No doubt the Emperor would have been glad to hear the full-

Eric A. Johnston, author of the famous Jordan River plan and * cultural commodities and the
President of the Motion Picture Association of America said at I other of equipment and mater-
Miami, “the economic and democratic growth of Israel has proven I ials for industry and agricul-
to the underdeveloped countries that they could achieve progress j ture . . . The agricultural com-
without compromising the principles of liberty.” Israel is show- mcdities are sold by the U.S.
ing the way to “progress and liberty” not by preaching but pre-
cept.
Israel needs to develop the Negev to take care of an expand-
ing population—for the increasing stream of immigration and for
purposes of security and Jews are being asked to raise a mini-
mum of $66,500,000 principally for investment in the Negev, for
irrigation, the development of port facilities, the exploitation of
the mineral and agricultural possibilities. The campaign of con-
quest of the Negev, as Ambassador Michael Comay of Israel point-
ed out, is harnessing all the latest scientific tools, distillation of
salted sea water, atomic and solar energy.
The Negev may perhaps be likened to a child who seems with-
out promise, but often the inarticulate reveal hidden talents. The
lack of water in the Negev desert can be overcome and has al-
Lween the United States and Is-1 ©embay of the Council of Jewish
rael? . . . This question is now i Federations and Welfare Funds
Government to Israel as surplus
products to be paid for in Israeli
currency which remains in the
country as a counter-part Ameri-
can contribution to various Is-
raeli development projects . . .
This part of American-Israeli
trade will practically be little
affected ... As to the sales of
American industrial equipment
this year . . . The larger the
number of Jewish all-day
schools grows throughout the
country, the more controversial
the issue becomes ... In some
communities, like Cleveland,
these schools are already being
subsidized by the local federa-
tion on the ground that they
represent a philosophy of Juda-
ism that is worthy of commun-
ity support ... In other com-
munities, like Minneapolis, the
all-day schools are being denied
federation support because some
community leaders feel that
Jews should not support paro-
chial schools ... A major argu-
ment advanced in these com-
munities is that persons who
and raw materials to Israel, it is wish to have private education
expected that they may increase
despite the fact that the Israeli
pound has declined in value vis-
ready been overcome to ain extent by irrigation. It is in this bare ; a-vis the dollar . . . This expec-
Negev that, since the establishment of the state of Israel, there '
have been found the King Solomon copper mines, the Heilez oil
fields, the Zo'har gas field. The psalmist had noted that “the stone
which-the builders rejected” has often “become the corner stone.”

Hotel. Invitations will be sent to
all Ticket Sales Chairmen, and
Presidents of participating or-
ganizations, in addition to the
Queens who will each be allow-
ed to invite two guests.
A highlight of this affair will
be he naming of the “First Lady
of (the Tea,” who will be sur-
prised with a Treasure Chest of
Gifts; and her two “Ladies in
Waiting” who will also receive
gifts. This recognition will be
given to the three woman Who
have sold the greatest number
Of tickets to the Purim Ball. It
is therefore essential that all
monies for the ticket sales be
turned in at the Tea.
A delightful, original playlet,
entitled “Queen for a D(ay,”
written especially for this oc-
casion by Mrs. Joe Norman and
Mrs. Edwin Balaban, will be
from 118 war-torn countries to a
safe haven in Oswego, New
York.
She also covered UJA’s “Oper-
ation Azra” which carried out
the, rescue of 110,000 Jews from
Iraq and transported them to Is-
tation is based on the announce-
ment by the Israel Government
of cutbacks on import duties and
other levies to offset the new
difference between the pound
and the dollar . . . This ex-
pectation is based on the an-
nouncement by the Israel Gov-
ernment of cutbacks on Import;
for their children should sup-
port that effort without the help
of the community . . . While the
battle among the proponents and
opponents of community aid to
all-day schools is growing, the
lumber of such schools is also
growing . . . In 1935, there were
only 17 Jewish day schools in

meaning of Judaism . . . Ex-
plaining the Biblical era, he au-
thor presents a graphic picture
of each of the prophets and the
differences between them . . •
He then devotes about 150 pages
to tihe Talmudic era, explaining
how the Talmud came into be-
ing, the personalities of the Tal-
mudic period, their parties and
ideologies, and the code of eth-
ics established ,.by the Talmud
. . . The author, deals in details
not only with... the creators of
the Talmud, but also with ethics
they preached — ethics of fam-
ily living, of friendship, of child-
rearing, of personal conduct, of
labor, of business and commerce,
etc. . . . From the Talmudic
©ra the author passes to the era
of the great Jewish philosophers
and explains the personalities
and doctrines of each of these
philosophers . . .■ He then comes
to the contemporary Jewish phil-
osophers — Spinoza, Mendels-
sohn, the Baal tShem Tov who
founded Hassidism, the philoso-
phers of Reform Judaism, the
Cabbalist, the “Muisar” move-
ment. Ah ad Ham. Dr. Herzl,

Today there are more than 270
schools, and they are located in

phasize is, that unlike the philo-
