Palestine Rabbis Ask British Rabbinate
To Call Off Boycott OF Keren HayesOd

JERUSALEM (JTA)-A con-
ference of Palestine rabbis called
to discuss the controversy about
the religious education of the
Jewish children who recently ar
rived here from refugee camps
in Teheran, this week cabled to
the Union of Orthodox Rabbits in
London, asking it's members to
halt the boycott of the British
Keren Hayesod Campaign. The
rabbis are boycotting the fund as
a protest against what they con-
slider is an attempt by the Jewish
Agency to deprive the refugee
children of proper guidance.
AS a result of the conference,
which was addressed by Chief
Rabbits Herzog and Uziel and
Moshe Shapiro, representing the

and feels that Palestine should be
built as a cultural center and not
merely as a haven for refugees.
Philip carries all the enthu-

who placed Leon Springer in the

as "Iiberal", we believe !.
He is a nOn-ZiOnist His ac-
tivity in Jewish affairs belongs
to the membership ranks but
that doesn't stop him from think
ing AS he would probably
carry one electoral vote we De-
lieve his name was suggested SO
that the "labOr" people would
have a nominal place in the cleo

These, then, are our men and

they represent every part of

classified as almost on the left -.

AM to stop and muse
~ awhile on the can
- didates from Jack
SOnVIlIe go and speak of them and
their position in the community
and their individual character
Mrs. Israel Kaplan was nomi-
mated by the Council of Jewish
Women At present Cora
kaplan is president of the Temple
Slsterhood, position she has held
many times before In Sister,
hood work she is of national i'm
portance AS in her civic work
she is considered a leader It
is because Cora Kaplan has the
strength to follow her convictions
that she has the fiber for leader
ship -. and it is a fiber that is
polished by education and cul-
tural pursuits : AS wife of
the Temple rabbi she has her
hand on the pulse of Jewish activ-
ity Since the fate of Pales-
tine will be one of the issues dis
cussed at the Conference, it can
be stated that Mrs. Kaplan is
definitely non-Zionist
The Ladies Hebrew Sheltering
and Aid Society nominated Abe
Newman, who is president of the
Jewish Center 1t can be said
that Abe was called in by popular
acclaim because if the Ladies
Aid had not nominated him it was
certain that another group would.
When the elections are over it
will be able to be declared that
no greater honor can Jacksonville
pay any man than elect him to
represent it at the American
Jewish Conference-so united is
the community to place the ban
ner on the chest of it's favorite
son although he will probably be
too ill to attend the national
meeting However, those who
have nominated Abe and those
who have announced that they
will vote for him land it prob
ably will carry the majority of
the electors) feel that Abe's de-
votion to the Jewish community
deserves this token honor
Abe Newman is a past president
of B'nai Birth, and at a recent
open meeting by that group the
electors who stood for him were
given the plurality vote by the
assemblage AS president of
the Jewish Center he can be
credited with conducting what
was almost one man campaign
in lifting the mortgage which has
hung over the building =. and
it was a campaign that broke
Abe physically and sent him to
the hospital for a rest cure
Like his father before him, Abe
Newman is counted in the Zionist
ranks
The combined nomination of
Hadassah and the Jacksonville
Zionist District has placed Harry
Katz in the race Harry is
the president of the local ZIONIST
District 1t is to his effort
that the American-Palestine Com
mittee was organized here
as it is due to his leadership that
the membership of the Zionist
District here has doubled =.
BEFORE his interest in ZlOnISm
Harry's activities lay in Y. M. ii.
A but ne has been absent
from that field for many years.
Today all the force that is
within him is bent on working IN
the Zionist movement HIS
real is intense and his fire is an
;usniratiOn to those who work
with him Harry definitely is
not Of the "maucher" category -.
and his interest in the American
Jewish Conference is that OF a
man who feels keenly the destiny

AS often as you write letters
to Camp and the boys overseas
seems to be not often enough.
The best practice is to write re-
gularly, each week, or several
times a week. We are told that
the men in Service can not pos
sibly get too many of these
messages from home.
Write cheerful letters always.
The news of what's doing about
town, familiar places, people we
all know, bridge distances and
make exile easier to take. If
you hear a good joke, or find a
funny cartoon in the newspa-
pers, or read an interesting ar
ticle, save them to send as clip
ings in with your letters.
One of our recent inductees
wrote a letter about Camp life
to his mother, the other day.
Among other things he said:
Dear Nom: There are some
fellows here who would rather
get a letter than eat. You know
how much 1 love to eat. Well,
I'm one Of the boys who would
rather get a letter. How's that
for appreciation?
When you take snapshots OF
your family and friends remem-
Der to have extra prints made to
help chase away the blues for
some soldier or sailor or marine.
The best kinds of pictures are
the informal ones, action snaps
taken indoors or out, candid
pictures, (amateur photogra-
pliers take noteO
An army chaplain recently
said that one of the frequent
happenings in Camp, when
things get a bit thick, and
inconsistencies strikes deep, is
to see a soldier take out his
snapshots from home, spread
them out before him, and study
them as if they were the finest
masterpieces. Presently the ten
sion on the lads face relaxes,
he smiles and throws back his
! shoulders, he gets up and goes
on, refreshed and strengthened
i'm the solid knowledge of faith
and love for him safe in his
heart.
Write often. Would you like
some hints on how to write good
and interesting letters? The IL
brary has many books about
all kinds of them. Stop in at
YOUR nearest Branch and take
one home with you for the next
time you write to that fine
young man.

Well, it seems l anne forced
to write and defend myself since
other people are making false
statements about me and the
other reporters. To begin with
the reports I give are the truth
about the people I write about
and 1 don't spread any false
propaganda as the Bees Wax
accuses me. And that matter
about who the 3J's are, if you
read correctly you will have
noticed that I didn't make a
definite statement about who
they are or were. 1t seems that
Bees Wax can't read correctly.
I don't see why they are max
ing such a fuss about exposing
who they were since I just re-
turned the favor you did for
me. I suppose the Bees Wax
doesn't know that amateurs
are not to compete with pro-
fessionals and since that is what
we are, I guess it is useless to
try to write against profession
ais. Just why the new column
is defending the SIS is not at
all a mystery to me or to the
other readers. l hope they can
give you the actual facts of the
dances, and since we eXagger-
ate - according to BW - and
write imaginary things, they
might do much better than we
or | have done, SO go to it, boys.
First of all I might try to
change the subject. Pecon's, or
chestra always draws a large
crowd and everyone enjoys him
self. It seems that Frank Sui
len comes to Waterloo quite a
bit lately-could it be of a GER
tain girl, Frank? Saw Elsie Pr
nat and Frank Fonda dancing
cheek to cheek all through the
evening. l must thank you for
giving me the advice and |
think it was a good idea, Frank,
thanks. A girl all in green-it
couldn't be the Irish in you for
you haven't any, or do you,
Ruth. It seems Jack Hershall is
coming to our dances quite a
bit. Why is it, Jack? Frances
Maurich having her fill by dane
ing with Frank Sullen, and do
ing alright in trying to a little
.jitterbugging. l wonder where
Rich, Bob, Beatrice and Emily
went so early, for they were
seen only a short time at the
dance and then disappeared.
Matt Zabukovic and Fritz Hri-
bar occupying the time of a GER

SEX are very cool-Why is it, |
wonder? Mary, we really dance
those polkas, but how could we
help it if We bumped into so
many people? frankie Tanko
and boyfriends still not dancing
any of those polkas, and Fran
kie, what about Bee? Don't tell
me you have forgotten already?
