HOLLYWOOD-The offstage
quality that like best about Bud
Abbott and Lou Costello is their
all-round enthusiasm and frank
enjoyment OF their current tri-
umphs. Too often, when some
body shoots into top-notch star
dom, he accepts it with a snug
ness indicating that wealth and
prominence are a natural destiny
and somewhat overdue.
These two ex-burlesque COM

modesty, are tfckled silly with

All this is quite a change from
their lives among the shippers

Here we find mot Even One
Hour A Year" can be found from
the time that it takes to make
money, to give to a community
meeting.
Isn't this probably one Of the
reasons why the Jews in Germany
find themselves in the plight that
they are now in? Couldn't a few
minutes and a few dollars have
stopped Hitler? They know now
that it could and would have but
they were too busy. They took
care of their business. one day;
but Hitler took care of them the
next.
This years drive is going to be
quite successful; in fact, the most
successful i'm the history of the
Jacksonville Community Council;
but even if ten times the sum
raised here were contributed, it
would not be enough to provide
protection for ourselves and for
our families.
These luncheons and parlor
meetings are being held today,
while we still have the opportuni-
ty, in order to protect ourselves
for the future we know to be in
store. Whether Hitler wins or
loses, economic readjustment will
follow present defense efforts. In
these readjustments someone must
suffer. Jews get their share of
the effects of general collapse but
they also get another dose even
more unpleasant-the blame for
the collapse.
The seventy-twO who did not
show up at last weeks luncheon
will howl for action, then it will
be too late. 1t was too late every
where else in the world. Are we
different? Unfortunately, it seems
that the seventy-tWO who did not
show up compared with the eight
that did definitely answers the
question.

But they have got to be many

Jews in Europe depend directly on
the Joint Distribution Committee
for their daily bread. But there
are additional thousands upon
thousands whom the Joint Distri-
button Committee cannot help
simply for lack of funds. Without
help, they will starve. With your
help, the Joint Distribution Com

frontiers and battle lines, and
they will live.

there is still time, and say '"They

Here lies the great and imni-

ment one of fateful decision for
every American Jew. So long as
any Jew anywhere is insecure in
his life, liberty and property; so
long as any Jew anywhere is de-
prived of the rights of citizenship
in his country; so long as any Jew
anywhere starves because he is
Jew; all Jews everywhere are
in danger.
