Urges Closer Cooperation. Officers Reelected At An
 nuaI Meeting Sunday

Cultivation of better spirit of friendliness though the Young Mems Hebrew association, and similar or ganizations was urged by Isadore Shapiro of New York, in an address Sunday afternoon in the Y. N. H. A auditorium.
 Such a spirit is necessary, he said, if the Jewish religion is to avoid the controversies and schisn.s that have been the fate of other religions.
 "The Y. NJ. II. A. building should be the natural hub and center of every kind of social activity" he added. Tt ought to be the headquarters for every form of athletics and the cen ter of the social life of the entire Jewish population of Birmingham. Glasses in English and other sub jects, as well as work among the for eign-born population, should be in- cluded in the association's program of service" .s~ .7....,4 .s....
 Encouragement of good citizenship was referred to as one of the most important duties of the Y. M H. A.. and the speaker urged that lectures by prominent men of Birmingham and from other parts of the country be made possible, through the organiza- tion. .f
 ''The synagogucs do not draw and hold the Jewish youth of today. how ever much we may hate to admit the fact" he said. "The synagogue is more or less limited in its activity, and our young people are asking for something more substantial than what it gives. The Y. M H. A. can never take the place of it, but the two must work together. The ab- sence of something more substantial in our religious work has resulted in the increased interest Jewish people are showing in such things as ethical culture, socialism and untried brands of religion. They crave novelty and an outlet for their social instincts.
 ''The modern young woman needs some outlet for her restlessness, just like the young men," Mir. Shapiro continued. "Our modern way of liv- ing, with it's smaller families, larger greater leisure, has brought about a general dissatisfaction and per petual quest for thrills. The Y. W H. A. and the Y. M. H. A. have as their work the diversion of their en- ergies into proper channels"
 All former officers were reelected at the business meeting that pre- ceded MT. Shapiro's address. Simon Klotz is president. and Louis Pizitz, first vice president. NJ. V. Joseph was elected second vice president, a new office, while two honorary vice pres idencies, also new offices. were filled by the election of Dr. Morris Newfield and Dr. Solomon Katz. B. M.
