Hyman Altman was reappointed

In this annual report Mr. Sil-
verman stressed the three omen-
'Bel services of the House of Shel-
ter. First, the care of transients,
who come to the institution for
food, shelter and clothing. Second,
the care of local homeless Jewish
men, who are unemployed and
have no means of support. Third,
the furnishing of meals to the
group of men who formerly were
taken care of by the Kosher
Kitchen.
This report included an ana-
lysis which revealed that 364
transients were lodged and cared
for at the House of Shelter in
1935, 13 local Indigent men were
housed as residents, 13,716 meals
were served and 7,962 nights'
lodging provided.
"In 1935, too," stated Mr. Sil-
verman, "the House of Shelter
continued the accepted function
and responsibility of providing
meals during Passover to approxi-
mately 105 men daily for the
holiday week. Meals and religious
services were also provided for
the Jewish inmates of the County
Jail and the House of Correc-

when people think about eight-cylinder
I cars, they immediately think of Pontiac—for the
1936 Pontiac is the greatest eight of its time.
It conibines the finest of eight-cylinder performance
with economy that amazes even owners of small, light
cars. It is equally famous for dependability that a car
of this price has never had before. And it's the one
low-priced car that gives you exactly what you want—
beauty unlike that of any other car on the road. Take
it for a trial. Make any test you can think of. The
more you try the surer you'll be that you can't do
better than a Pontiac Eight.

date The number of Jews in Pales-

a legislative point of view irrele-

in the world who needs and desires
to go to Palestine and has not gone
—just so long as that the national
home is being established and is
not yet established and nothing
must be done or undertaken in
Palestine to minimize the hopes
or the rights of that Jew. In brief:
under the terms of declaration and
mandate, by the terms of all pre-
vious British-Jewish co-operation,
by the spirit of every engagement
and as the fundamental and un-
questioned assumption of all the
work done by us in Palestine and
of all the millions that World Jew-

Palestine does not and will not for
centuries belong to the actual dwel-

every Jew and to all Jews and even
to those Jews. who are non-Zionists
or anti-Zionists today but whom
some need tomorrow may—like our
brethren in Germany—awaken to
the necessity and glory of the home

tine is the home of all Jews. When
all Jews who need and want that
home are in it—then and not until
