AS we-a people whose con-
scious memory goes beyond the re-
corded history of any existing
branch of the human family-pre-
pare to usher in the advent of the
year SOL of the Hebrew calendar,
the issue is sharply and clearly
drawn: The outcome of the strug-
gle will determine whether light,
justice and freedom, as represent
ed by the Prophets of Israel, or
darkness, cruelty and oppression,
as represented by Nazidom and
paganism, are to be enthroned as
the masters of the worlds destiny.
There is strength, hope and COM
fort in the delineation of the is
sue. Right will prevail over might!
In its long history our people has
witnessed and survived the rise
and fall of brutal tyrannies that
sought similar world domination
through the crushing of the spirit
of freedom and of it's standard
bearers. Our martyr history is
the classic example of stubborn
resistance to evil and steadfast
and unflinching hope for the vic
tory of right. The severer the cri-
sis and the greater the suffering,
the deeper and the stronger has
become the hope of the Remnant
of Israel; the more numerous be-
came the ranks of those who ac-
cepted responsibilities for the out
come of the struggle.
In this struggle, the righting of
the wrongs that have been inflict-
ed upon Jewry and the upbuild-
ing of Eretz Israel occupy a piv-
otal part. While bombs are falling
from the sky, we must and shall
tenaciously cling to the spiritual
values which give life, and to the
soil in which our past and future
are deeply rooted. AS we usher in
the year SOL, we rededicate our
selves to the defense despite the
ferocity of the onslaught and the
temporary setbacks of the spir-
itual fortresses which guarded,
protected and sustained us in the
past. Taking up these tasks of
defense, we squarely face the re-
sponsibilities of this grave hour.
Together with the forces of de-
mocracy in the world, we stand
guard over it's bastions among
which Eretz Israel is one of the
few remaining fortresses. Hoping,
working and struggling for the
ultimate triumph of our cause, we
face the immediate responsibilities
of the hour. Of vital importance
among these is the wartime pro-
gram of the Jewish National Fund
in Palestine. In this spirit, we of
the Jewish National Fund are re-
doubling our efforts call up
on American Jewry to respond to
this call-for the wartime task of
the Keren Kayemeth which merits
the support and cooperation of
every Jew: More land for more
food for more people in Eretz
Israel!

The war that was launched with
the assault on Jewry seven years
ago is now reaching the hour of
ultimate crisis. Some of the foun-
dations and landmarks of a civili-
cation that had Hebrew mortar
as its cement, stand silhoutted-or
fall-against a sky set ablaze by
the implacable foes of everything
that has been lofty and sacred to
the western world for two millenia.

BOY SCOUTNEW

SCOUT BADGES

OSOO
Due to the many suggestions of
readers Of this newspaper as well
as scout supporters. am reserving
the space in this column for items
on Scout hobbies, insignia, editorials
and good turns as edited by the ma
tional office at New York.
The three points on standard
scout badge refer to the three points
of the scout oath, which are DUTY
to Gcd. Duty to Self. and Duty to
Others. The eagle is the emblem
of Freedom, the shield is the en-
blem of the United States, the two
stars represent the ideals of Truth
and knowledge, the ends of the
scroll at the bottom Of the badge
are turned up as a scouts lips as
he smiles while doing his daily good
turn. The scroll reads "Be Prepar-
ed" which means to aid those in
need at all times. The knot is a re-
minder that he does his good turn
daily.
CANfPOREE
Approximately $50 Boy Scouts at
tended the camporee at Tucson from
the half dozen Southern Arizona
communities maintaining scout
troops.
Patrols hiked into camp Saturday
morning and began operation de-
signed to show g, full fledged scout
routine as practiced on regular out
ings.
Highlights included a campfire
program of competitive skits, craft
exhibition and demonstrations.
PANTHER PATROL
Topping the standard set by the
eagle patrol last year at the camp

ther Patrol came back. to Nogales
late Sunday with 543 points. The pa
troll went under very strict and very
hard problems on their trip but all
came back with smiles. The patrol
represented Troop q of Nogales at
the Camporee.
Troop 81, at their regular meet
ing, had short business discussion
following the formal procedure Of
saluting the flag and repeating Of
the scout oath and laws. Many
scouts passed tests. Reviewing the

gobbi residence Sunday morning and
the profusion of beautiful floral Off
erings attested to the high esteem
in which she was held by her hun
dredS of acquaintances.
Mrs. Vergobbi is survived by her
husband and two adopted daughters,
Mrs. Rohan Cluff and Mrs. Fran
cisco Uribe, the three being among
the borders leading citizens and
who, in their hour of bereavement,
have the sympathy of the public in
general.
BORN IN ALAMOS
The well known pioneer was born
in Alamos, Sonora, and spent most
of her life in Nogales. She was edu-
Gated in Guaymas and Tucson and
Los Angeles, graduating from bust
ness college in the latter city.
Upon completion of her business
course, Mrs. Vergobbi, who was con-
nected by blood ties with some of
the most llustrious personalities
and families of Mexico, established
in Nogales, Sonora the first store
dealing exclusively in curios during
period when women in business
were a rarity on both sides of the
line.
Over a period of almost 40 years
she followed her career as propriet-
reSs of curio store with few inter
missions. Accompanied by her hus-
band, she frequently went to the in
terror of Mexico to secure art goods
of the finest quality available. The
Vergobbi parent location on Inter
national street in Nogales, Sonora,
and La Industrial Mexicana store at
80 Elias Street, across the line, are
treasure houses of beautifully
wrought curioS of all kinds
TELLS OF EARLY DAYS
On March 9th, exactly one month
before the death of Mrs. Vergobbi,
the Nogales International carried
an article in which she described
early days at Nogales.
What good time we used to
have here" she said. I'm the days
before the fence was built between
the two countries we never thought
of Nogales as two separate towns.
We celebrated all the holidays of
both countries together, joined in
our dances and entertainments no
matter which side of the line they
were given on and everyone was
very happy"
That article in The international
! on March 9th carried Mrs. Ver-
gobbis picture, (the one appearing
in today's paper) and it was the
first time, she said, II ever had my
picture in a newspaper"
