PH. 5-1306 As the sole American agency for the movement, Hadassah has aided in the transportation, education and maintenance of 6,200 young boys and birls who have come to Palestine from Europe since 1933. Adjusting the agenda of their conversation to meet the emer gency problem brought about in Palestine by Italy’s entry into the war, Hadassah will “so expand and accellerate its health work and ref ugee services as to give Miss Szold a practical demonstration of our belief that Palestine too, is fighting for the survival of democ racy without which the American way of life cannot continue,” Mrs. Halpern said. Among the speakers who will addres the delegates are Clarence E. Pickett, chairman of the Amer ican Friends Service committee; S. K. Ratcliffe, English publicist; Dr. Nahum Goldmann, of the Jew ish Agency, and Mrs. Edward Ja cobs, former Hadassah president now a member of the executive of the Jewish Agency.

French Plea For Serum Invented by Jew Draws Talk LONDON (JTA) The BBC French - language broadcast com mented on the fact that the Lyon radio announcement of France’s new anti-Jewish legislation was followed immediately with an ap peal of the Beau Soleil sanitarium near Nice for Weinberg serum, which is used to combat gangrene. The BBC announcer asked whe ther Weinberg’s racial origin was investigated before the serum was used. THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY #Miisings ♦ “The bigot for the most part clings to opinions adopted with out investigation, and defended without argument, while he is in tolerant of the opinions of others.” Buck. cial committee to represent it in all local matters except religious affairs.” . . . The negative side won pointing out how impossible it has been for all factions to co operate in the city in the past. . . Following the debate it was an nounced that although the nega tive won the team consisting of Herr Cohn and Weinreb announced that they really were in favor of such an arrangement. . . What we would like to know is what hap pens to a small section of our re form Jewry who insist that the Jews are simply a religious set and not a nation or a people? . . . If the council is not to represent religious factions then what hap pens to this group ? . . . And if they are not represented (and they should not be as they are only called Jews in religious matters) then the council certainly isn't representative of the entire Jew ish community. . . Sounds like a lot of mish-mash. . . and that is exactly what we get when that group which disavows being part of a Jewish nation and contributes nothing to the betterment of the Jewish people wants to put a hal ter on the actions of the remain der of the community who are engaged in positive Judaism. * • * “A wise man reflects before he speaks; a fool speaks, and then reflects on what he has uttered.” Delile. The feature of the debate, how ever, was an unwarranted and libellous attack on an innocent member in the audience. Rather than disturb the assembly, the in dividual who was viciously and erroneously accused waited until the meeting had adjourned and quietly approached the thought less debater and demanded an apology or proof. . . The “proof” was the word of a man who de clared that the accused had writ ten a certain letter soliciting bus iness in a non-kosher manner. . . When the trouble-maker backed down after the accused had of fered a thousand dollars to see this alleged letter, supposedly written two or three years ago, the offending debater apologized for having brought the matter up. In the course of the debate an other more thoughtful speaker re primanded the non-thinker for not having intelligence enough to in vestigate charges before present ing them publicly. * * * Could it be that Harold Cohn, managing editor of the Journal, has lost his sense of judgment? . . . Or maybe he has just devel oped a sense of humor in spread ing the rumor that this paper, in the last political campaign, of fered all the Jewish vote to one candidate for $80! . . . Now, now, Harold, do you think we would sacrifice the reputation of our pa per for such a little bit after we have plugged so hard to build up our weekly? . . . Remember way back when your paper ran a com mercial advertisement on its front page, Harold? . . . Well, that same firm offered tills weekly tri ple its advertising rate to run the same ad on our front page. . . and we refused! (We do not prostitute the press in any form.) The B’nai B’rith meeting Monday night was cer tainly a whopper. .

Reba (Mrs. David) Torn sang beautifully at the Hadassah busi ness and Professional Women’s Tea Sunday afternoon in the Cen ter. . . And she is doing quite well by herself and the Jewish com munity which is proud of her for singing with the Florida Sympho ny orchestra. .. Selma (Mrs: Max well) Sobel has had a minor oper ation and is getting along nicely. . . . She was at St. Vincent’s, we believe. . . Delegates to the Nation al Hadassah Convention from here will be Mrs. Joseph Strauss, president of the chapter, and Mrs. D. H. Lasarow, Mrs. Ike Witten, and Mrs. Joseph Hackel. . . The convention will be held in Cin cinnati and the high spot of the event will be the appearance of Dr. Chiam Weitzman who will come from Palestine. . . Feel like a cad for not being able to visit Dora (Mrs. Sam) Bryan who is recuperating from a recent op eration. . . Dora herself is always the first to cheer those who need to have their spirits lightened. . . It is good to hear that she is get ting along nicely.
