Look to Their Future
Nowadays, every healthy man can provide
for his wife and children "as long as he
lives—and longer." How much "Longer"
is determined by the amount of life insur-
ance he holds in companies like The Great
West Life.
In looking to the future of your loved ones
—and to your own future after retirement
age—it will pay you to see what this great
Company has to offer. You will be sur-
prised how small an outlay will provide
life insurance to meet your needs. Let me
give you details.

REVUSKY'S "JEWS IN PALESTINE"
IN NEW AND REVISED EDITION
Volume Contains Account of Recent Arab Outrages; Facts and Fig-
ures Brought Completely Up•to•D•te
Recent events in Palestine, which
stirred American Jewry to its
most profound depths, have cre-
ated an urgent demand for the full
facts and especially for informa-
tior that would really explain the
background out of which arose
these tragic occurrences and that
will indicate their probable effects
on Jewish destinies.
To meet this general demand
the Vanguard Press has just Is-
sued a new and completely revised
edition of Revuaky'a "Jews in Pal-
estine," generally recognized as
the most comprehensive and ob-
jective account of Jewish achieve-
ments In Palestine, as well as the
most lucid interpretation of the
problems encountered in the up-
building of the Jewish National
Horne there. The volume gives a
complete description of contempo-
rary activities and developments
in Palestine and offers a clear and
interesting panorama of the vari-
ous phases of Jewish work there.
Since its original publication
early In 1935 "Jews in Palestine"
has met with nothing but praise
both In America and Europe where
three different editions have been
leaned—Engliah In London. French
in Paris and Yiddish in Warsaw.

Unfortunately, however, My
Dear Governor Landon, in ad-
dition to your hosts of thor-
oughly honest American sup-
porters, there have enlisted
under your banner the vilest
sort of intolerant, bigoted or-
ganizations who are using anti-
Semitism and other appeals to
bigotry in order to defeat Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
I wonder whether you have
seen the miserable propaganda
with which they are by infer-
ence identifying your cause
with that of anti-Semitism? If
you have not, I want to tell
you that no more despicable,
scurrilous and lying propaganda
has ever been used in an Amer-
ican political campaign. It is
a veritable Nazi importation in
spirit, if not in fact.
In this column last week I
pointed out that the American
Jew is a typical and loyal
American citizen in his politi-
cal opinions. Sonia are strongly
pro-Roosevelt on sound Ameri-
can grounds. Others, like Felix
Warburg, who is very active in
Jewish life, have, on equally
conscientious American
grounds, conic out in open sup-
port of your candidacy.
One Jewish newspaper owner,
David Stern, is a Roosevelt sup-
porter. Another, Paul Block,
is equally ardent in his support
of you. American Jews are
not a political bloc but have
the same diversified political
opinions as any other religious
or racial group in America who
are loyally American.

Sir Hubert Wilkins, conqueror
of the Arctic and Antarctic and
the British Empire's greatest liv-
ing explorer, will open the World
Adventure Series season of Sun-
day afternoon illustrated lectures
on Sunday, Oct, 11, at the Detroit
Institute of Arts. Sir Hubert
will speak at 3:30 and again at
8:30 on "By Airplane and Sub-
marine to the Arctic and Ant-
arctic," with 6,000 feet of motion
pictures.
Sir Hubert, who is a tinted
speaker as well as explorer, was
born on an 80,000-acre stock
ranch in Australia. Ile was a
World War flyer in the Austral-
ian Flying Corps, and is a veteran
of seven polar expeditions. Ile
has flown from Point Barrow to
Spitsbergen, and in a submarine
has explored the under side of
the Arctic ice pack. Ile was nat-
uralist of the Shackleton Antarc-

South Seas. The Detroit Avia-
tion Society was a sponsor of one
of his Arctic ventures.

The Jewish Child Placement Bureau was established
ill 1929 for the purpose of giving substitute parental care
to children who, because of the absence or inadequacy of
their own parents, cannot live with their own families.
This agency also accepts for treatment, through foster
home care, children presenting behavior problems. Many
children brought to the attention of the Juvenile Court
are referred for care and treatment, as well as children
who present problematic behavior at school or at home.
Greatest care and skill is exercised in selecting the
foster homes to fit each individual child. The resources of
the community are utilized extensively for the purpose of
giving the children good educational and recreational op-
portunities, as well as medical care. The vocational guid-
ance and industrialization of the children receive particu-
lar attention.
As of Sept. 1, 1936, the agency has under its care 215 Dr. Goldsmith Named on
