Season's Greetings
In rebuilding the Jewish Homeland young women immigrants from
Eastern and Central Europe work shoulder to shoulder with the men
in the gruelling pioneering work of road-building, swamp-clearing,
farming, etc. This young woman is laying tiles in one of the many
modern houses going up around the ancient cities of Palestine with
the assistance of funds raised among the Jews of America by the
United Palestine Appeal.
In the spirit of the season we ex-
tend to all the Jewish people, every-
where, best wishes for a happy and
prosperous New Year. May you re-
ceive all the rewards of honest en-
deavor.

room. It looked like an enchanted
chamber. She ran to the bedroom
mirror and stayed before it for a
long time. She kept wondering
what he saw in the little pinched
face that stared back at her
through pale mouse-colored eyes.
On Saturday evening she went
shopping. She bought herself a
nice spring suit in a bargain store
on Union Square. Twenty-five (W-

kW, Won't hurt them," Millie, who
worked with her at the department
store, had said. Maybe Millie was
right. She sent out with so many
fellows. She smiled as she thought
of Millie. Millie, who told you
whatever she knew or thought.
One must be happy to be like that!
What if she sonietimes told the
girls her thoughts!-her thoughts
about the silver stars shining so
high above the sordid tenements;
the care-worn people who passed
her on her way to work; of God,
of the future life in which she had
absolute faith. She smiled as she
thought of the girls and their talk
at the store. And then she thought
of Dave (her thoughts always took
that turn). Was it pity that
prompted him to be so friendly?
Sunday was it blue and gold day.
