stantially help the immediate abb
sorption of 250,000 immigrants to

ers.
Additional funds will have to
be found besides those which pri-
vate philanthropy can provide, he
said, and urged that the U. S.
Government and Congress give
consideration to three poSsibili-
ties:
l. Inclusion of Israel in the
American program of economic
aid to the Middle East, "in which
Israel is the most dynamic fac
tor; 2. American influence upon
the IRO, to which the U. S. is
the largest contributor-to allo-

Jerusalem (ArizOna POst-
Chain WeiZmann, whose name is
synonymous with ZiOnism, was
today (Thurs.) elected president
of the new Jewish state of Israel
by the cOuntry's constituent as
sembly.
Thus eliminates Weizmann's
lifelong devotion to the cause
which he dreamed of as a youth
and saw realized at his present
age, IA.
Jerusalem (JTA) = Friendship
to all peace-loving nations was
offered this week by Israeli Pres
ident Chain Weizmann in open
ing the Israeli Constituent As
sembly, the first parliament elect
ed by Israel since it's establish
ment as an independent nation. A
holiday spirit prevailed.
DR.. Weizmann told the as
sembled 100 members of the par
lament, and the hundreds of
guests who were invited to at
tend the historic event, that the
aim of the Jewish state will be,
before everything else, "to gath
er in the exiles from all parts of
the world" He emphasized that
this was a great day not only in
the lives of the Jewish people but
also in the history of the world.
Premier David Ben Gurion de-
,clared to them that the final de-
ciSi6n on JerusalemS future will
not be made by the UN or its
Palestine Cancellation Commis-
sion, but by the Jews. Scoring
the Commission which, he said,
had been sent to Palestine with
out any instructions except in the
matter of Jerusalem, Ben Gurion
insisted that the decision on Jeru-
salem was made during the CEN
turies by the Jews who main
tanned Jerusalem as their capital
despite efforts of the Babylanians,
the Greeks and the Romans to
wipe it out.

hope and that of Joseph Brindis,

sum towards the 100000 goal
would be raised through these

perative if the goal was to be
reached.
This drive combines into one
the needs of many agencies such
as the Joint Distribution Com
mittee (aid in Europe), United
Palestine Appeal (Israeli add and
United Service to New Americans
(helps new arrivals); about 40
national health, welfare and civic

Those people who missed the Simeon Oliver lecture and concert at the Methodist Church last Fri day, really passed up superb enter tainment.
 MT. Oliver, while talking chiefly to the children, proved most inter- esting, entertaining, and the ease and charm of his manner won him many friends.
 Music presented by the choir was particularly pleasing. Unlike many small town choirs, the voices were well blended, with sweet and delicate balance, the selections ap- parently having been made with a definite consideration of the combined ability of the singers.
 Good training and perfect con- trOl of an able director was very evident We hope that Miss Calnan and the choir will give us more good music throughout the year.
 Woe is me. The Cradle Rocker has offended the Old Timers. There is some objection to last weeks observation that 1 would don my Hong johns and prepare to battle the snow for the next six months. The long johns, of course, were figurative, so far as I am con cerned, but I'm sure that if my work kept me out of doors all day I should be glad to have them.
 As for six months of snow, l checked up on last winter and dis covered that snow fell in Novem- Der and there was still snow in April-Which makes six months.
 It is not our intention or wish to discourage any prospective Vlsl- tors to Seward, because we know that on the whole we have finer weather than many of the states in the Pacific Northwest, but surely it is better to have people arrive prepared for some disagreeable weather, than to delude them with the idea it is perfect and have them unhappy. and saying they have been misinformed.
 As for temperature, it must be common knowledge that we sell dom have below zero. while in Ore gon, Washington, Northern Califor- mia and the Midwest. the ther- mometer has registered 20 degrees and less already this fall, while in Seward it still has not fallen below 34 degrees.
 We can argue this weather busi- ness until Kingdom Come and never be able to do anything about it. Whether We should proclaim abroad the unpleasant as we'll as the pleasant seems to. be a matter of opinion. As for me, winter is winter. wherever you find it, and I don't like to be cold here any better than I did anywhere else. but I'm certainly not going to let it spoil my happy life.
