His training at the San Diego and Ocean
Side Marine bases, was highlighted by his
selection on three successive occasions, as
the neatest and most earnest marine in his
division, by the Governor of California.
In January of 49, his training completed,
he was shipped to the Southwest Pacific,
which at that present stage of the war, found
the American Armies still on the defensive.
Jimmy was one of the First Syrian Leba-
nese Heroes to be plunged into the throes of
a horrid war, from the revered peacefulness
of the states.
Serving in a Tank Division, on a South
Pacific Island, he did his share and more,
towards the humiliation of our fanatic enc
mics. NJ
On March Is, in the year 1913, while COM
handing a tank into battle, James litter
Backus, fell MORALLY wounded. The first of
many heroes of Arabic descent to suffer this
fatal cataclysm of death.
His heroism and valor, this supreme sacri-
flee he paid for our liberation, set a prece-
dant, for those who remembered his deeds
and his misfortune as a symbol, a light glow
ing upon the price we would have to forfeit
in the conquering of those who sought to
deprive us of our democratic pleasures.

AMvETs DANCE
BY Gloria Shehab

On Easter Sunday April 81, the American
Syrian Lebanese Post Number 3 had a dance
at Labor Temple, which proved very success
full. It is the first dance they have given since
they nave been organized.
The orchestra was really tops. George
Kavanaugh and his orchestra supplied us
with splendid music. His singer, Gloria
Goode also provided merry entertainment.
The arrangements consisted of slow dreamy
pieces, waltzes, and some 1--WE. All in all, the
orchestra was wonderful.
The number Of people that turned out was
amazing. They amounted to about six hun
dred. From the comments | heard I gathered
that everyone had a swell time.
Sam Haddad was the chairman of the
dance. Sam and his committee worked hard
to make the dance a success. Their work
was not in vain.
If there are any veterans of Syrian Leba-
nese extraction that wish to join the Post
Just get in touch with George Naff. You can
call him at Townsend 5-8164.

PROPOSED MERGER OF AMvET
POSTS 8 AND la

Does it surprise you that the young Arabic
speaking veterans of World War 2 have
formed not one-but two posts? Did it ever
enter your minds to question or wonder why
these young folks have again brought to light
the outstanding fact that the Arabic speaking
people cannot settle their petty, insignificant
differences and form a strong union amongst
themselves even in a democratic nation UGH
as ours?
Must these ~prejudices that nave kept us an
obscure nation for generations again be our
downfall? Must we continuously be so blind
as not to realize that in union there is
strength-particularly when this union is
between people of one race, whose heritage,
cultural background, and customs are n
What is this disparaging difference that has
forced our boys and girls to form two separate
posts-two posts which have ultimately the
same goals, the same constitution, the same
ideals, and finally the same spirit of vitality
which has always characterized our Arabic
speaking youth?
Believe it or not the main argument is over
the NAME and POST NUMBER. the merging
of these two posts has been held up
because these veterans cannot decide whether
the name should be "The American Syrian
Lebanese Post" or 'The American Lebanese-
Syrian POST. The other w1eighty decision is
whether the Post number shall be 3 or -! |!
Well, folks, that's it. These are the problems
that have forced our veterans who fought
together as one solid unit but a few short
months ago and who came back to civilian life
only to discard the basic principle of team
work, and form two distinct, separate posts.
How about it Vets-let's forget these small,
trifling controversies and vote for one body
one strongly knit unit of Arabic speaking
youth. Let's prove to ourselves, at least, that
we can UNITE, that these insignificant, incon-
sequential, and irrelevant differences S h
not again divide us.

Om-Kal-Toom

Om-Kal-Toom, one of Egypt's grea,
test singers, has another person of Arabic
heritage who has been titled as such. The
Om-Kal-Toom of which | speak is none
other than Najibi Mourad, who halls from
the City of Boston.
Many have sung here praises throu-
ghout the West, and after witness
Many have. sung. her. praises throu-
last Sunday night, | am of the assurance
one would have far to go to match this
stirring performance by the alluring Miss
Mourad.
The concert was under the auspices of
the Egyptian Melodies Radio Hour, per,
sonally directed by Paul McKanna. The
M, c. chores were capably filled by Bill
Bashara.
Music was furnished in a style becoming
any Syrian-Lebanese artist of great magni-
|tude, and ~incidently they were brought
from New York especially for this concert.
Detroit's own Margaret Hakim, gave an
exotic demonstration Of two different
styles of Arabic dancing. 1t was a classy
performance, though, a wee bit on the
voluptuous side, or should l say sensuous?
In short, magnificent, satisfying and pro,
we'd to the entertainment and pleasure of
all present.
It was the third engagement here in the
Motor City for Miss Mourad, who has
been INDUCING in the professional art of
vocalism for the past sixteen years.
Her father, Nakley Mourad serves as
her Manager and Tutor, and is the one
responsible for producing the. extremes
from this talented lady.
The praise or saIutation one might ac-
cord in such an instance to Miss Mourad,
would be .belittled, by those present at the
concert who witnessed the response and
reaction given her rendition of a Mu>wail-
ataba Can Arabic love song)

Address by US. Senator Brewster
DELIVERED IN NEW YORK, OCT. 10 AT THE
LITHUANIAN NATIONAL RELIEF FUND DINNER

Thank you, Father Balkunas. -
1t has been a pleasure to be the
guest of the United Lithuanian Re-
lief Fund of America, and to add
my voice to that of the million
Americans of Lithuanian decent or
all who seek to help those poor
people who fled from the approach
Of Communistic terrorism in Lith-
uania.
Over 100000 Lithuanian refugees
were compelled to leave their farms
and their life savings and were
forcibly taken to Nazi slave labor
camps. Others ran for their lives
in the hope of contracting the Ameri-
can armies in Western Europe so
they might seek safety and pro-
lection from persecution. These, all
Of these, many thousands of dis
placed persons have lived under
difficult circumstances. They have
been unjustly branded as nazis -
they have been subjected to unwar-
ranted searches and Seizure of their
belongings, they have not been per-
mitted to write to their relatives in
this country in the Lithuanian Ian
guage.
When I return to Washington to
sit in the Senate of the United
States, l shall use the influence of
my office to correct the wrongs
that have been committed against
these helpless people of Lithuania.
1t is my considered judgment that
they are God-fearing people, who
believe in representative govern
ment. Ruthless screenings, conduct
ed in Russian or German which they
cannot understand, will most certain
ly lead to many unfair and unjust
decisions and should therefore be
discontinued.

posed Foster and the Democratic

up award. A big hand was given
Joe Prankas for his great work
in organizing the league and keep
ing it going despite the many prob
lens that were encountered.
The attendance was very salts
factory and everyone had a grand
time without being showed around
by an extremely large crowd. -
Perhaps this was due to the fact
that some of the folks were out
playing Halloween pranks, Ell?
During one of the intermissions
the dancers refreshed themselves
with the compliments of Gus Las
mix.
The vets were all sporting their
natty military caps with the post
insignia prominently displayed.
All in all, everyone had grand
time.
