Emergency Council, the
chief speakers at the concluding
session, concentrated upon a plea
for the abrogation of the White
Paper, which if implemented
would curtail Jewish immigra-

Old AFFAIRS OF
Rabbi S. M. Machtei, who has
lived in and served the Jewish
community of Greater Miami for
the last 13 years and intimately
familiar with the problems of the
Jewish community and of its citi-
zens, has accepted the invitation
of Mount Nebo to become its di-
rector and to administer its af-
fairs, it was announced this week
by cemetery officials.
In a statement issued at the
Mount Nebo office, 914 Olympia
Building, Rabbi Machtei said:
"Every man prides himself on be-
ing his family's champion. He
stands between them and all their
problems. He wouldn't cause
them an unnecessary moment of
anguish, the shedding of an extra
tea In fact, his life is devoted
and dedicated to sparing them
any and all anxiety, pain or an-

children who were suddenly
Faced With immediate need of B
burial plot for the head of the
house. I have noted their con-
fusion because the 'provider1 had
overlooked providing a future
home for the family, in advance
of need. When Mount Nebo in-
vited me to become its managing
director, I accepted in the hope
that I could be of service to my
neighbors, for I know from ex-
perience that the emotional strain
of the family in its darkest hour
can be eased by intelligent ad-
vance planning.
"Mount Nebo fills a definite
need in the community and ren-
ders a distinctive service, re-
specting the religious scruples of
all shades in Judaism and em-
phasizing the bonds of the fam-
ily group at all times."
The burial estates of Mounf
Nebo located at West Flagler
Street and 54th Avenue, located
ten minutes from the heart of
Miami, are beautifully landscaped
and accessible by bus.

'Twenty-six years ago in the midst of a world at war, the
government of the British Commonwealth of Nations, looking to
the day when peace would be restored and inspired with the
desire to right an ancient wrong, issued the Balfour Declaration.
This solemn covenant and undertaking to help in the reestab-
lishment of the Jewish National Home in Palestine was subse-
quently endorsed by 52 nations, including by unanimous reso-
lution the Congress of the United States.
They came to a land of past glory but present decay, whose
natural fertility had been destroyed by encroaching swamps
and desert sands; whose hills had been denuded of trees; and
whose cities had dwindled into mean and stagnant townships.
In the course of a pioneering achievement unequalled in pres-
ent-day colonization, they drained swamps and planted for-
ests. They irrigated the dry land, developed agriculture and
industry, and built cities.
In the years that followed, hundreds of thousands of Europe's
Jews found refuge and a home in Palestine."
It is altogether fitting as the observance of Balfour Week is
noted, that the Miami Zionist District initiated a constructive
move that will concretely aid the Zionist cause at a time when
it is needed most.
At a meeting to be held next week, a proposal to heads of
local houses of worship will be made similar to action of syn-
agogues in other parts of the country, to enroll the membership
of these institutions as a unit in the Zionist organization.
The Zionist cause faces its most difficult period in its years
of intensive effort in behalf of the National Homeland. The im-
portance and weight that the action of any group bears depends
upon its strength. In this instance numerical strength is all
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, this week, at Balfour Day Meeting in
New York, aptly said:
"This is a day of joyous remembrance and of mournful re-
flection; joyous remembrance of the issuance of a great instru-
ment, a charter which after the World War gave to the Jewish
people a new hope and a new opportunity; mournful reflection
because Balfour's England has not presided over the Palestine
government throughout the more than a quarter of a century
that has passed. Too often, and most especially at this mo-
ment, the Jewish rebuilders of Palestine have had not facilita-
tion nor furtherance from that Palestine government which may
have represented the Colonial office, but has utterly misrepre-
sented the spirit of Balfour's England and the English people.
Had the British instead of the Palestine government cooperated
with us, Palestine today might in every sense be Jewish, as
President Wilson said to me in 1918 he expected Palestine
again to come.
"But one thing more remains to be said. There might have
been a Jewish Palestine today, if Jews of influence and power
and circumstance had given their furtherance and their facilita-
tion to the rebuilding of the Jewish National Home. These have
failed us but the Jewish National Home is being created. It
will be, provided the Jews of the world over deeply care and
greatly help, provided the United Nations act in the spirit of the
Atlantic Charter."
With manpower shortage as prevalent and the innumerable
additional channels in which the civic, patriotic and spiritual
minded individual must lend his efforts, makes mandatory
planning to do the most with the least effort. All the religious
organizations are firm believers in Zionism and that for which
it stands. Co-operation to effect the enrollment of the member-
ship rosters of our local institutions must be given.
Jewish Religious Education
By RABBI SIMON APRIL
Spiritual Leader Congregation Schaarei Zedik
(Kditor's Note: This iM another in a
mHm of artlclea by the Hiiiritual
loaders of fJrater Miami.)
"The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom." Psalm
"The goal of wisdom is re-
pentance and good deeds."Tal-
mud Brachoth 17a.
Jewish religious education calls
for two things, earnest considera-
tion and concerted action. Israel's
kingdom is a kingdom of the
spirit; and Israel's history is not
a story of fire, whirlwind or
earthquake, but of the still, small
voice, the voice of conscience, the
voice of God. Religious educa-
tion alone can rear the spiritual
ramparts of that kingdom and
insure a continuity of the Jewish
spirit. "As long as the sound of
little children repeating the
Shema or Shemang is heard with-
in the walls of Jewish schools
and synagogue," say the Rabbis,
"all the Balaams and Hamans in
the world cannot prevail against
Israel." Where Jewish schools
are, alas deserted and Jewish
children are prevented from
learning the Shema. as the Ha-
mans have succeeded in doing
first in Germany, later in many
other countries, the outlook for
Israel is dark indeed. More than
to any other people or church,
religious education is a question
of life and death to the congre-
gation of Jacob.
In the past, the Jew had trans-
lated literally the words of the
Mishnah in Peoh, 1. "Talmud To-
rah K'neged Kulom" which
means that the study of the To-
rah is equal to them all; the study
of the Torah outweighs all the
ethical precepts enumerated in
that Mishnah, because the Torah
is itself the sum and concept of
all ethical law. The duty of re-
ligious education is emphasized
in the Shema ("and thou shalt
teach them diligently to thy
children") and it is thereby
placed on the same level as the
proclamation of the Unity of God
and the command, "Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all
they soul and with all thy might."
Today more than ever before
religious education has become of
paramount. Never before has the
school been of such vital impor-
tance; the school of today will
decide the future of our race.
Within a few years our youth
will be men and women If, in
their case, the battle for Judaism
is lost during their school life,
what hope have we to keep them
within the ranks of Israel, loyal
and true in the days to come?
The religious factor in educa-
tion is the strongest of all mo-
tives that make for moral
strength, self control and char-
acter. The weal or woe of our
children thus depends upon the
religious equipment with which
they start on the journey of life.
It is, therefore, the duty of every
Jewish father and mother to
understand at least the founda-
tion of Jewish religious educa-
tion as well as the aim toward
which wo are to train our chil-
dren in the way they should go.
One brief verse of the Psalmist,
restated in various forms by the
Biblical sages, wonderfully ex-
presses the foundation of Jewish
education: "Reishes chochmoh
yiras od hosheim""the fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wis-
dom." Judaism maintains that
the wisdom of man is a sheer and
utter vanity, unless it is con-
ditioned by "the fear of the
Lord," unless it is accompanied
by reverent submission to the
will in the service of higher
The Jewish child was. and

look upon life as a discipline de-
manding unconditional obedience
to Divine commandments. Thou
salt, and thou shalt not. involv-
ing a constant sacrifice of selfish
inclinations for the sake of prin-
In such discipline lies the road
of educational salvation out of
the moral chaos in our own age.
Only by inculcating in the souls
of our young loyal obedience to
Divine laws that are absolute and
unchangeable can we hope to
stem the waters of animalism and
heathenism that today threaten
the higher life of man.
Listen to the words of two out-
stand men. One of the great
statesmen of our age says. "Our
youth of today, perhaps more
than ever on account of the mis-
ery that we have been reaping
now for the sowing of a few years
ago, requires a discipline which
is more severe, more drastic,
more hardening in spiritual
things, than has been called for
by any generation in the last
The other, an illustrious Jew-
ish scientist, Professor Haffkine.
says, "Jewish youths are often
under the impression that re-
straint is tyrannical and illiberal.
The stores of observation and
thought accumulated by far-
sighted elders which arc essential
for guarding the destinies of a
nation are not perceivable to the
young, because they lack the ex-
perience and above all the neces-
sary knowledge."
These two opinions are best il-
lustrated by our prophet Jere-
miah in the words "tov lagever
ki yiso ol binoorov""it is good
for a man that he bear the yoke
in his youth." It is a vindication
of the basic principle of Jewish
education: "The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom."
If the fear of the Lord is the
foundation of Jewish religious
education, what is its purpose
goal and aim? The goal in the
training of our youth is not the
acquisition of skill, power or
wealth. These things may be
good in their place, but they arc
not the primary ends either of
education or of life. The primary
aim fit Jewish education is the
consecration of the Jewish child
to Judaism, and his preparation
for a life of beneficence for Israel
and humanity.
Jewish education must not end
with the Bar Mitzvah ceremony

-By PHINEAS J. BIRON-
Before the year is over a distinguished industrialist wh
fancies himself as a diplomat, and who received a specU
award for his great friendship toward the Jews will be e
posed as having co-operated with the Fascist anti-Semites *i
an Axis country What's this about a new "America
nationalist" party being in the offing, with its sponsors in
eluding anti-Semite Gerald L. K. Smith and Captain Eddi
Rickenbacker? We're told that an official publication 5
the Polish Government in exile reprinted the Nazi report o
the Warsaw ghetto battle without giving "credit" to the
source ... In this "report" the Jewish defenders of Warsaw
are called dangerous Communists We are investigating
further. '
The Zionist Emergency Committee, now clicking on all
cylinders under the leadership of Dr. Abba H. Silver, will
issue its own publication, to be called "Palestine" \\ u
intended for both Jewish and non-Jewish readers ... All the
publicity distortions notwithstanding, the decision of the
interim sessions of the American Jewish Conference, con-
cluded last week, amounts to this: The Conference has been
put on ice and will function through its several constituent
organizations until the next session What happened to
that slogan of "Unity"? Believe it or not, the only ad in
the 24-page October issue of The Answer, organ of the Com-
mittee for a Jewish Army, is an announcement by a New
York funeral parlor There's an Army camp in Iceland
that has at its entrance a huge "Welcome" sign in sixteen
language German isn't one of them, but the greeting
"Shalom" appears on the sign in Hebrew letters.
Now that Pierre van Paassen's new. book, "The Forgotten
Ally," is sweeping the country, we may tell you that before
its publication efforts were made to suppress it ... It is a
matter of record that it was the late Hebrew literary critic,
Reuben Brainin, who discovered and sponsored Saul Tcher-
nichovsky, the Hebrew poet who recently passed away ..
Yet the local Hebrew press ignored this biographical fact...
The Hebraists who have delved in Jewish politics cannot
forget that Reuben Brainin, during the last years of his life,
administered some public spankings to them for their reac-
tionaryism Probably they would have tempered their
eulogies of Tchernichovsky if they had known that the He-
brew poet left instructions for the posthumous return to the
Finnish government of the decoration it had bestowed upon
him Brainin and Tchernichovsky saw eye to eye on inter-
national affairs Strange, but true: The Norwegian Nobel
Prize winner, Sigrid Undset, now living in this country, wrote
a splendid article on anti-Semitism after the war ... Yet in
her conclusion, when she appeals for support to destroy
anti-Semitism, she carefully avoids mentioning Russia .
Could it be true that Mme. Undset is, as we have heard said,
violently anti-Soviet?
Hitler will be interested to know that an Austrian Jew
whom he drove out of his home is now getting in guite a few
licks against Naziland The refugee is Dr. Paul Schwarz-
kopf of Yonkers, whose metallurgical discoveries have
proved extremely valuable to America's war industry
Among the American war correspondents who have been
killed in the line of duty since Pearl Harbor and whose mem-
ory will be honored by the naming of Liberty ships after
them are Melville Jacoby of Time and Life and Jack Singer
of the International News Service It's Pvt. Abe Fortas of
the U. S. Army now ... In case you don't remember, Fortas
was, until his induction. Undersecretary of the Interior
Max Band, famous French Jewish painter now residing in
California, will have an exhibition in New York in February,
1944 ... It will feature his new masterpiece, "O Lord, How
Long," a powerful indictment of the war as unleashed by the
Nazis Who do you suppose is the new teacher of the art
of clarinet playing at the classical Juillard Institute of Musical
Art? Why, none other than that king of swing
Benny Goodman Bandleader Abe Lyman's baggage for
his trip to Africa, where he'll entertain the boys, consists
chiefly of cigarsenough for the four months he expects to
be away (unless his audiences manage to schnorr away
some of his private stock) ... As for Danny Kayewho, as
we told you, is back on Broadway for a brief stayhe's look-
ing forward to a salary cut of 99.9 per cent It's like this:
Right now he's getting 512,500 a week (if his press agent's

The reconstruction program included the work
i two units of social service experts who studied
st-war conditions in London, Paris and other large
rrnDean cities and visited internment and refu-
s' camps. Between 1920 and 1923 more than
fiSOOO individuals were given aid at the great port
lies and helped to become naturalized American
The Council endorsed the entrance of the United
i States into the International Labor Organization
d the League of Nations and consistently sup-
' oorted social aspects of the league. At mat time,
Councils had been formed in Australia, Greece and
Turkey, and the Council was active in England,
Holland, France, Italy and other European countries.
With' the deepening of the depression, social and
welfare services were greatly increased. The
Council's program included creation of employ-
ment, financial relief, emergency training courses,
special free classes for the unemployed, participa-
tion in stay-in-school campaign and in the feeding
of undernourished children.
The Council joined the National Peace Confer-
ence and gave its support to trade agreements to
ease economic tension and favored the embargo on
war materials to aggressors. The Council petitioned
President Roosevelt to take a firm stand on the Jap-
anese question, to impose sanctions on Italy, and
to aid the Spanish Loyalists.
During the early days of Hitler's regime, the
Council's Port and Dock workers helped about 2,000
refugees annually through their first difficult hours
in a strange land. This number increased to 16,225
by 1939.
When American was again involved in world
war the Council's president, Mrs. Maurice L. Gold-
man issued an appeal to American Jewish women
to carry on the CouncU's fivefold program while
bending aU energies to win the war. The social
weUaie program was expanded to include war
activities. The Council is now represented on the
advisory committee of the Office of Civilian De-
fense, the Treasury, the Office of Price Administra-
tion, the Women's Interests Section of the War De-
partment and other governmental agencies.
The fight still goes on for legislation for social
security, better housing, health, wage and hour
legislation, and against lynching, the poll tax, and
any infringement of civil liberties. The Council is
among the leaders of a campaign for American
participation in a post-war world order that will set-
tle international problems without recourse to war.
Through the aid of Port and Dock workers, many
refugees and stateless families have been able to
find relatives or friends in this country. During the
year ending July, 1942, between ten and eleven
thousand Jewish immigrants were admitted to me
United States. -.
More and more emphasis is being placed on the
naturalization and Americanization oi aliens al-
ready in the United States. The Council has re-
sponded to the request of the government m ex-
tending its naturalization service to many com-
munities never reached before.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of ^e serv-
ice to the foreign-born is the gigantic master file at
the Council's headquarters. This file contains in-
formation from the 48 states and from all corners
of the earth relating to families disrupted by war
and Nazi persecution. This file was begun years
ago when the Council undertook the task of locating
relatives of Jewish families scattered from their na-
tive villages in pogroms and other pennons.
With sections in eVery part of the United States, the
Council is able to gather information from even
remote villages. Unquestionably, this master me
will be of inestimable value in the post-war perioa.

The week was full of surprises. The two that
stand out, of course, were the announcement by the
American Jewish Committee withdrawing from the
American Jewish Conference and the sudden resig-
nation of David Ben-Gurion from the Jewish Agency.
Mr. Ben-Gurion's resignation, tendered at a
session of the Zionist Actions Committee, was re-
jected and it is probable that Mr. Ben-Gurion will
continue in office.
Palestine newspapers, speaking of the resigna-
tion, say that an internal crisis within the Jewish
Agency has been brewing for some months. It all
began, it seems, following Ben-Gurion's return from
the United States. The Executive while refusing to
accept Ben-Gurion's resignation have decided, says
the report, to ask Dr. Weizmann, president of the
Agency, to proceed from London to Palestine "as
soon as possible." This would seem to link Dr.
Weizmann in some manner with the trouble.
The withdrawal of the American Jewish Commit-
tee from the American Jewish Conference brings to
an end the hope of that unanimity in American
Jewry which ensued following the conclusions of the
American Jewish Conference last August. At the
end of the last war, the various factions of Ameri-
can Jewry were able to make a united front, which
seemingly is impossible of achievement now.
The action of the committee in seceding from
the American Jewish Conference was quickly fol-
lowed by groups which opposed this action, seced-
ing in turn from the American Jewish Committee.
Hadassah, which met in national convention this
week, adopted a resolution withdrawing from the
American Jewish Committee membership. The
Rabbinical Assembly of America also adopted a
resolution severing its affiliation with the American
Jewish Committee. The resolutions of the American
Jewish Conference were also approved during the
week by the executive committee of the Central
Conference of American Rabbis at a meeting m
Cincinnati. ,,
So the issue is sharply drawn and we shall see
what we shall see.
Hadassah at its convention urged the inclusion
of Jewish representatives in any United Nations
conferences called to deal with Jewish matters and
the immediate shipment of food to feed the starving
survivors of the ghettos. Pierre van Paassen, who
has just written a new book dealing with Palestine,
addressed the Hadassah convention. He charged
that "British Imperialism" had never in the course
of Britain's mandatory regime sought for AraO-
Jewish reconciliation, but has systematically sabo-
taged every effort in that direction.
9 Argentina seems determined to offend al decent
sensibilities. This week it was announced that the
aovernor of Entre Rios province has issued an order
banning all Jewish welfare and mutual aid groups

The Jewish Front: The withdrawal of the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee from the American Jewish
Conference may be just the first step in the direction
of independent action by the Committee on Jewish
matters concerning which no unity can be achieved
. The storm raised by the withdrawal will not
subside for a long time This at least is what
Zionist leaders believe Zionist groups are de-
termined to extend the fight against the American
Jewish Committee throughout the country They
are urging provincial Jewish leaders to make the
withdrawal of the American Jewish Committee an
issue in each of the local Jewish communities .
The situation may become even more aggravated
should the Jewish Labor Committee follow the ex-
ample of the American Jewish Committee and also
withdraw from the American Jewish Conference__
Such a possibility is not excluded, since the Jewish
Labor Committee has for the time being refused to
be represented on the executive body of the Interim
Committee of the American Jewish Conference...
Though not opposing Palestine, the Jewish Labor
Committee is chiefly interested in the situation of
the Jews in Nazi-held Europe and in what must be
done immediately to alleviate their situation .
This, Jewish labor leaders say, was not dealt with
sufficiently by the American Jewish Conference ...
The final decision of the Jewish Labor Committee
is to be expected within the next week or so .
The eyes of everyone interested in these develop-
mnts are, naturally, directed toward the B'nai B'rith
. Meanwhile, the fight between the American
Jewish Committee and the American Jewish Con-
ference is attracting unprecedented attention in non-
Jewish circles One can say that the full-page
advertisements in the metropolitan press by certain
Jewish organizations have not attracted as much
attention among non-Jews as the publicity given to
the present internal Jewish strife.
Mission to Palestine: The Hadassah convention
which just concluded in New York discussed many
subjects relating to its work in Palestine One
subject, however, was not revealed to the delegates
. We mean the resignation of Dr. J. L. Magnes
from his post as a sort of a high commissioner of
the American Hadassah in Palestine Few per-
sons in the United States know that Mr. Magnes is
the head of a committee in Palestine authorized to
supervise the distribution of Hadassah funds there
. Even fewer know that some leaders of the Ha-
dassah in America have indicated to Dr. Magnes
that his political views cannot be considered as
going hand in hand with Hadassah interests .
The result was a letter from Dr. Magnes to the
Hadassah offering his resignation This letter,
however, was not brought before the Hadassah
convention for decision, though the Hadassah
Board discussed it Can it be that the proposed
trip to Palestine of Mrs. de Sola Pool has something
to do with Dr. Magne's offer to resign? We
understand that travel priorities for Mrs. de Sola
Pool were sought even before the national board of
Hadassah decided to send her to Palestine .
Speaking of Mrs. de Sola Pool, we want to empha-
size that many Hadassah delegates regret the fact
that she is no longer the president of the organiza-
tion ... It is acknowledged by all Zionists that she
has done a very good job during her term of office.
Ladder of Progress: No Jewish reader interested
in the early progress of Jewish culture and civiliza-
tion can afford not to read the book "The Ladder
of Progress in Palestine" just published by Harpers
. The author of this highly fascinating volume
is Chester C. McCown, former director of the Ameri-
can School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem, a
leading authority on archaeology In an account
of Palestinian archaeology, written chiefly for the
lay reader, he gives a vivid picture of the develop-
ment of Jewish culture both in the pre-Christian
and Christian eras Though the subject treated
in this book is scientific, each chapter makes easy
and captivating reading ... The volume leaves no
doubt as to the great role which the Jews played
several thousand years ago in the progress of the
world and substantiates many episodes of the niSie
by scientific fdcts ... At the same time the author
claims that certain facts in Jewish history, as de-
scribed in the Bible, are not correct Th lj as-
serts, for instance, that the fall of the walls of Jericho
was due to nothing else but an earthguake ... He
believes that archaeology does not discredit the
Bible as a record of religious faith, but that it does
orove that not all historical statements in the Bible
are literally true ... To him archaeological research
and historical study together make the Bible mtel-
liaible and correct false notions about it. Archae-
oloav is the handmaiden of history and interpreta-
tion, the author says Whatever his views as a
vJmisli fhridOan
left his place at the presidium
table, the meeting was tempo-
rarily adjourned while the execu-
tive committee of the Jewish
Agency held a special meeting to
consider the resignation. After

in their desperation, the recoiling

director in the Abilene. Tex.,
area, claims that the strangest
yf*. was a recent demanrd made
of him to furnish soldiers' fami-
lies with live skunks.
Seems a certain Pfc. J. R. Bin-
nion called at the Fifth Street
USO Club in Abilene and asked
if the JWB would be good enough
to forward a few skunks to sev-
eral soldiers' families. Binnion's
unit had collected the skunks, as
well as several raccoons and
armadillos, while on bivouac.
Somehow the folks back home
had got wind of the striped little
stinkers, and were demanding
them as pets.
One time on bivouac Binnion
and his men spied a mountain
lion at a watering place but, says
Mr. Kulick, some instinct re-
strained them from taking that
one home as a pet.
"The skunks, unfortunately,
have not been de-scented." Mr.
Kulick points out, "and they will
be shipped to the families who
requested them in their full
primeval glory.

of his "initiative and sound judg-

Serving as an assistant driver in
a battalion pioneer section, Cpl.
Budman is lauded for his will-
ingness to engage in "any kind
of work at any time, contributir/
materially to the successful op-
eration of his unit."
The citation accompanying the
award to Budman relates how
Budman, after his battalion had
moved across the Matanikau
River and proceeded over diffi-
cult terrain in tropical heat to a
designated point, voluntarily ac-
companied a detail seeking much-
needed water. Returning from
the water hole, the party was
ambushed and several men shot
down. Despite the sudden ter-
ror and confusion, Cpl. Budman
"retained his presence of mind
and was instrumental in leading
the remainder of the group to
safety." His suggestion that an
automatic rifle be carried by one
member of all small detachments
was adopted for all operations on
Guadalcanal. "His untiring ef-
ficiency and his coolness in m\
ments of stress were of valuable
assistance to his unit."

Dear Nat:
To say I am thrilled at receiv-
ing the wonderful New Year's
letter from you plus the endorse-

my friends, is placing it mildly.
Doris and Roxane join me in

Lt. Murray J. Shubin. 26, of
Pittsburgh, Pa., has been award-
ed the Distinguished Service
Cross "for extraordinary heroism
as a fighter pilot at Guadal-
canal." Leader of a flight of
four P-38's, Shubin and his for-
mation intercepted a group of
about 50 Jap planes and moved
in to the attack. Drawing off the
enemy rear cover, some 15 Zeros,
Lt. Shubin shot down two and
then found himself alone as the
other three American planes
were forced by lack of ammuni-
tion and damage to retire.
For three-quarters of an hour
Lt. Shubin fought five Zeros and
"with brilliant maneuvering and
frugal use of ammunition" pro-
ceeded to demolish them one by
one. With a single burst he shat-
tered one Zero and then from a
steep spiral dive scored a full de-
flection shot on another, destroy-
ing it.
An aeronautical engineer be-
fore he joined the Air Corps two
years ago, Shubin is a Phi Beta
Kappa alumnus of Kenyon Col-
lege (Ohio) and is affiliated with

ficer serving in the South Pacific,
has been killed in action. A let-
ter he wrote to his parents as a
"last testament" received na-
tional prominence in the press re-
cently. "My primary thoughts
out here are of life," he wrote.
"I am deeply conscious of what
I am fighting for and would not
sit at home if I could. What I
fight for is not an abstraction to
me. (It is) man's intense desire
to protect those he holds dearest
. the fact that I may die while
I am protecting you does not ap-
pall me in the least."
Assistant Engineer Ira Simon
Mason. 42, of Newport, R. I., pre-
viously listed as missing and for
a time reported dead, is a pris-
oner of the Japanese, although
his vessel was torpedoed by the

was an employe of the Texas Oil
Co. and had been serving as as-
sistant engineer on an oil tanker.
Gee, it's swell to see the lights
turned on again in the downtown
area! It has been ages since the
city looked so bright. Let's hope
and pray that the lights will be
turned on again "all over the
world" real soon. By the way,
speaking of lights-brings to mind
that it would be fun to have some
night baseball games at the "Y"
now that the dim-out restrictions
have been lifted. How's about it?
Youth Rally
Those of you who didn't spend
some time at the "Y" last Sunday
really missed a treat. The "Y"
and the Youth Council put on an
all-day youth rally which was
tremendously successful. Approx-
imately one hundred young pen-
pie participated in this affair
There were Boy Scouts. B'nai
B'rith girls. A. Z. A. boys. Tn
Betas and Independents among
the participants. Mr. Raymond
Reese, boys' secretary oi the
Y. M. C. A., was the guesl
speaker at the luncheon. His
subject was "Teen Troubles" and
he spoke so enthusiastically that
he kept the audience spellbound
Mr. Reese stressed the necessity
of a normal life for teen-agers,
and expressed the belief that
much racial hatred and bigotry
was the result of abnormal con-
dition.-such as war time, de-
pressions, and the like. In the
afternoon. George Chertkof,
chairman of the Y board of
directors acted as moderator in
a forui i on juvenile delinquency
and the curfew. This was per-
haps the first time such problems
have been presented to the young
people of this community for dis-
cussion and. believe you me. it
was a wise move because some
of the youngsters offend some
practical and rational solutions
to our local juvenile situation
In addition to the cultural aspects
of the program, social and ath-
letic events were held. Three
A. Z. A. teams and one Inde-
pendent outfit participated in a
basketball tournament, with Mi-
ami Chapter No. 322 defeating
Royal Palm Chapter. Miami
Beach. 33 to 22. in the finals.
Murry Spill of Royal Palm Chap-
ter won the handball tournament,
while Band of Miami No. 322 won
boys' ping pong, and Band and
H. Berkowitz of Miami No. 322
won horseshoes. Then were also
girls' volley ball and t
contests. Thanks of the Y are
extended to Lester Lasky, George
Chertkof. Alex Cohen. Sirs Alex

Welcome to New "Y" Columni
Sam Sliver has taken over Z
column devoted to the Mianu
"Y"and wish him "glib tilt-
ing. And from his first column
we note that his predecessor
Harry Schwartz, kept the column
going for six years. We haven't
the pleasure oi knowing Mr"
Schwartz, but having put uj j
trick of holding up a column for
a fraction of his six years we
have a vague idea of wnat it en-
tailed. And if the average indi-
vidual doesn't stop to think of
what it means to pass a dead-
line week and week out, when
news is plentiful, and things are
as dead as doornails and words
must be ground out with as mucn
effort as would be required to
dig a ditch, we do.
Some how, there is always
some one to pick up where we
leave offwith a bagful of good
ideas and intentions. Once in a
while we get a pat on the back
and buckle down to the type-
writer with renewed vigor and
enthusiasm. More often than not
we grind out the weekly stint
without knowing whether the ef-
fort is worth the candle, or
whether any one reads the col-
So here we have a word of
commendation for Mr. Schwartz,
from a fellow-drudge, and a word
of cheer to Sam Silvermay his
news never run dry, and his pen
never falter.

There are 1 item(s) tagged with the keyword "lighting".
Where do you want to add landscape lighting? Perhaps to your patio, driveway or pool deck. Wherever it may be paver lighting adds ambience to any design. Whether it's a sidewalk, driveway, patio, garden and retaining wall system, courtyard, pool deck, road way or even a commercial site like a bike path or parking lot, adding paver lighting adds beauty, functionality and most importantly safety. Incorporating a lighting system into a new paver project is a great way to add a dynamic effect while increasing the level of safety by clearly defining the area for pedestrians or vehicles. In addition to ambience and safety it will also increase the value to a residential or commercial property. All things to strongly consider when planning your next landscape project.
