ROsh HashDnah MeSSaqe

Much has taken place since that
first Rosh Hashonah following the
end of World War II, when hum
dreds of thousands of needy Jews
survivors of Nazism and the
concentration camps foun d
themselves in the status of DPS,
looking to the Jews of America
as their only hope for survival
and a decent life.
Today, thanks to the assistance
which American Jewry has pro-
vided-through the United Jew
ish Appeal-the word "DP" is al
most forgotten, and the vast bulk
of these former DPS have found
new lives in Israel and other
lands. Those who remain are in

most cases the sick, the manned
and the kelpless-those most in
need of aid, perhaps for the rest
of their lives. Those who require
aid include also tens of thousands
of Jews in Moslem countries, as
well as thousands of "hard core"
newcomers to Israel, who need
medical treatment, institutional
care and rehabilitation assistance.
All of these-those whom you
have aided, those whom you are
still aiding-send their greetings
to you on this Rosh Hashonah,
send their greetings and their
thanks to you who have given
them life and hope and happiness.

Joint Distribution Committee
In sending our greetings to the
American Jewish community at
the opening of this New Year, the
Joint Distribution Committee does
so not only on its own behalf, but
on behalf of the hundreds of thou
sands of men, women and chill
dren overseas who are able to
celebrate this New Year as a
happy occasion because of the aid
which you provided.

Motorists were so law-abiding
along Mount Vernon highway
last week that Park Police had
to use their own cars to prove
the high-speed efficiency Of q
radar speed signal.
If the police buy it, a lot more
motorists are likely to be even
more law abiding.
Use of radar in speed checks
is a growing thing. Maryland
has had it for about a year, but
so far Washington enforcement
units haven't applied it.

There are, however, figures
