As the holiday of Rosh lift-Shanah approaches, it is
only fitting and with much interest that I send the Jewish
people my best wishes and salutations.

It is in accordance with the Divine order that every
mortal should stop occasionally and review his life; take an
account of his hidden evils, that he may know them. ac-
knowledge them, struggle against them and put them
away. Even the successful merchant pauses now and then
to take an inventory of tiffs stock ; to clear away the worth-
less and then to replenish his store, thereby making it more
attractive to his customers as well as a more profitable in-
vestment. How much more valuable is a man's soul! It
is wise to profit by the example of the merchant and thrust
away from our lives that which is evil.
Not until the last day, the day that closes our existence
here upon earth, shall we fully realize the brevity of time.
While our lives are still full of vigor, we sometimes forget
that we are not moored forever, and that there will come
a time when the anchor will be lifted.

The old year brings a sense of relief, in that its short-
comings and its failures are now to be left behind, while
the approach of a new year brings the hope of something
different and bolter beyond in the path we are treading.
Whatever the past year may have been to you, make it a
dead history. but let the new year be a living issue. Let
a kind thought enter for everyone. Make it a year of
service, of trust in God, of happiness in your home. Give
to Rosh lia-Shanah nothing to keep that will not prove an
honor to God's name and a blessing to the world,
We should also give renewed birth to the traditional
idea that all men are created equal, and if we are to be
true Americans we will "carry on" until that dominating
idea is fully realized by our great Republic.

Bethlehem was the least disappointing

GREETINGS OF THE SEASON

"Wherewith prolongest thou life?"
Rabbi Nechuma s disciples asked him
once. And the master answered: "I
never sought my honod at the expense
of my associates's degradation, ' , and
the thought of a Wong done to me in
daytime never went with me to bed at
night."--The Talmud.

A sivid pen picture of timely ad-
monition to those who have pledged
and failed the war-victims is con-
taincil in the letter I if Louis Marshall,
chairman of the American Jewish Re-
lief Committee, to Oscar Ilerman,
treasurer of the Cincinnati branch.
Mr. Marshall's letter follows:
In order to meet the commitments
of the Joint Distribution Committee
in connection with our work in East-
ern Europe, it is absolutely necessary
to collect at 1111•e from all subscribers
to our fund the amount of their
pledges remaining unpaid. Our pro-
gram and our appropriations to carry
it out were based upon the faith of
the collection of these pledges. If we
were disabled because of lack of the
funds 11111111 w hich we have thus de-
pended, in carrying out that program,
serious suffering would ensue and the
reputation of American Jewry, which
today stands high everywhere, would
he greatly diminished.
"Our liquidation program involves
the raring for the children whom ea t
have been hitherto supporting, foe ,
p ri I whi h will make it safe to •Cs
charge them from further overslept.
It involves the repatriation of the un-
fortunate refugees and the el .mp:e-
tion .if our reconstruction, sanitation
and cultural Maws To abandon any
of these features of our work at this
culminating stage would prove an un-
malitied misfortune. It is unthink-
able that children of tender age, be-
reft of parents, shall he cast lips the
cold mercies of the world at a time
when they still reuire care P nil direc-
tion. Yet, if our subscribers fail as
rat this critical moment, that is pre-
cisely what would occur.
"I am sure that the men and women
of your great Jewish communo,
would not regard such a possibib y
with any degree of patience, and that
those who have not an yet mut their
subs.ripti 'vs would not feel i‘therwise
than humiliated if the idea wen' froth
that they have abandoned in mid-
stream those who have relied upon
them. I am certain that all that is
required is to call these facts to the
attention of those whose sense of hu-
manity and feeling of obliget on
prompted them in the past to come
to the rescue of their brethren and
they will be swift to crown their good
intentions with performancii."

An Appreciation

Not custom, but a sincere desire to ex-
press our warm appreciation of your part
in the building up of this institution prompts
us to write this editorial today!
Fourteen years ago—when this organiz-
ation first made its appearance among local
retail stores—we asked you for your confi-
dence and a share of your patronage. We
received your confidence whole-heartedly
—and much more of your patronage than
we had hoped for at first. Then, through
the years—and as we grew stronger and
more pretentious—we received more and
more and MORE of the business and good
will of the people of Detroit. Each year has
placed this store nearer the goal its founders
hoped to have it occupy—a tangible asset to
a thriving, growing community.
Any measure of success we have en-
joyed in the past will be far overshadowed
by the success we are going to MAKE this
business merit in the future. Were we to
make any resolution today it would be
merely to resolve to follow the same proven
and time-tested methods that have put this
store in the front rank of the country's mer-
cantile institutions.
