Alert Phone Girls
Direct W0man's Rescue

Duluth-Quick action on the
part Of two alert telephone opera
tors prevented the possible death
of a Duluth woman on a recent
evening. Receiving no response to
number please" after Miss Velma
Koski received a flash from the
home of Miss Emma Schneider, she
became alarmed when she heard
what sounded like heavy breathing
coming over the wire. Miss Ebba
Lundsten, exchange supervisor,
was notified and she called to in
vestigate a neighbor, Mrs. Arthur
Johnson, who received no response
to repeated ringings of the door
bell, which could also be heard
over the wire. The police, then
notified, gained entrance to the
house and discovered that Miss
Schneider had fallen down stairs,
knocking the telephone over and
disconnecting the receiver thus
picking up the sound of breathing
as it lay close to the unconscious
woman. Miss Schneider sustained
a fractured arm and possible skull
fracture, but though her condition
Is critical, she has the telephone
girls to thank for her life.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

HOWeVer, engaged
in desperate struggle human beings and cities slain
and wrecked by bombs, there is greater wish-and
that wish should be in the hearts and minds of all
of us. It is PEACE.
There can be no happy New Year without peace,
let in daily prayer and thought hope that the
problems of the world be settled peacefully in 1911
so that we might remain at peace with the world.
1941-there lie all the hopes and aspirations of
mankind. May they be fulfilled that our wish
of a Happy New Year to you will come true.

course the distinction may have come to us because
we wear the garb our city cousins, and they

thousands of Jews, mostly from
Galicia, and dispatched them to

Senior Hadassah Will Participate
In 1910 Zionist Shekel Campaign

Mrs. David de Sofa Pool, ma
tional president of Hadassah, the
Women's Zionist Organization of
America, has issued a call to the
members of Hadassah throughout
the country to give added service
to the Zionist cause by enlisting
the members of their families and
their friends in support of the
Shekel Campaign.
Stating that the Shekel is one
of the strongest and richest in
struments of Zionist activity to
be found, Mrs. de Sofa Pool says
that every man and woman whose
heart responds to the Zionist
cause can become an integral part
of the greatest movement in the
last two thousand years of Jew
ish history by enrolling as a Shek-
ell Payer.
Mrs. de Sofa Pools statement
is as follows:
"Hadassah, the Women's Zion
list Organization of America, well
comes heartily the current Shekel
Campaign, which gives every Jew
the opportunity Of identifying
himself with the cause of Zion and
the rebuilding of the Jewish Ma
tional Home.
Though the Shekel represents
only mite in terms Of dollars and
cents, it is one of the strongest
and richest instruments of Zion
list action to be found. For it
means that practically every man
and woman whose heart responds
to the Zionist cause can be an in
tegral part of the greatest move
ment in the last two thousand
years of Jewish history.
"Hadassah, conscious Of the i'm
portance of the regular and an
nual payment of the Shekel to the
World Zionist Organization, has
consistently made it a part of its
membership dues. The largest
Zionist group in the world, Ha-
dassah is also the largest single
Shekel paying organization. New
ertheless, although every member
of Hadassah is also Shekel hold
er in the World Zionist Organiza-
ton, the National Board calls up
on the members of Hadassah
throughout the country to give
added service to the Zionist cause

Week In Review
RTTMANIA'S ANTI-JEWISH
LAW
4, MILTON Brown. liza.

LAW
The long-awaited Rumanian an
H,Jewish code has been an
Uounced, to the accompaniment of
the arrest of more than a hundred
Jews and immediate plans for inn
fermentation of the anti-Semitic
legislation.
The effect of the law is to de-
nrive the great majority of Ru-
mania's 100000 Jews of the right
to hold positions in the Govern
ment service, in many professions
and in business. Partial eXemp-
tons are allowed for the families
Of war veterans, but not m ore
than 10000 persons are so fav-
Ored.
Perhaps even more severe than
the anti-JewiSh code itself is a
separate decree fOrbidding inter-
marriage and annulling all past
mixed marriages. AS a result of
this decree, thousands of children
Of mixed marriages are reduced to
the status of illegitimates and are
deprived Of civil rights.
The Bucharest bar, the national
tobacco monopoly and other or
CARNATIONS are rushing to imple-
ment the anti-Jewish code. They
have already taken action to GUST
Jews, and the Government is eX-
pected to speed action in other
fields.
At the same time, more than
100 Jews have been arrested, most
Of them on charges of spreading
alarmist" propaganda. These per-
sons have been interned in a con-
centratiOn camp. The first arrests
under the law banning Kosher
Slaughter were also reported. A
SchOchet and several other persons
we're arrested in Satu Mare for il
egal distribution of kosher meat.
Among those especially hit by
me wave of arrests are Jewish
newspapermen. Among those ar
ested is Adolf Grindea, a cores
Pondent of the Jewish Telegraph
n A
Agency. Mikhail Dan, another
journalist, was reported arrested
IN charges of spreading false re-
ports" and allegedly acting as
British intelligence agent.
Under the pressure of the Axis,
which Rumania now kOwtOwS,
ne Bucharest Government has de-
Iaded the Jews into the position
y lower social strata in the Ru-
uAnla OF the new order" Hence
