It is wrong to assume that VIE
have been singled out for special
visitation. Other generations have
suffered too and have survived to-
talitarian attacks. We take cour-
age not alone from the examples
of the past but even more from
the manner in which our people
are facing the dangers of the
present.
We, the Jews of America, are
doing all we can to bring relief to
those of our family caught in the
mo mans land" of Europe. We
have seen however that relief in
itself, while necessary, cannot adj
equately meet the problem of jew
iSh hOmeleSSneSS. 1t is to our cred
it therefore that we had the fore
sight to begin the preparation of
a home of refuge in Palestine for
those made homeless in Europe.
Since the coming of Hitler, and
particularly since the beginning of
the war, all of us in America have
been overwhelmed witt appeals
for help from fellow Jews de-
prived of all their material pos
sessions, of all human civil and
political rights. In our desire to
rescue them we sought refuge for
them in all countries of the world
including our own. Everywhere the
doors were shut; or opened just
a little way = reluctantly and

aged to save fortunate few and
to provide them with some meas
ure of security in our midst, but
the great problem of resettlement
for the many thousands, still
caught in the European upheaval,
remains. We have tried and in
vestigated many schemes of re-
settlement in many sections of
the world. But the experience of
these past years gives convincing
proof to even the most doubling
Of our fellow American Jews that
our greatest hope rests in Pales-
tine. For this great task we must
appeal on this New Year not alone
to the Zionists Of America but to
all the Jews of America. The prob
lem of Jewish homelessness and
it's solution is the concern of all
of us. I appeal to all Jews of ev-
cry class and of every shade of
opinion to join in helping to pre-
serve what we have already estab-
lished in Palestine. We must unite
to help extend the possibilities of
Palestine as a place of immediate
refuge. Tens Of thousands Of Jews
eagerly await the chance to set
tie there. We must give them that
chance.
Hitler did not find us all to-
gether unprepared. One half mil
lion Jews who otherwise would
have been without home over
their heads now have home and
security in Eretz YiSrOel; organ
lied, strong, self-sufficient, they
face the future with courage and
faith. They have proven what Jews
can do in land they can call their
own. They have proven their abb
lity to defend it as well as to build
it. They present the greatest hui
man manifestation of our time,
establishing not merely a haven OF
refuge but rich new life and So
cial order that invites the admira-
ton of the world.
This achievement of our people
in Palestine should make us proud.
The example of their courage and
bravery should inspire us with new
hope and with new courage to face
the future. AS we join in prayer
for the New Year we should thank
God for the privilege that is ours
to help build once more the Jew
ish Homeland. We should be CRATE
full that in these United States we
have the freedom not alone to
shape our own lives and to wor-
ship in our own way, but also the
means and the opportunity to help
save the remnant Of Israel. We
must resolve to devote our means
and our strength to preserve and
to extend what our Chalutzim
have already established in Pales-
tine. AS Americans we shall pray
for the preservation of democracy
and for the redemption of free
peoples everywhere in tn world.
We must have complete faith i'll
the ultimate defeat Of the enemies
of democracy and when that day
shall come Israel in Palestine will
find it's proper place among the
nations of the world. On the TIRES
hold of this New Year our
thoughts go out to our people ev-
erywhere-here and abroad, in Eu-
rope and in Palestine who must
face the future with courage and
with faith. We, too, must have
that faith. We, too, must have that
courage; and the victory shall be

Public Power Advocates PLANNING
To Acquire P. S. P. & L. Co. Agencies

Public power advocates in the
Puget Sound area Tuesday were
laying plans for acquisition by
public agencies Of the Puget Sound
Power q Light company's proper
ties after Bonneville Administrator
Paul J. Raver said Monday such
an acquisition was the mo. I
problem" in bringing public power
10 the area.
Addressing Tacoma Chamber of
Commerce., Or. Raver appealed to
the areas businessmen to support
the public power program and said
he was offering a business-like
deal in the acquisition Of the pri-
waite utility properties which
would provide business-like ad-
ministration in operation.
He said he had received a petit
ton from the public utility dis
tricts in the Puget Sound area re-
questing help in formulating an
acquisition plan.
Lists Advantages
Raver said that adoption of the
plan outlined would have the fol-
lowing advantages:
/. 1t would eliminate severance
damages which result when sys-
TENS are broken up.
2. Pending completion of nego-
tiations it would provide mora
torium on con len n a ton suits
which he said he advocated only
as a last resort.
3. II would provide for financing
by the federal government.
4. II would eliminate the pay
ment of fees for fiscal agents and
financing charges.
8. II would assure efficient
operation of the utility as system
and assure Its retention Of present
employees of the private company.
8. 1t would carry out the ex-
pressed desire of the people of the
area for public ownership and ex-
pedite the anticipated reduction In
rates under such a system and
stimulate new industrial and other
power uses.
Z. II would assure a fair deal
to the bondholders and stoekhold-
ers of the company.
The administrator said he had
chosen Tacoma as a place to dis
cuss the Puget Sound acquisition
problem and the public power pro-
gram in general because people
favoring public distribution of
power find in the experience Of Ia
coma a working example of their
belief" Tacoma has operated ITS
own municipal light plant for
many years and has the lowest re-
tail rates in the ARA.

tribution," Raver said. You have
much to be proud of in your record
of orderly transition from private
to public ownership and in your
consistent achievement of lower
rates for every class Of consumer"
THE most satisfactory plan for
acquiring the Puget Sound COM
pany's system. would be for the
government TO aid the organized
public districts by taking over
generating properties Of the COM
pany now supplying more than
one district and by purchasing
the major transmission lines and
operating them in connection with
the lines being constructed by the
federal government" he said.
Plans for an overall corpora
ton to acquire the company's
properties could be arranged, he
said. Such local distribution prop
critics as they could operate would
be turned over TO the districts and
the city of Seattle.
Remaining facilities would be
operated by the corporation until
acquired by public agencies.

Election Con.

By Courts
Supreme Court Upheld
Judge Wilson's Denial
For Recount of Vote

DIR. w. johnson, who contested
the election of DR.. Julian F. Du-
Bots, as director Of the Board of
Education Of the local school dis
trict, lost his case in the Mime
sofa Supreme Court on November
22nd, according to st. Paul news
dispatch.
The Supreme Court upheld a
decision given in district court by
Judge Wilson, of Moorhead, who
denied a motion by DR.. johnson to
have the contest placed for trial
on the April 1910 calender Of the
Stearns County district court.
DR.. johnson petitioned for a re-
count of the ballots in the election,
in which he received 500 votes,
while DIR. Dubois polled 401. Under
the law, election contests of school
districts and townships are not per-
mitted, and for that reason his
petition was denied in both courts.
DR.. Johnson took the case to the
Supreme Court to have the law
clarified as a test case, and also
paid the expenses Of the case. Un-
der the law the defendant would
have to pay his own expense, but
DR.. johnson placed a bond for the
protection Of the defendant, and as
said before paid the expense.

An Unusual
Deer Hunting
Experience
Many Other Hunters
Returned From
Woods. With Deer

Quite a number Of hunters were
lucky on their recent deer hunt
ing trips, but not quite so lucky as
was Jack Mathiesen, Getty Town
ship farmer, who proved his Prov
ess as a big game hunter in a
jaunt.
Mr.. Mathiesen had planned to go
on the trip with Emil Ripka, Joe
and Charlie Miller, but was de-
layed. The latter three left on Fri
day and went on ahead to set up
camp and, If possible, to bag q
deer or two the first day. Jack
left Saturday morning early and
arrived at a point twenty miles
from camp, when he saw a fawn
along the road. He drove on past
the animal, stopped his car, reach
ed for his rifle and loaded It i'm
mediately-he fired and missed. He
reached for another shell, and out
of the woods popped a buck-a
dandy. He again took aim, this
time at the buckle fired and the
deer whirled and went back into
the woods. Again he thought he
had missed, but upon investigation
found small blood stain on the
snow. He went into the woods and
found more evidence that his shot
had met its MARYLAND then he
discovered the buck, dressed it out,
loaded it on the car and headed
for camp. He drove into camp,
proudly displaying the animal and
Jack thinks he was one Of a very
few who could boast of that kind
of luck. The party returned from
the north woods on Thanksgiving
day and each one had q deer. Emil
Ripka, farmer residing south of
the city, was the chef, and his
hunting pals state that he brewed
up many a fine dish--that he Is
