Within the past week three differ
ent groups of young people have asked
the cooperation of the Jewish News
in the establishment of Community
Center. These groups realize the lin
itations of their own organizations
when they are closely associated with
any one limited organization. Local
centers are good in their way, but
Denver should have one center for the
community at large. If local centers
can be built, why not one in central
location for the whole community? IN
this home all organizations, lodges ana
clubs could meet which are not nf-
filiated societies of the local centcrs.
The desire now comes from those who
need it. Let all unite their efforts
all work together-dnd the thing can
be done. Other cities have accom-
plishcd it and find they are able TO
support it financially. The benefit
which accrucs to the community can-
not be counted in dollars and cents

EDITORIAL CHAT

BETHEL, on a Sunday evening and u
Monday morning to discuss their par
ticipation in the nationwide revival of
Judaism which the Union of American
Hebrew congregations is now conduct
ing. The speakers all stressed the
part the Jewish women must play III
the reviving of Jewish practice and
principles in the daily affairs of life,
and each appealed to the Jewish
women that they set an example in
their conduct and careers so that all
Jews might pattern their lives after
these models.
The necessity for the observance of
the Sabbath was accentuatcd. The
Jewish women were asked to pledge
themselves to refrain from shopping
or from appearing in the shopping
districts on the Sabbath day. This
time could be devoted to the study of
their history and literature, which
would help them to break away from
modern frivolity and again bring
sanctity and religious fervor to the
Jewish home.
This might be begun very effective
ly by almost every young Jewess i'll
the city. Many of the older women
still retain the piety of their youth.
This is one place where mother or
grandmother are not behind the Tires.

Dear Mr.. Silberstein
Condolences certainly play great
role in life. Day before yesterday
Solomon KroJanker, of Ostrowo. called
and offered me good parti-a young
and pretty girl from Wrcschcn, said
to be very domestic and musical and
with a dowry of 10000 marks. Her
name he refuses to mention until ]
agree to give him a commission of 21a
per cent. That seems to me too much
and therefore there's a halt in the
business. but today already he writes
that he is willing to accept lier cent.
But, as l now infer from your valued
letter, it is your daughter offered to
me as future wife, I should be de-
lighted to accept the offer, provided
we could come to an agreement regard
ing the vexatious but highly necessary
dowry question. / too have a sister
for whom | must first provide hus-
band, and for that purpose l still lack
10000 marks. Therefore II you are
willing and able to give me 10000
marks l should be glad TO proceed
further in the matter, and your daugh
ter would make me the happicst of
men.
