Rabbi Schechter Congratulates
Rabbi Rosinger
Dear Editor:
Allow me to extend through your paper a most
cordial greeting to my friend and colleague, Rabbi
Samuel'Rosinger, upon the twentieth anniversary of
his ministry in Beaumont, Texas.
His earnestness and sincerity have endeared him
not only to the members of his community, but also
to his colleagues. Especially am I grateful to him
for his assistance in the establishing of the Kallah,
of which organization he is now the president.
It is my sincerest wish that the members of the
congregation of-TempIe Emanuel may enjoy many
years of Rabbi Rosinger’s service.
May peace, contentment and progress ever abide
with him, his dear ones, and his congregation.

$50,000 Pledged For
Current Hias Deficit
New York. (JTA)—Following a
six-hour conference Sunday at the
Mas Building, the Hias Council of
Organizations pledged itself to raise
$50,000 during the next six months
to be devotsd toward the current
deficit of the Hebrew Sheltering and
Immigrant Aid Society.
The consensus of opinion express-
ed by many of the delegates, who
collectively represented 327 lodges,
societies, Workmen’s Circle branches
and synagogues, was to the effect
that the Hias now finds itself in an
extremely precarious state financial-
ly and hence steps must be taken to
insure its continuance as a necessary
adjunct of Jewish communal life.
By resolution adopted, it was left
to the executive committee of the
Council to devise tbe manner and
methods in which the money is to
be' raised. A direct tax on members
of the affiliated organizations, as
well as general solicitation, were dis-

ish Agricultural Society, closed on
Monday after a two-day session, dur-
ing which many problems of Jewish
farmers were discussed and resolu-
tions adopted
that the condition of Jewish farming
has changed considerably since or-
ganized efforts to help the Jewish
farmers began 30 years ago; that
the Jewish farm movement has grown
so widely'and rapidly that there are
now throughout the country a large
number of successful Jewish farm
communities and individual farmers;
that the tendency under present eco-
nomic conditions is such that the
number of Jews who are settling on
land is greatly increasing; and that
on account of the changing condi-
tions the present state of financial
resources to promote Jewish fanning
is not adequate to meet the new sit-
uation.
Taking into, consideration these
various problems, the Conference
elected a. committee of nine to con-
sider ways and means by which fi-
nancial resources can be increased to
meet these problems. The resolution
farther stated that “We Jewish prac-
tical farmers see the necessity of be-

St. Louis. (JTA)—Former Judge
Samuel Roaenf^ld, past president
local B’nai B’rith Lodge and active
in the Y. M. H. A. and in other civic
affairs, changed his .name to Samuel
Rosa Enfield by order of Circuit
Court Judge Killoren. The name Ros-
cnfeld was a source of embarrass-
ment and trouble he testified and
caused him difficulty when traveling
abroad, in the visaing of passports
snd at custom inspections. This has
proved a detriment to him and inter-
fered with his orderly travels.
Former Judge Enfeld is 67 years
old. The announcement of his change
of named caused much comment
here.
In 1910 Governor Gardner ap-
pointed Enfeld, Judge of the Circuit
Court. He is - active In Democratic
politics. Twice he was unsuccessful
party candidate for Congressman
and in 1928 sought the Democratic
nomination for Lieutenant Gover-
