and refreshing to our physical senses, so the red of the flag is symbolical of the sweet and pleasing opportunity extended by our glorious country fo. equality in life, 1Iperty, and pursuit of happiness, of the privilege of liv- ing periodically our own lives true to God and country, of the sweetness of life in bringing up our families as honorable men and women, of the beauty of fellowship with Americas highest ideals and men.
 The white reminds us of the purity of Americas traditions, ideals, and aspirations; of the clean and pure lives we are permitted and inspired to lead, and the nobility of Americas hopes for the future of mankind.
 The blue reminds us of the con- trasting color on the priestly garb of Irael of old, and at the same time symbolizes the blue of oceans depth and heavens color, reminding us that as true and faithful citizens of this glorious land, our opportunities and privileges are as deep the ocean and as boundless as high as heaven itself.
 The musical program was arrang- ed by Mrs. Charles H. Sha piro of the Bridgeport section, Council of Jewish Women, and Mrs. Louis Baumrind, of the Ladies Machzeke Talmud Torah society.

 close of each day give thanks to Al
 mighty God for the blessings we are permitted to enjoy under our starry flag.
 It Is the mission of the Jew to bring cheer to the newcomer, to the
 new settler, and show him the op- portunity to make a better American
 out of himself for the unity of Israel for social and civic betterment. And right here in our own city of Bridge
 port the wonderful cooperation of
 our Jewish women have set stan dard of Americanism which is most gratifying to all of us. Only within the past few weeks they have sold more than one million dollars worth of Victory Bonds and our Jewish boy scouts and camp fire girls have aid ed nobly in every civic enterprise, for this we may truly rejoice for it indicates a high standard of loyalty to God, to country and to Israel Those who first settled here had many serious problems confronting them. The poor today are much better off than the rich were 100 years ago. The difficulty with Is that we have been thinking in terms of riches, In terms or DlgneSS. we now have large cities. large rail- roads, large institutions, but we did not always stop to think about them.
 whether they are beautiful, whether they are sound, whether they are
 worthy bigness alone appealed to us. Our eyes are open now and we are looking at it from another standpoint,
 that of betternent in an artistic. in a civic and in a philant1ropic way. This country is the most wonderful country in the world. not only be- cause of the people that go to make , it up, but because it has all the ad- vantages and can do even better for those who settle here, than any country on any other continent. Just stop to think of the vast expanse of the United States of America, of which today, as a citizen, have the honor to speak, and it is an honor to be a citizen of such a country. It
 has forests broader than many coun-
 tries in Europe; it has mountains
 greater than the Alps. laden with
 gold and silver, with copper and
 lead. oil and gas, and more than all.
 millions of acres of fertile fields
 growing corn and wheat and grain.
 It has, moreover. those great oppor-
 opportunity for unlimited education.
 the opportunity for unlimited
 suffrage.

 not only stands for sacrifice. It is
 typical of the American beauty rose,
