the increase in crime among young Jews on the fact that Jews
here do not offer to strangers the social welcome 'which would

encouragement that Christian welfare workers are ready to
offer those who are erring in their midst. We present the
following views of this non-Jewish newspaperman, whom we

A gift of $50,000 from Felix M.

en for the action, and there was no
discussion of it. It was approved
by the members, and application
has been made to the Secretary of
State for approval of the new
name."
"A member must be a Mason and
a gentleman," he said. "The club
has no bias against Jews. Why, we
leave a lot of men with names like
Schwartz and Berg in the club.
"Of course, since only two teem-k-
hans are needed to keep an appli-
cant out. it often happens that a
good man is barred for personal
reasons. We can't change the
minds of the men, and since we can-
not find out which ones are black-
balling prospective members, there
is no way in which we can get at
the problem."

BUDAPEST.—(J. T. A.)—The
synagogue and cemetery of the
Orthodox Jewish Community in
Nyirbator, Ilungary, were saved
from being sold at auction to meet
a builder's claim amo*ting to
$140, by a last moment agreement.
The claim of 800 pengoes was
presented by a local builder who
constructed a ritual bath for the
Orthodox community in 1925. Un-
able to meet the bill, a judgment
against the synagogue and ceme-
tery, the real property of the com-
munity, was granted. The ceme-
tery was to have been sold for at
least 200 pengoes and the syna-
gogue for 600 pengoes, according
to the order for the sale.
The settlement was brought
about through the intervention of
the Orthodox Landeskanzlei in
Budapest.
The Jewish community of Nyir-
baton expressed its thanks to
Horace Chevrier, a Roman Cath-
olic, one of-the leading merchants
of Winnipeg, - Canada., who, upon
reading the Jewish Telegraphic
Age;ry dispatch in the Western `
Jewish News, offered to contribute
$50 and raise the balance required
to meet the claim.
Sir. Cheerier made the offer to
the Western Jewish News, which
is served by the Jewish Telegraph-
ic Agency. The Jewish Telegraphic
Agency cabled to its correspon-
dent in Budapest asking hint to
forward the offer to the com-
munity. It was learned that the
settlement had in the meantime
been effected.
