MEETS HITLER OUTRAGES
The movement began shortly
after the rise of Adolph Hitler
to power in Germany. The first
group of refugees sent to Pal
eStine by Youth 'Aliyah was in
1884. Since then $4,000 boys
and girls have been sent to Pal
estine to start life anew in the
Jewish homeland.
Large American flags decorat-
ed the pillars in the ballroom.
An immense Zionist flag with
the star Of David in the center
formed wall panel as a back
ground for, the speakers table.
Smaller American and Zionist
flags were placed as centerpiece
decorations for the tables. The
speakers table, which extended
nearly the entire length Of the
ballroom, was placed upon the
lower balcony and was decorated
with bouquets of spring flowers.
ENDEAvORS OUTLINED
Mrs. Tourover opened the pro-
gram by an introduction of the
honor guests. In her address
to the members and guests, she
outlined the endeavors of the
organization, and told Of its in
crease in membership through a
newly organized subordinate
group Of the local chapter, the
Business and Professional Wom-
ems Club. Mrs. Tourover stated
that the annual report gener-
ally given at the spring lunch
con would be dispensed with be-
cause the event was entirely de-
voted to Youth Aliyah."
What we say is of little coll
sequence, since the world soon
forgets," she declared. But
what we do is more important,
r and that the world will never
forget.
Our organization must be
cognizant of the fact that gen.
crosby equals understanding;
understanding equals generoS-
ity, and we stand firm in our be-
liefs."
