ceased members who are scheduled

Presidents, be sure that your Death
Certificate is in the office of the
H. B. A. if you expect payment on
deceased member of your lodge in
the March Board.
We have some presidents who are
a bit negligent when it comes to hay
ing the Death Certificate filled out
and mailed to the office within the
prescribed time 8 days after the
death of the member. Presidents,
please do not wait two, three and
four weeks to get these Death Ger

Presidents Responding
Nicely in Resolution
Campaign

Recently wrote each president OF
the Association a personal letter sol
letting their support in a NeW-Mem-
ber-One Yearly Subscription Reso-
luton Campaign. I am happy to state
that the response given me as Of now
is gratifying.
Some of the loyal presidents have
already reached the goal and quite
a few others have gone the halfway
mark. 1 have had telephone calls
and letters from quite number OF
the presidents telling me to look to
hear from them at an early date.
It is so inspiring to know that
there are those whom you can de.
pend on in helping to put over a
program. Experience has taught me
that regardless of how sincere you
might be in your efforts to do good,
there are going to be some who
might not agree with you in toto
and yet, you cannot afford to be-
come discouraged you have

second and third, and in some cases
the fourth time, but we certainly
are watching you and when we Itch
your hand, we are going back and

These applications are supposed to
come through the local lodge and
whenever a president sends in an
applicant too old or whose health
will not warrant his becoming a
member Of the Association, hose
members are as much to blame as
that local president.

we are keeping our eyes wide open.
Please don't think we are asleep and
that you are putting something over

Dafni, Consul OF Israel, Greets
Phoenix Jeury On Rosh Hashona

The year 57O9 has come to a
close. 1t was great year for the
Jewish people for it saw the twin
miracles of Israel's conclusive and
resounding military victories over
her aggressors, and of the young
states political, economic and So
cial development-which so far ex-
ceeded even the brightest promise
of her first months. Most spec
tacular of all, 5709 was the year
of fulfillment for hundreds and
thousands of our displaced breth-
rem who found their right place,
at last, within the Jewish State.
There are thousands more to come
in 5710. The great "ingathering
of exiles" must continue until
every Jew who seeks to live in the
Jewish homeland has been brought
there and successfully integrated
into it's life and economy. This
sacred trust cannot be made the
responsibility alone of the one mil
lion hard pressed, hard worked
men and women of Israel. 1t must
be borne, in equal measure at
least, by the great Jewish COM
munity of the United States
which has responded before to the
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1949-09-23

and experience far beyond his
years. Our people in Israel more
firmly entrenched and an Israeli
economy in full swing. Our home
less wanderers settled in the land
of their choice and peace and
contentment prevailing throughout
the land.
Phoenix Communal Life
Yes-it is with pride, on this
New Year, that we look back on
our accomplishments and with an
ticipation that we look forward to
the coming year-yet, with it all,
there remains much to be done IN
the life of our community-much
that can make for richer COM
munal life.
Let's strive toward that goal
let's drive with that aim in mind
let's push forward, ever forward,
so that as the years roll on, they
will find the Phoenix Jewish Com
munity growing and prospering.

AS our Holy Days approach, we
once again stand on the brink of
the New Year-glancing back over
the past-looking forward to the
future.
Our backward glances reveal
progress in our Communal Life!
We see a small house converted
into Community Center-a Cen
ter, inadequate for our needs, but
a beginning in the right direction.
We see youth engrossed in serious
talk and in play, in athletics and
in dramatics using the facilities of

nifty Council.

call-and must respond again
until the need has passed.
Israel Looking Ahead
5709 was the year of proud
beginning. 5710 must be the year
of a still prouder continuation.
What was started twelve months
ago must not be halted in the
months to come-and Israel looks
to the Jews of the free world
across the seas for understanding
and cooperation. There is no OBJ
stacle that cannot be surmounted

We see congregations growing in

children eager and anxious to abb

their forefathers. We see active,
live participation in Community
activities. We see the spirit and
bravery of Israel reflected in our

our heads erect and our shoulders
thrown back because of that which
our brethren have done in the
land of our ancestors, in the land
of Eretz Yisroel!
