We Want Your Old Cloth.
Have you any old clothes that you
can't use?
Do you know that your fathers
mothers brothers sisters and children
in Europe need them?
Fort Worth Jews have through our
appeals in the Monitor contributed
much to this clothing campaign but
before we ship the loads of old clothes
we want to give a chance to everyone
in town.
If you did not do your share do it
now.
Clothes mean healthiness. Healthi-
ness means life.
Give them your old clothes and save
their lives.
We are shipping the clothes on June
6th.
Bring them before that time to the
Hebrew Institute and we will ship
them for you.

Fort Worth San Remo Celebration.
The Zionist Celebration of the San
Ktmo Announcement with regards to
Palestine which was to be held on
the 9th of May but was postponed on
account of inclement weather for
Sunday 16th was appropriately ob-
served with a program befitting an
occasion of this kind.
The exercises were arranged not
with an eye to variety or elaborate-
ness but with a single purpose of
bringing home to the audience tta
meaning of the great epoch-making
event in the history of the Jewish na-
tion. And judging by the earnest in-
terest displayed the solemn joyousness
on the faces of those present the hol-
iday spirit that permeated through the
audience and judging above all by tho
way sums of money were eagerly con-
tributedmany gave above their
means it showed that the people ap-
preciated to the full extent what this
occasion means and what it requires of
the Jewry of the world.
The meeting opened with the sing-
ing of the Hatikvah. Chairman I. N.
Mehl explained the purpose of ths
meeting and announced that represen-
tatives of nearly all Jewish organiza-
tions would be called upon for remarks
and the following offered remarks in
behalf of their several organizations:
Sam Gilbert in behalf of Congrega-
tion Ahavath Sholom.
M. Shanblum in behalf of the He-
brew Free Loan Association.
J. Wolffson for the Hebrew School.
Meyer Mehl for the I. O. B. B.
Max Herman for the Agudath
Achim.
Elll Gilbert for the Y. P. O. A.
Mrs. Sam Rosen with her usual
tact made some remarks appropriate
for the occasion for the Ladies' Aux-
iliary. Mrs. R. Goldstein won the audience
r
Mrs. Dan Brown under whose effi-
cient and tactful general chairman-
ship the Beth-El Sisterhood Bazaar
was given. It was one of the most
successful Jewish affairs ever given
in Fort Worth.
with her pointed remarks in behalf of
the Ladies Cemetery Society.
L. F. Shanblum delivered a "btraigh
from the shoulder" talk in behalf of
the Restoration Fund that won the
applause of all those present
Mr. M. Resnick mado a beautiful
talk in Yiddish.
A report from the recent Zionist
Convention was made by Charles
Braun.
The feature of the program how-
ever was the eloquent address and
appeal by Rabbi Abraniowitz. It was
an address that will long be remem-
bered by those who heard it Being a
thorough expert in Jewish history he
pictured the various tragedies through
which tch Jewish people have passed
through their lives in the diaspora. His
appeal for funds towards the Restora-
tion Fund that is now being gathered
for the purpore of rehabilitating Pales-
tine to enable the persecuted and pros-
ecuted Jews of Russia Poland and
Roumania to migrate there and find
a place where to rest their weary
bones has called forth a response
measured by the free contributions
made. And even the children have
brought forth their offerings. '
The Rabbi closed his address with
the offering of the prayer Shcheche-
yonu the audience reading after him
word for word.
The meeting was closed with the
singing of the Hatikvah. The impres-
sion left on those present was one
that it was the solemn duty of whom-
ever bears the name of Jew to do his
or her utmost in order to help the Res-
toration Fund the campaign for
which has now been inaugurated.
