THERE is NO SUBSTITUTE
FOR WORK

AhEN6 Ao nv cQbc Al y "a
FOR WORK
In the years since the big world
war began, we have re-learned
one important lesson %. the secret
that made this country great in
the past and that gave the world
a new goal Of prosperity and free
dom at which TO aim. This lesson
is there Is no substitute for hard
work.
A wise man once said that 90
percent Of what men call genius
is only q talent for hard work.
And he was pretty near right. The
great discoveries, the great inven-
tions, the great deeds we acclaim
were done by men with an infinite
capacity for taking pains, by men
who were not easily discouraged,
who went right on working even
when they didn't want to keep at
it, who just wouldn't give up as
long az here was something to be
done.
There isn't any other way
TO succeed. Success must have
firm foundation il it is to be
permanent and that firm foudation
takes energy and labor and cour-
age to build.
During our prosperous years,
we sought too much for short cuts
to what we wanted. We let our
wishess govern our actions. We
hunted madiy an Aladdin's lamp
which we could simply rub to
make our widest dreams como
true. We indulged in snap cours-
es. LEARN without effort" "Re-
duce without exercise or diet
ing" Easy jobs at good pay"
were our slogans. We didn't want
to give up to succeed :. but sue
cess comes only through self-sac-
rifies, not bysacr ificing others.

CONTEMPORARY
HISTORY

The story of the Jewish DPS
in Germany from the day of their
liberation by the Allied armies
till the liquidation of their camps,
because of their emigration to
Israel and other countries, is fully
told by Leo w. Schwartz in 'The
Redeemers" The book-pub-
lished by Farrar, Straus and
Young, Inc.-gives an intimate
picture of how these survivors of
Nazi determination have started
life anew 1t relates in great
detail how they re-established
their life in the DIP camps in the
spirit of pre-war Jewish commu-
nal traditions 1t throws light
on the relations between them
and the Germans It brings
out picture showing the attitude
of the American military authori-
ties in Germany toward them . +.
1t reveals how the movement of
illegal immigrants" to Palestine
was organized among the Jewish
DPS in Germany It testifies
to the great aid given to the DPS
by American Jewry through the
JDC, ORT and OSE And it
emphasizes the courage and the
dignity with which the Jewish
DPS managed their communal
affairs in the refuge camps for
seven years, until the camps were
emptied At present there is
still one Jewish DIP camp func-
tioning in Germany-the Foeh-
renwald Camp-a remnant of
those seven years =. 'The Re-
deemers" is a book of contempt
rary Jewish history which will be
exploited by future historians :.
1t is the only "eye witness" story
of the day-to-day life of the Jew
ish DPS written by an American
Jewish writer who himself par
ticipated in this life as a repre-
sentative of the JDC The
facts related in this volume are
written from the perspective of
a person who, although himself
not DIP, had a very deep under
standing of the mentality of the
liberated Jews and their deter
mination to reassert themselves
as free men The author, a
writer of repute, tells the stirring
story of the DPS not like a his
torian, but like a novelist who
presents actual facts, describes
actual situations, and names peo-
pie who are actually alive &.
This makes the book as easy read
ing as the Bible =.

Working from the Atlanta Of
flee at COL Peters Building, Mr..
PERKS tours and field work will
be co-ordinated by Herman Pop
kin, Director of the Southern
Zionist Youth Commission under
whose auspices the Israeli will
travel during the next several
months.
A fourth generation Sabra
(native-born IsraelD, Mr.. Peri has
been a member, leader and Scout
Master of the Tsofim Israeli
Scouts in Jerusalem, his birth
place. He has worked as National
Scouting Advisor of the Tsofim,
as member of the Youth De-
partment of the Jewish Agency,

The traditional symposium held
at all Zionist conventions, will
take place on Sunday, October 18
at the Hotel Peabody, Memphis,
Tennessee. This year, the theme
entitled "The ZOA: It's Work In
Israel and America" will be ably
dealt with by three of the lead
ing Zionists in the Southeastern
Region. The first of the partici-
pants, is Mortimer May, who will
speak on "The Ultimate Aims and
Goals of the Zionist Movement"
A past President of the Region,
and veteran Zionist, Mr. May has
been in the forefront of spokes-
men for American Zionism. His
many trips to the Holy Land and
to numerous other foreign Jew
ish communities, have given him
a profound understanding of the
Zionist philosophy and its appli-
cation.
The second speaker is Seymour
B. Lehman, whose constant eff
forts on behalf of Zionism have
earned him his Well-deserved
popularity. Southern ZionisEs
have recognized his ability and
work by electing' him Board
Chairman of the Miami Beach
District and Vice President of the
Southeastern Region.
Three trips to Israel have given
him more than a reading ac-
quaintance with Israel and Zion
ism. AS result, audiences
throughout the Region, have ac-
claimed him for his penetrating
insight into the realities and prac-
teal aspects of Israel and its rela-
tons with world Jewry. Mr..
Lehman is a practicing attorney
in Miami Beach, whose eighteen
year-old son has recently return
ed from studies at the Herzlia
Gymnasium in Tel Aviv. Mr..
Liebman's part of the symposium
will deal with "The ZOA and It's
Work in America"
The third speaker will be Harry
Jaffe of Birmingham, Ala. Re-
Gently returned from a prolonged
stay in Israel, Mr.. Jaffe is emil
nently suited for the topic upon
which he will speak: "The ZOA
and Israel" While there, he
travelled the land from Dan to
Elath, carefully observing Israel
in all it's aspects. He even found
time to do a little missionary
work with a visiting group of
anti Zionists.

Farmers Should
Cite Labor Need
Ahead of Time

Farmers In Maryland can help
to avoid labor problems by plan
ming ahead for their labor needs
and letting their local State En-
ployment Service Office know a.
early as possible how many
workers they win need and for
what period. This Is the sugges-
ton Of A. B. Hamilton. farm
management specialist for the
University Of Maryland Exten-
sion Service, who also cites good
housing, continuous employment
and other conditions as impor-
tant factors in attracting good
farm labor. Willingness on the
part Of farmers to employ and
train inexperienced workers will
also ease recruitment problems,
Mr.. Hamilton adds.
Must Register.
Prospective farm workers can
help, too, Mr.. Hamilton empha-
sizes, by registering with State
Employment Service Offices and
being specific about the periods
during which they expect to be
available for employment. Work
erS should keep in constant
touch with employment service
Offices for guidance In finding
work and locating areas where
help is needed.
The number of farm workers
in the United States has declined
by nearly two million in the past
decade and a half. according to
the Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics. United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Despite this
fact. total farm output in 1852
was A per cent above the 1885,
1889 average. Hamilton accredits
this achievement to increased

erationS and q widespread adop-
ton Of better farm practices
leading to higher crop and live-
stock yields with fewer man
hours Of work.

ers away from the farm can bo

there is a general high level Of
employment, Mr.. Hamilton pre-
diets.
This will mean some difficult
farm labor problems and posi-
bly, further long-range adjust
ments in farming operations in
some areas. A sharp accelera-
ton Of the trend, he adds. could
seriously affect efforts to meet
a continued need for high-level
agricultural production.
Almost one million farm work.
ers have gone into industry or
the military service in the past
three years. To partially Offset
this and to meet the demand for
farm labor this year, the De-
partment Of Labor through its

out farm labor recruitment and
placement programs in areas
affected by farm labor shortages.
