started only recently and there is
still plenty of opportunity for girls
wishing to join to register at this

of the Girl Scout Troop, and is both
enthusiastic and efficient. Girls al-

urge their girl friends to enroll. Par-
ents should urge their daughters to
join the Shaarey Zedek Girl Scouts.
There are already in Detroit several

ROSH HASHONA

By P. M. RASKIN

Hear you, oh hear you the horn,
The quest in its voice?
Shall we, oh shall we this morn,
When heaven and earth are reborn—
Weep or rejoice?

Lift up, lift up thy veil,
Heed my request,
What bringet thou, year, in thy trail,
Gladness or Borrow or wail,
Wandering, rest?

Anchorless, mastless our boat,
Boundless the sea;
Aimless, adrift and afloat,
Vainly • harbor we sought,
None could we see.

God, how long, oh, how long
Outcasts we roam,
Countries and nations among,
Suffering insult and wrong—
God, bring us home)
