n Mission to
Memphis
By HERBERT SOHN

During the week OF June 81
the annual Southern Convention
of Young Judaea was held for
the first time since the beginning
of the war. Four Young Judaeans
were sent to Memphis, the con-
vention city, to represent jack
sonville. Martha Moscovitch, Mil
dred Edwards and Helen Witten
and myself made up the delega-
ton. 1 am positive that the con-
vention has made as much an
impression on the other delegates
as it did upon me.
Our host and hostess in Mem
phis were the most attentive I
have ever known, and nothing
to make us happy and more COM
Portable was overlooked. Mrs.
Harry Wiener, the Senior Advisor
of the Young Judaea Clubs in
Memphis, was most cooperative.
Her unlimited source of knoWl-
edge of Young Judaea and it's
function was always open to me.
l told her of my intentions and
desires for Young Judaea in
Jacksonville, and I was promised
her full support. That is the way
it began and continued through
out the convention, even to help
ing bring the next convention to
Jacksonville.
Mrs. Leo. Burson, the head of
the Youth Commission in Mem
phis, like Mrs. Wiener was every
where at once. Her understand
ing and support will always cause
me to remember her in my mind
and in my heart.
Rabbi Alderman, the orthodox
spiritual leader in Memphis and
member of the Youth Commits
sion, was very helpful with his
knowledge of the educational and
cultural aspects of the Young
Judaea program, and on his in
struction on how to further such
program.
The convention, besides being
four days filled to the brim with
sports, dances and parties, was
an enlightening and educational
excursion for all the Young
Judaeans. The Palestinian sing
ing and dancing, the lengthy yet
interesting discussions and adj
dresses on Young Judaea sent
every delegate home with his
heart and mind filled with new
ideas and goals for their respect
i've cities and clubs.
Service men and women and
civilians who had long outgrown
Young Judaea age attended the
convention from all parts of the
country. To see how serious they
were at the business sessions, how
they enjoyed the singing and
dancing of Hebrew and folk tunes,
was enough to make one eager
to do the same. By attending
one understands why people
travel far distances to attend
convention of this kind.
The inspiration we obtained at
this convention is our reason for
desiring to bring the next con-
vention to Jacksonville. We feel
that the power of Young Judaea
in Jacksonville is the strongest
and the largest in the South. Our
Youth Commission is composed
of some of the best leaders in
the South. We know that all that
is needed to ignite the fuse of
action which will turn this po-
tential strength into actual work
for the cause of Young Judaea
and Zion is a repetition in Jack
Sonville of the past convention
in Memphis. We also know that

Cancer Is Our Problem

We are all of us concerned in the control of cancer. Cancer strikes indiscriminately at us and at those we love. 60O,00 of us in America are now afflicted with cancer. Out of every 8 of us, one will die of cancer. Cancer kills 60% more of Us than all the infectious diseases com bined! If we get at cancer early about 60,O00 more people can live each year.
 We must all of us learn what to do. We must consult the doctor at once, if any of the following symptoms are present: 1. A sore that does not heal,
 particularly about the tongue,
 mouth or lips. 2. A painless lump or thicken-
 ing, especially in the breast,
 lip or tongue. 3. Irregular bleeding or dis
 charge from any natural
 body opening or nipple. {. Progressive change in the
 color or size of a wart, mole
 or birthmark. 5. Persistent indigestion. 6. Persistent hoarseness, unex-
 plained cough, or difficulty
 in swallowing. '. Any change in normal bowel
 habits. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

Tougaloo College Presents
joyce Renee In Recital
Here February 18th
Celebrated Concert And
Radio Violinist
To Perform Here

Joyce Renee, internationally ia
nous violinist, will present pro-
gram of classical and sen1i-classi-
cal music, in the college church OF
Tougaloo College, Friday night
February Is, at BIS pm. The price
of admission will be 55c for adults
and Csc for students
Miss Renee's present internation-
al acclaim rests upon the firm ba-
sis of thorough and extensive train
ing and long and successful expert
ence on the concert stage. Being an
unusually gifted child, Miss Re-
nee graduated from the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music with the
Bachelor of Musis degree and the
highest honor dipolma in violin at
seventeen.
Since that time, she has been the
holder of numerous national and
international fellowships, includ-
ing the Juilliard graduate school,
the Schmidlapp, Fleischmann, and
Wolly International scholarships.
In addition, she studied in Paris
with he noted composer conductor
Georges Enesco.
Miss Renee appeared extensively
in concert and as soloist with spm-
phony orchestras here and in
Europe. She is a familiar figure in
broadcasting studios, having play
ed frequently over the National
Broadcasting Co., Columbia Broad
casting System, and Mutual net
works; and she has already become
a pioneer in television.
Georges Enesco, musician and
critic, said of her playing, Her
art is of the highest order, and her
knowledge of the instrument per-
feet. She has personality and great
fire" And the Cincinnati Enquirer
adds, 1T has yerve, ease, and a
hythmic aplomb, that seemed to
mark her as one of those rare
souls to whom music becomes a
passion-and which makes for
musical, artistic, and personal sue
cess upon the artists rostrum."
Tougaloo college considers itself
indeed fortunate to present this ar
fist for the enjoyment of music low
ers of this community.
