humanitarian organizations.
“Despite the difficulties created
by the world situation," Mr. Trop-
er pointed out, “the J. D. C. work
is being expanded instead of be-
ing contracted. The overseas staff
of the J. D. C. is willing and
ready to bring aid wherever it is
needed, provided they are sup-
plied with the necessary funds.
They are actually fighting in the
field. They are not only carrying
on our relief work; they are hold-
ing fast the lifeline that America
extends to these distressed peo-
ples so that they do not feel cut
off from all help and hope.
“I know that there are thous-
ands of American Jews who would
be glad to brave the perils of em-
battled Europe in order to bring
succor. They have an opportun-
ity to make just as vital a con-
tribution. They can do it by sup-
porting the United Jewish Ap-
peal, because in the last analysis,
it is on the success of the United
Jewish Appeal in every commun-
ity in America that our ability
to continue our work of mercy
overseas must depend.’’
Mr. Troper said that he was
certain the Jews of Europe would
be greatly heartened by the
pledges of increased support for
the augmented program of the J.
D. C. which the Jews of America
had given him.
Vichy—Another 14 Jewish fam-
ilies with 26 members were among
60 denaturalized under a decree
published today.
THE JEWISH HERALD-VOICE
CANTOR KAPLAN, LIBBIE
PALLA TO SING ON M. M.
MOTHERS’ DAT PROGRAM
An outstanding musical pro-
gram has been arranged for the
Annual Mother's Day celebration
of the M. M. Society Sunday, May
11, at Temple Beth Israel. In ad-
dition to the principal address of
Judge James V. Allred, friends
of the M. M. Society will hear
Cantor Reuben Kaplan of Dallas
and Miss Libbie Palla, Houston
song bird.
Cantor Kaplan of t Dallas, is
well known to the public of Hous-
ton by his outstanding renditions
of favorite Hebrew songs. He has
made numerous appearances in
this vicinity and his appearance
on this program is by popular re-
quest.
Libbie Palla, like Cantor Kap-
lan, is an old favorite on Mothers’
Day programs. Through her num-
erous participations in contests
and her eventual victories she has
been hailed the sweetheart of
local air lanes. She is due to
sing popular Mothers’ Day airs.
Judge Allred will be introduc-
ed by Rabbi Henry Bamston of
Temple Beth Israeli Dr. Bamston
has always accorded the M. M.
Society the honor of introducing
its principal speaker.
Judge Allred, with a statewide
reputation as an orator, will speak
on some important aspect of
Mothers’ Day, relative to the con-
dition of our modem civilization.
The opening and closing prayers
will be given by two local rabbis.
Another musical performer will be
added to the program this week.
There will be no charge to any-
one. Everyone is invited to be the
guest of the M. M. Society on
this memorable occasion.
A flower from the M. M. Society
will appear on all mothers who
attend the affair. The annual re-
ception will be held in the Abe
Levy Hall immediately following
the program and this open affair
will conclude the Mothers’ Day
program.
Mothers’ Day is just one week
from this Sunday, and this beau-
tiful dedication to our mothers
should point all roads to the Tem-
ple Betti Israel on that date.

TO THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF ADATH YESHURUN:
Because of the pressure of time during the program, at the Congre-
gation Adath Yeshurun Golden Jubilee Banquet, which was held
Sunday, April 27th at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, adequate acknow-
ledgment was not possible to all who deserved praise and thanks for
their share in making the evening the huge success that it was. I
want to make this a personal as well as a public message to the men
who worked hard for days and I should like everyone to know to
whom credit is due.
Mrs. Sam Rosenberg was responsible for the beautiful decorative
effects and for the lovely floral arrangements. Her artistic ability
put at our service, gave the banquet unusual charm. Besides this she
never shirked doing any other work pertaining to the affair.
We have a man in our city whose business it is to render Jewish
service. It ts not often recognized that he gives more than his business
commitments require. I am speaking of D. H. White, publisher of
the Texas Jewish Herald-Voice. The Jubilee Banquet Committee
feels indebted to him for the unlimited amount of time that he spent
in planning, in revising, and in advising them on the hundreds of
details. That he produced outstanding results in the printing of the
various forms, everyone could see. The publicity he gave us in
the weekly paper bore fruit. Over 600 people were served at the
Banquet and about 200 people had to be denied reservations. We
feel that the popularity of the affair was in a great measure due to
Mr. White’s fine service.
The next effective job was done by the Reservations Committee,
headed by Mrs. Chas. A. Keilin and composed of the following
members: Mrs. Israel Weiser, Mrs. Max Clairfield, Mrs. Archie
Landau, Mrs. Bernard Farfel, Mrs. Harry S. Kaplan, Mrs. Mike M.
Goldstein, Mrs. Harry Kessler, Mrs. Sam Rubenstein, Mrs. Maurice
Dushkm. Mrs. Saul Prensky, Mrs. Oscar Alpert, Mrs. Sol Kleinman,
Mrs. Alfred Mitz, Mrs. Morris Shainock, Mrs. Sol Laufman, Mrs. Moe
Mandel, Mrs. Ben Streusand and Mrs. Harry Paine.
A constant help was Mrs. A1 Goodman, Secretary to the Committee,
Mrs. Abe Sampson, Treasurer of the Committee and Mr. M. I. Rosen-
berg who put his engineering knowledge at our disposal by plotting
floor plans.
When we come to the affair itself, we were again fortunate to have
the services of Mrs. Ben Sampson and Mrs. Joe Weingarten who sup-
ervised the menu, and Mrs. Sam Finger, the preparation of the meal.
The very effective handling of the seating and of the microphones
at the speaker’s table was carried out by the Ushers Committee, headed
by Mr. Morris Rosenthal and Mr. Max Clairfield, ably assisted by
Mr. Sol Laufman, Mr. Louis Bale and Mr. Louis Rosenberg, and
Maurice Dushkin, Dr. Dave Blonstein, Aaron Farfel, Saul Prensky,
Samuel Shainock, and Mike Goldstein.
The chairs on the dais and carpeting was provided by The Finger
Furniture Co., and the Westheimer Transfer and Storage Co. put
its transfer facilities at our disposal.
At the Banquet we were pressed for time and now we are running
out of space to sing the praises of everyone who helped with the
Banquet. In addition to those named above, my Committee was
composed of Mrs. L. W. Tarnopol, as co-chairman, Mrs. Harry
Caplovitz, Mr. Hyman Finger, Mr. Abe Greenberg, Mr. Morris
Hoffman, Mr. M. T. Kay, Mrs. Ben F. Leff, Mr. Gus Levine, Mrs.
Joe Levit, Mr. Nathan Lewis, Mrs. John Mendlovitz, Mr. Harry
Paine, Mr. Louis Pulaski, Mrs. Chas. Spiner, Mr. Abe M. Stracks,
Mrs. Harry Wolf, Mrs. J. L. Zuber and Mr. P. A. Zuber.
A note of charm was lent by the Reception Committee composed of
ladies mentioned in other connections on the Committee and Mes-
dames Aaron L. Finger, Max Lewis, Max Landman, Louis Pulaski
and Sanders A. Tofield.
All others who appeared on the program and whose services were
acknowledged at the Banquet proper need not be repeated here.
It was a great event and I am glad to have played a part in it.
Sincerely,
BEN SAMPSON,
Chairman Banquet Committee.
MRS. SAM ROSENBERG
" . . . under her expert eye
beauty reigned.”
