Sussex Ministerial
Association Monday
Nah Who Has Had Close
AffiliatiOn With Palestine

MEET At LEWE,S IN
AFTERNOON AT 2:3O

His Experiences While
In The Holy Land

The Sussex County Ministerial
Association will hold its monthly
meeting Monday, January 10, at 2:30
D. III. in the parish house of the

cause of an unusually attractive
feature it is expected that this meet
ing will have a record breaking at
tendance.
"Zionism' is the subject that will
be presented. The political and le-
ligious conditions in Palestine are
attracting animated and world wide
discussion. The association is very
fortunate in securing as the speak
er one who by training, experience
and observation is rarely equipped
to describe the situation i'm Palestine
and the hopes of the Jewish people.
Rev. G. J.. Hooker, of SeafOrd, is
the chairman of the program cCm-
mittee and he announces that Rabbi
Max Cohen of Milford, has consent
cd to give his views for the occasion.
The Rabbi has had an interesting
history. He is a graduate of the
Jewish Theological Seminary Of
New York and has a B. A. degree
from New York University. Until
1917 he was a volunteer worker Tor
the Zionist Movement. During the
war he was associated with the Jew
ish Welfare Board. After the war
he was connected with the Junior
Educational Department. In 1919 he
went to the Holy Land as pioneer
of the ZiOnists. He became the
translator for Sir Herbert Samuel,
British High Commissioner Of Pal
ostine. He was then transferred to
the department of public works with |
headquarters at Jerusalem and be-
came the superintendent of clerks !
in charge of the correspondence re-
lating to the construction of bridges,
highways, waterways, power plants,
ETC., throughout Palestine.
Returning to the States he tour
ed the country from coast to coast
in, behalf of the Palestine Founda-
tion Fund. He then accepted the

A complete plan for providing for
the present and future building
needs of the various bureaus Of ad-
ministration of the State Govern
ment at Dover has been prepared, in
a report to be submitted to Cover
nor c. Douglass Buck, by a special
committee appointed last year by

tions for the enlargement of the

State purchase land adjoining the
State property in Dover from line
on the north parallel with North
street to line on the south paral-
lei to Water street.

should be laid out. Near the eastern
end and facing the old State House,

sum sufficient to acquire the land,
to erect the Legislative Building,
and lay out the roads and park.
