brave a display as the red roofs
and glittering white dwellings to-
day. For they meant something to
these youngsters. Those were the
days, in 1911, when the Zionist
Organization was first turning to
modern methods of colonization;
and the settlers adopted the plan
of a German-Jewish professor
named Franz Oppenheimer, a
youngster about 45 years old at
that time, who was advocating the
curious method of co-operative set-
tlement. A few months previously
a similar experiment had been
launched further north in the Jor-
dan Valley at a spot named Da-
genie.
The beginnings were, as most
beginnings are, unspeakably dif-
ficult. To drain those swamps and
wrest a vestige of fertility from
the soil seemed a superhuman task.
At first, and that covered the first
two or three years, it appeared
that the venture of a co-operative
farm, the first in Palestine, might
have to be abandoned. The settlers
were unable to hold out; they were
practically the only people in the
vicinity and subject to constant
raids of thieving, looting and mur-
dering.

Since that time the keutzaA and
settlement of Merhavia, adjoining
each other as twin centers, have
not looked back. They are self-
supporting, and they are repay-
ing to the Kerns Hayesod their
original budgets. Merhavia has been
immortalized too in a great literary
creation: for Shalom Asch has
in "A Talent for Palestine" drawn
a stirring picture of the llfoshav
and of the life of a pioneer, one
of the most brilliant of his short
stories.

the line of duty. Others came down
too, by snipers' bullets of fever.
There was no water. The near-
est spring was miles away and the
previous fluid had to be dragged
painfully over the rutted
paths, utilizing manpower or the
services of the couple of span of
mules needed so urgently for the
tillage.
Then came the war. Everything
was at a standstill in Palestine
during those four weary years,
Merhavia among them. Upon the
Armistice being signed, and the
Jewish battalions of the British
Army being offered demobilization
in the country or repatriation, sev-
eral American soldiers decided to
remain in Eretz Israel to which
their Zionism h a d originally
brought them under the colors of
the Union Jack.
They, too, found life difficult in
this forsaken spot. The great
Emek had not been redeemed;
Nahalal was to come in 1921, the
first of post-war colonization. The
next step forward for Merhavia
was in 1925, when the Hashomer
Hatzair group sent in a small de-
tachment of comrades. This time
they had the Keren Ilayesod, (Pal-

M. S. Pilsudaki Sails with
Many Jewish Passengers
The new motorliner "Pilaudaki"
of the Gdynia-America Line left
New York via Halifax direct to
Gdynia with about 237 passengers,
49 of whom embarked in Halifax.
Among the travelers were
groups of Jews; some going to
see their old country, others des-
tined to Palestine for the holidays.
In the Tourist Cabin was
Alfred B. Rosenstein, vice-presi-
dent of the Federation of Polish
Jews of America. There were
also on board two small children,
Eva Weiss, 9-years-old, and her
brother, Bob, 6-years-old, travel-
ing alone to visit their grandpar-
ents. Their father and mother
will follow later.
Great interest is manifested for
the next sailing of the H. S. "Pil-
sudski" on April 22, which will
enable Jewish passengers to arrive
in Palestine for Shevuoth after a
visit to their old countries.
