Dear Boys and Girls:
When you read the story I have
picked out for you this week, you
may think it rather queer that I have
chosen such a sad story for such a
glad times as Simchath Torah. That
is the time when we have jolly pro-
• cessions around the schule, carrying
the scrolls of the Torah and singing
and waving flags. But at a time when
we are happy, it is good for us to
think of the troubles of other peo-
ple, especially when they are of our
own people--our brothers in the Jew-
ish race. And at a time when we
are comfortable and have lots of good
food and a nice place to live in and
are safe in a wonderful country like
America, we mustn't forget the un-
happiness of other Jewish boys and
j girls who have suffered and are still
auffering because of the war in Eu-
rope. That is why I want you to hear
what this boy has to tell.

PHILOMATHIC CLUB
The Philomathic meeting last week
brought together Jacob Kadushin and
Louis Carpol of the affirmative, op-
posed by Sidney DeYoung and 1Vil-
ber DeYoung of the negative, on the
question, "Resolved, that Trade
Unions as they now exist, are, on the
whole, beneficial to the U. S." This
timely and most important topic Was
argued pro and con by the debaters
and for interesting as well as
educational features the debate was
characteristically Philomathic. The
result, which was thirteen votes to
eleven in favor of the affirmative,
bears witness to the stubborn op-
position which both affirmative and
no gative encountered. The distinction
of being the best of the debators went
to Wilber DeYoung.
Ex-speaker Reubin R. Kollman,
critic, entered into an extensive review
of the various features of the dis-
cussion and advanced suggestions of
a most instructive nature.
The consmittee on Foreign Rela-
tions, presided over by Jack Honig-
man, is at this tins• engaged in com-
pleting a schedule of ' outside activities.
This will include a series of debates
with some of the most prominent col-
leges of the state. The Philomathic,
however, is still open for a number of
debates, and, with the object in view
of filling these open dates, the club
solicits word from college debating
organizations, as well as other note-
worthy debating organizations, as to
the possibility of arranging a debate,
that may prove to be to the ad-
vantage of both challenger rind chal-
lenged. Inquiries along those lines
may be sent to Jack llonigman, at
(108 Westminister avenue, of this
city.
The program for next Sunday after-
noon will bring to the fore, that all-
significant question, "Resolved, that
the Federal government own and
operate the coal mines of the U. S."
The affirmative will be ably defended
by I.ouis Pearlman and Jack Honig-
man, while the negative will concede
nothing to their capable opponents
when H. 13arahol and Wilber DeYoung
defend it. Jack lionigman of the af-
firmative, and Wilber DeYoung of the
negative are debaters of considerable
experience, and with these men
captaining their respective teams, the
debate gives every promise of rival-
ling in interest, any of the programs
thus far held,

We were never quite sure what
had caused the war. Nut even my
father knew, but he and all the
strong mess in our town marched to
the front when the order came. That
made it hard for my mother. It had
always been difficult to get food for
all of us children, even when father
was with us; now there were many
fast days, and my little brothers of-
ten cried because they were hungry.
All this was hard enough, but at
least 8Ive had a roof over our heads.
Then the order conic that by night-
fall we should have to leave our
homes. My mother bad always beets
