We wish to commend heartily Itahlii Leon Film, Associate Rabbi of Temple Beth El of Detroit but for inerly of Temple Judea of this city, upon the very excellent man- ner in which he handled Jewish Rook Week in this city. In addi- tion to preaching a sermon oat this subject he circulated through the press a scholarly article on "flow to Choose a Model Jewish Library." The introductory statement of this article says: "The presence of Jewish books in the home is indispensable for the religious education of Jewish boys and girls. By a Jewish library is not meant books in Ilebrew or Yid- dish but books on Jewish subjects written in English. The presence of such a library in any home re- flects culture and good taste." Out of the available material Rabbi hhani selected a list of books in English which would constitute a model .lewish library. These books tie divides into classics, recent pub- lications, Jewish art books (in which he includes "Jewish Motifs" by Todros Geller of this city), books for children and books espec- ially appropriate as gifts for con- tinuants. Rabbi Frain also uti- lized Jewish Book Week for the purpose of urging Jewish homes to become members of the Jewish Publication Society of Philadelphia. Finally he offers the facilities of his office at Temple Beth El to order Jewsli books for all those who care to obtain them. We have no doubt that Rabbi Pram's labors in behalf of the Jewish book will in- trisluce Jewish culture into many (shines in Detroit. JEWISH BOYS' BAND TO PLAY FOR RADIO The band of the Denver Na- tional Home for Jewish Chil- dren, composed of 35 boys of the home, aged from It to 15 years, will render a concert over the radio station of the General Electric Company lo- cated at Denver, Colo., known as Station KOA, on Tuesday, June 21, from 3:30 to 4:30 p. m., Denver or Mountain time. Denver time is two hours earlier than Detroit time.

Another author, Mr. Octave Cha- nute, whose writings are funda- mental for every student of mod. ern aeronautics in this country, in his book, "Progress in Flying Ma- chines" (New York, DWI, pays the (snowing tribute to Lilienthal: "Among the most systematic and carefully conducted series of exper- iments that have over been made in the direction of artificial flight are those of Herr Otto Lilienthal of Berlin, Germany, a mechanical en- gineer and constructor, and a prom- inent member of the German So- ciety for the Advancement of Aer- ial Navigation. In the opinion of the writer of these lines, Ilerr Lil- ienthal has attacked the most diffi- cult, and perhaps the most impor- tant of the many problems which must be solved before success can he hoped for in navigating the air with flying machines.

' by the B'NAI B'RITH COMMUNITY CENTER A new beacon light shone forth in Detroit on May 2, 1926; a new • landmark was established on the local horizon; an age old spirit finally fought its way through and secured its embodiment in the beautifully modelled and artis- tically designed l'isgah Lodge Community Center. As if overnight, the venerable spirit of B'nai B'rith stepped out of the past and donned the mantlel of modernity. Just as the tradi- tional Menorah with its seven sweeping branches, so did Pisgah': activities branch out and enlarge, so that the community center is now a veritable behive of human activity. Just as the spirit creates the body, so does the boy tend to OM- serve and propagate this spirit through the inspiration of the physical environment. It may ver- ily be said that l'isgah Lodge Com- munity Center is singularly unique in its activities. It has become a center of music, art, charitable en-' terprise and Jewish culture. Within its walls, the B'nai B'rith Symphony Orchestra, under the able leadership of Professor Mark Gunzburg, is in sem-weekly prac- twe; within its walls are frequent exhibits of local artists, classes in citizenship, entertainments, gym- nusium activities and the regular meetings of Pisgah Lodge. It is befitting to say that were it net svor the nohle and self-sacri- firing idealism of a few pioneers, this monumental achievement, this structure of stone and steel, would still have been exposed to the ele- ments in a semi-finished condition. It is to men like Shatzen, Kramer and Ettinger that credit must be given, for they took the work in hand at a crucial moment and brought it to a victorious consum- mation through sheer zeal of pur- pose and the holy joy of accom- plishment. Pisgah Lodge Community Cen- ter. with its manifold facilities and its ideal location, through the untiring efforts of its officers, is creating a new tradition for serv- ice and bids a welcome hand to all who desire to take advantage of its opportunities. Bright as the morning star that flashes across the horizon, Pisgah Lodge Center beckons to Detroit Jewry to fill its halls and to help fan the spark of idealism con- tained within its walls into one mighty flame. The center will be the hub of the activities of the approaching convention of District Grand Lodge, No. 6, I. 0. B. B., which will be held here July 3, 4, 5 and 6.

His last performance, the story goes on to relate, was an actual flight through the air in a chariot drawn by demons. As he was ca- reering through the ether, the two apostles knelt down and prayed, with such good effect that he crashed to the ground a mangled •orpse. Thus the tale of the holy fathers Of the Church. Who knows but there may he a grain of aero- nautic fact in the fiction of the zeal- tus annalists of the Christian Church? Who knows but that those "(I, mons" were in reality the mechanical devices of a very good inventive intellect coming into the world a little too early? Anyhow, the good Christian fathers them- s•lves have told us that he was fly- ing through the air, and, if a Jew refuses, perhaps, to take it too ser- iously, a good, pious Christian should believe it and give that Jew in Rome credit for his contribution to aviation. More than a thousand years pass after Simon the Magician per- formed his stunts at Rome, and we hear nothing of Jews, or, for that matter, Gentiles, doing something for the art of flying. There is only one notable exception, sometime about the y.-ar 1500. when that uni- versal Italian genius, Leonardo da Vinci, seems to have experimented also with the art of flying. leaving behind some remarkable drawings of his own idea of flyin g machin- a ery. The next we hear of a Jew play- ing his part in the drama of avia- tion is in the latter part of the nineteenth century, and this time it is neither a dreamer nor a magician but a scientific, sober mechanical engineer, using the last word of The people of Detroit enjoy gas science to attempt a solution of the rates "which are lower than problem of flight.
