Kosher Week at Recreation Camp:

Kosher week for Jewish girls at the
city recreation camp will be held from
Slonday, Aug. 25, through Labor Day.
The camp is located! on Lake Ree-
l-ration, four miles northwest of
Brighton, Michigan.
The department of recreation pur-
chasm' the site and constructed an up-
to-date camp. Permanent cabins were
built, equipped with wo o den floors,
electric lights, individual steel cots,
with felt mattresses and feather pil-
lows. A screened dining hall, having
a cement floor and modem cafeteria
service, overlooks the lake. An as-
sembly hull with library, piano, vic-
trola and radio, provides entertain-
ment Dr evenings and rainy days. An
athletic field provides opportunity for
all kinds of sports. The rate is $7.00
a week. This includes transporation
both ways.
Any child needing a doctor's care
will not be admitted to camp. Every
, child undergoes a physical examine-
', tnin on entering camp given by a corn-
', potent physician who is in charge of
the health of the children. A nurse
is on duty at cell times.

The Central Conference of Rabbis • is a careful and cautious body. The
more I think of the peace resolution it passed, the less I think of it. It is in
favor of universal peace. But it must not be understood as being in favor
of non-resistance. Nor would it have the world believe that it is pacifist.
And our country must he defended against invaders. And every righteous
war should invite our support. Aside from all these exceptions, the Central
Conference is against war! Every war is a righteous war—all depending

BOTH PLEDGED THEMSELVES to accept the de-

THIS REPORT was accepted by the City Council --
vetoed by the Acting Mayor, and accepted by the
Council over the Mayor's veto.

SO FAR AS ARBITRATION IS CONCERNED, the
