day were in observance of Chanu-
kah. the Hebrew Feast OF Lights,
commemorating the restoration OF
the temple at Jerusalem. NJ. Katz,
editor of the Jewish World, deliv-
cred the address. The program in
cluded recitatlons, dances and a
playlet by the Junior clubs.
Mr.. Katz spoke on "our Duty at
the Present Hour" He stressed
Americanization and showed that a
proper Interpretation OF that term
would prove there is nothing in the
principles OF the founders OF the
Republic that was in any way in
contradiction with the principles OF
Judaism. on the contrary, he point
ed out, Americanization really calls
upon the Jewish people to preserve
their ancient teachings, for those
teachings were the same as those
Of Thomas jefferson and other
American patriots.
The chairman last night was
Samuel Cannon, vice-president
of the Jewish Community Cen
ter and chairman of the execu-
tive committee. Before introducing
the speaker he outlined the work Of
the Jewish Community Center.
He repeated the fact that the
Jewish Community Center is more
than a mere change OF name OF the
Y. NJ. II. A. OF the past. for the
change as is exemplified in the ac-
tivIties and contents of the institu-
tion Is a real step forward toward a
more comprehensive and vital COM
pounitv building. He urged the
audience>to participate in the weekly
activities. calling attention 10 the
fact that there were approximately
twenty clubs in the building during
the week.
The first number on the program
was a recitation by Florence Vein
berger. Then followed minuet
dance by Sarah Lipzin and Pearl
Platinsky, Miss Jeanette Freeman
AT the piano. The next number was
a playlet. entitled THE Young De-
fender" given by the members or
the Iris Club. The cast of the play
was as follows: Pearl Platinsky'
Sarah Lipzin. Jennie Sklut' julia
Tell. Francis Backstein and Ida
Feinsmith.
The playlet was written by Mrs.
Lee j. Levinger and coached by Mrs.
Samuel Saretsky. A feature OF the
