Blood Donors for

An urgent call for blood donors

Dovid of Palestine to the Jews of
America. Answering the call for
Jacksonville I. Edelstein, active
member of the local Zionist move
ment, has made arrangements
with the Jacksonville Blood Bank
to accept donations of a pint of
blood in turn to be turned into
plasma to be shipped to Palestine.
The blood will be received at the
Jacksonville Blood Donors Bank at
|535 West Tenth Street where ex-
perts are in charge. ALL neces-
sary arrangements have been made
by Mr.. Edelstein.
The donor need only mention
the purpose of his donation. The
blood bank requests all donors to
desist from eating for four hours
prior to their visit to the blood
bank. One pint of blood let from
the human body will not hinder the
persons normal activity, it was
explained.
In response to Mr.. Edelstein's
plea, members of Jr. Hadassah and
Masada have pledged to become
blood donors. However, the need
for plasma which arises in PaleS-
tine due to the present military
emergency is great, and everyone
is urged to contribute their part.

Capital Spotlight

WASHINGTON

The Senate now has on it's cal
endar a bill to admit a maximum
of 100000 displaced persons dur
ing the next two years. This bill
replaces the one introduced in the
Senate in July of 1947 by Senator
Homer Ferguson (R) of Michigan.
The present measure was pre-
pared by Senator Chapman Rever-
comb (R) of West Virginia, who
headed a Senate Judiciary Sub
committee appointed to look into
the displaced persons and immi-
grafton questions, and report their
findings. Following regular legis-
lative procedure, the subcommit-
tee, with several postponements,
presented their report and bill,
to the full Judiciary Committee.
Several members of the subgroup
tried to introduce amendments to
increase the number of displaced
persons permitted entry. Senator
]. Howard McGrath CD of Rhode
Island, who is also chairman Of
the National Democratic Com
mittee, endeavored to up the figure
to 10000 a year. Senator John
Cooper (R). of Kentucky, who be-
came acquainted with displaced
persons at first-hand during the
war when he served in American
Military Government in Germany,
put in for $4,000 annually. Both
amendments were defeated in
committee.
Several question marks now
face the bill and it's future.
First is the technical but i'm
portant one of time. Under even
the most favorable circumstances,
April is likely to be here before
the bill is scheduled for discussion
in the Senate. The Republican
Policy Committee decides when
the bill comes up. Senator Taft,
as Republican leader, will have to
give the green light whether to go
ahead with the legislation.
Even at this early stage it is not
amlss to recall what happened to
the lady driver who was caught
IN a traffic jam and disregarded
the lights. A worn and weary
policeman draped himself on her
running board and explained the
rules in as elementary form as
possible, concluding, "Lady, that
night amt gonna get no greener."
A parliamentary device may
postpone consideration of the bill
wen into May. The work of the
NeVercomb subcommittee was two
1oid. Besides the report on dis
placed persons, they were also di-
rected to bring in a general pic
lure OF the immigration system.
On the grounds that more time
was needed to complete this sur
Vey, the Senate allowed the sub
committee until May 1. Then this
report must go to the full COM
"lttee before being submitted to
The Senate. In Republican circles
!" is not thought improbable that
the Majority Policy Committee.
may decide to hold up action on
the displaced persons bill until the
immigration report is in.

Fairfax High School
Pushes Living War
Memorial Project
Prize Contribution
By Borboro McKenno, IS
Foirfox (Vo.) High School

fQH1QE tN0J TiSH oSnOoi
The idea originated in the minds
of a few interested teachers and
civic minded members of the COM
munity. Soon other people heard OF
the idea, and then plan appro-
priately called the Fairfax High
School Living War Memorial" was
announced.
This plan calls for the establish
ment of an athletic field, including
permanent stadium with lights
for night games and swimming
pool. The money is being contrib
uted by friends of the school ir
memory of the students and alumni
who served in World War II.
So far, generous contributions
have made partial progress of the
plan possible; fence has beer
erected around the field and lights
have been put up. The Finance
Committee figures the entire setup
when completed, will pay for itself
in a few years through the returns
from athletic events. A good profit
was made on the two night football
games Fairfax played last season.
This Living War Memorial Il
going to do more than just establish
a monument to the gallant boys Of
Fairfax High. 1t is a boost to the
school spirit and is putting Fairfa,
on the map as an outstanding ex-
ample of progress in Virginia's
school program.

Spring Is Coming
Prize Contribution
Bv CoroIe Lund, 9

Shepherd School
I had a fine snow lady,
I named her Betty Lou.
Although she had no arms or legs,
She had hat of blue.
But now the friendly sun Is growing
stronger,
All the snow can stay no longer.
Birds come flying from the South
With notes of gladness in their
mouth.
Soon the flowers will nod
From their little bed,
To springtime breezes
Overhead.
