Junior Conferences of Christians
and Jews Organized in
10 Cities

Junior Conferences of Chris-
tians and Jews, composed of young
people representing church, par-
ish and synagogue groups of the
three faiths and closely modeled
after their parent organization,
the National Conference of Chris-
tians and Jews, have been organ-
ized in 10 cities throughout the
country, it was revealed here at
the headquarters of the National
Conference.
Like the National Conference,
the Junior Conferences have been
established to further a spirit of
friendliness, understanding, and
cooperation among Protestants,
Catholics and Jews.
The Baltimore chapter has re-
cently published a statement of
purpose which includes the follow-
ing points:
"We believe in equality among
people of different races and
creeds and desire to bring about
friendliness, understanding and
cooperation among them.
"We believe in democracy as a
way of life—the one which is
most conducive to 'Life, Liberty,
and Happiness.'
"We believe in religion as a
solution to modern problems, re-
alizing that it can and must play
an important role in all the issues
of our day.
"We believe in the recognition
and preservation of minority
rights—that this is at the heart of
both religion and democracy.
"For the attainment of these
goals, we pledge ourselves, be-
lieveing that in this way we can
most effectively bring about a
social order based on 'Justice,
Amity and Understanding.' "

Concert Jan. 13
stage and radio, will make her

Honoring the memory of Vic-
tor Herbert, one of the most
popular of all American com-
posers, the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra, under the direction of
Victor Kolar, will play an all-
Victor Herbert program at the
fourth in the series of popular-
priced Saturday night concerts,
Jan. 13, in Masonic Auditorium.
Three distinguished soloists
will take part in this program:
Jean Tennyson, soprano; William
Hain, tenor; and Jaseha .Schwarz-
man, 'cellist member of the Sym-
phony.
Miss Tennyson, one time mem-
ber of the Ziegfeld Follies, now
a member of the Chicago Opera
Compayn and a former star of
the San Carlo Opera Co., has
sung both abroad and in this
country with enviable success.
She was born in Chicago of Nor-
wegian parents from whom she
inherited her love for art and
music. Her rise to stardom in
musical comedies and the thea-
ter in general paved the way to
her later success in opera.
Hain's rise as a concert artist
somewhat parallels that of Miss
Tennyson, for he, too, had his
start in the theater. He has ap-
peared with leading musical or-
ganizations as an oratorio singer
and for five seasons sang with
the New York Opera Comique.
He also has been with the Chat -
auqua and Deauville Opera Com-
panies, as well as having sung
the leading role in "Dubarry,"
opposite Grace Moore. and with
Helen Gahagan in "The Merry
Widow."
Schwarzman will be soloist in
the Second Concerto for 'Cello
and Orchestra, Op. 34, a work
that Herbert wrote for the in-
strument upon which he himself
was a virtuoso.
