Long before the luncheon hour
women were gathered in the lob
by of the Santa Rita, March 18,
for the Hadassah Donor Luncheon
and to hear Baron Hans de Meiss-
Teuffen of Switzerland speak.
Mrs. Joseph Bank of Phoenix,
regional president, recalled that
it was not SO many years ago when
Donor Luncheon here meant the
gathering of a group of women
not larger than the extreme outer
group of tables.
The Baron, tall, striking, talked
with evident sincerity about his
experience in the Holy Land and
how he summed up the situation,
based on his six visits there, the
last one made in 1947.
Arabs have a diSdain for west
erners because eve (the Arabs)
are stronger, you are weaker. We
have lost respect for you!" People
forget, he continued, that these
fascist feelings are not only
against the Jews, but everyone
not Moslem.
Britain quarters $4,000 troops
just over the border in Trans
Jordan with a 25-year program
ahead. He contended "The great
enemy of the Yishuv is not the
Arabs but Great Britain"
He illustrated the ingenuity of
the settlers with their so-called
crazy ideas" and their industry
which has literally transformed
the land. No wonder the fuedal
lords of the Arab states want the
Jews eradicated. Their standards
have raised the living standards
of the Arabs in the country so that
the Arabs on the outside make
demands" on the feudal lords.
The Arabs of Palestine are not
fighting, he asserted.
He believes that the influence
of oil is being over-rated. He
asked, do you think you'd get
oil there, if war broke out?
doubt it." He suggested letters to
Mrs. Roosevelt during the next
few weeks prior to her departure
for England saying she would be
very helpful there. She and Goldie
Myerson had dinner together
while the latter was here in
America.

Carolina May
Be Cotton Bowl
Choice By S.M.U.

Dallas, Nov. 24-(AP)- The
much-delayed announcement Of
what team will oppose Southern
Methodist in the Cooton Bowl
may be forthcoming today. But
don't ask Dan Rogers, head Of
the selection committee, what
time.
Rogers had expected to make
the announcement yesterday but
couldn't do so because the team
sought wasn't ready to accept the
bid. Rogers did say, however,
that his committee was making
satisfactory progress with the No
choice voted by the Southern
Methodist squad Monday.
Neither Cotton Bowl officials
nor Southern Methodist would di-
vulge the result of the poll Of
players but it was said unoffici-
ally that the choice was unde-
feated North Carolina.
Earlier contacts with coaches
of teams that were expected to
be in the running revealed that
all were reluctant to discuss bowl
bids until they had completed the
schedules. Approval of accept
ance by the faculty athletic COM
mittee and board of regents also
could be delaying actions.

;0ober Bowl Game at Enfield Heads the Thanksgiving Gnon Slate

ates the two schools, they have
not met on the football field for
the past two years since they
could not get together on sche-
dulles. The game tomorrow is not
reputed to be a real "grudge"
game, however feeling has been
running high in the two opposing
towns.
Emf e d sponsoring officials
have chosen the term "goober"
to christen their "bowl game"
because over a period of years
the peanut has been dubbed a
goober by showmen, with whom
peanuts are a necessity and a
lucrative source of revenue. The
name was felt to be appropriate
because Enfield is not only To-
Gated in the heart of the Caro-
lima peanut belt, but it also has
the reputation of being t h e
worlds largest peanut market
buying directly from the farmer.
There will be added color in
the holiday game because it will

standing, one with a record wor-
thy Of protecting and the. other
determined to mar it decisively.

any competitive action since Nov
'ember IL, due to the fact that
both Weldon and Roanoke Rap
ids had scheduled games cancel
led last Friday on account of
heavy rains. This week the wea-
ther has continued to be wet,
making it impossible for either
squad to do any outside work
in preparation for the Thanks
giving holiday annual battle.
On the basis of past perfor-
mances against strong competi-
ton the Jackets will still be fav-
ored to defeat nearby Weldon
when they meet here Friday
night at eight o'clock. The Jack
cts have a record of three vic
tories against fave losses for the
season. However they broke
even in Northeastern Conference
games with strong opponents.
Coach Jesse Parker said this
week he is hoping his smaller
team will show up well against
the Jacket charges of Coach Dan
eagle. Parker said he would
not predict an upset victory for
his team, but he said the Weldon
boys are determined to make a
fioht of if all the wav.
Weaher prospects for the re-
mainder of the week are for con-
tinued wet days, and the two
squads will probably meet on a
muddy field here Friday night
if the skies clear between now
and the time for the ball game.

Jdckefs- Weldon Football Come Is
Postponed Until Friday Due TO Weather

The scheduled pre-Thanksgiv-
ing football game between the
Roanoke Rapids Yellow Jackets
and Weldon High School, which
was to have been played at Sim
mons Park here tonight, this
morning was postponed until Fri
day night because of the weather
conditions which had made the
field sea of mud.
Announcement of the postpone
ment was made abut $50 this
morning by Joe W. Talley, princi-
pal of the Roanoke Rapids High
School, who said he had Just con-
ferred with Weldon school offici-
ais.
He said the decision to post
pone the game until Friday night
was made in view of the fact
that school men felt playing a
football game in the wet, cold
weather would prove detrimental
to the health of the ball players
and the handful of faithful root
ers who could be expected to be
on hand to cheer the rivals what
ever the weather.
Talley explained that the game
had been originally scheduled
prior to the beginning of the
football season to be played on
Friday night after Thanksgiving,
but said the date had later been
changed in order to keep from
breaking into the schools
Thanksgiving holidays.
All this week both teams have
been carrying out light indoor
drills in preparation for the ball
game. Neither team has seen
