Four hundred Jewish families
had lived in Knyshin, and Hitler
came, and now there are none!
Not one Jew lives in Knyshin to-
day! But there are survivors, yes,
forty of them now. They are scat
tered in DIP camps in Germany, in
Italy, Mexico, even a few in
Bialystock, where life is least GER
tain of all. There had been twenty
known to Hirschel's relief organ
ization, but recently twenty more
had come out of Russia, and join
ed the others. All these were be-
ing kept alive, and with a spark
of hope through this cousins or
ganizational activities. The call
was to apprize my husband that
funds in the treasury were low.
Hillel took the occasion to tell his
cousin of the promise he had
made to his mother, Hirschels
aunt, and of the Sefer Torah he
was going to see with Mr.. Lazar.
"A Sefer Torah," said Hirschel,
"why we have one!" And he told
the tale of how a Sefer Torah that
had been rescused from their
home town of Knyshin had been
brought to New York by a refugee
landSman, who had had the good
fortune to leave a DIP camp in
Germany, and had passed through
New York on his way to Mexico.
1t seems that Knyshin Jew
had emerged from hiding, and
had gone back to Knyshin in
search of home and kin; had
found only desolation and desc
Grafton, but had somehow learn
ed that a Sefer Torah was being
held by a gentle in the town. He

AS against two or three hundred
dollars in previous years, this one
would have to cost six hundred.
My husband promised to go with
him to see the Sefer Torah.
It was just then that my hus-
bands counsin Hirschel called
him. Hillel and Hirschel had
grown up together, both families
living in the house of the grand
father, so as to ensure a means
of subsistence. Hirschel is now too
i'll to work, but being socially
minded he busies himself in the
conduct of a landsmanschaft. It
started as a social club where the
landsleit could meet each other
and reminisce, and assuage the
nostalgia for their youth in the
Polish town of Knyshin. But to-
day they are relief organization

THERE WAS a surprisingly good turnout. at our last meeting, nSplte oftthe terrific storm.
 Parker Lester showed some very good movies of dairy opera tons. He also showed us some literature he had received from a tire manufacturing company, de- scrlblng a rubberized cover for slIage, to be put on after filling the sllo. It keeps the silage from spelling, and it seemed to be a very practical item. MT. Lester thought also it might be used to keep Silage from freezing.
 
 WE DECIDED, at this meeting, to postpone election of officers until next month, because our secretary vas not present. Gle was snow bound).
 However we heard our treas urer's report, from which we found our organization was: in. 2OOo shape, 1lnanclaIly.
 $--#-.- THERE WAS some discussion of the effects of artificial lighting during the dark winter months. MT. Sweetman stated that there was marked increase in the conceivability of cows in herds where lights were used as direct ed. One member was certain he also got better production when lights were usd. I am inclined to agree with him. Besides these two benefits from use of lights, l am sure it helps in sustaining the health of the growing calves. So, it seems to me, we cannot go wrong by leaving the lights on from the time we get to the farm in the morning until our chores are completed at night Gin my case, that means 14 hours). Start with the lights in the first part of November and continue using them through January.
