Clothing To Polish Jewish
Relief Body

LONDON (WNS)—The Brit-
ish Government has turned over
to the Polish Jewish relief com-
mittee 300 sacks of clothing, sent
to Poland by Jews in the United
States, which Britain seized some
time ago on the ground that the

lief committee that the clothing
articles be distributed among the
Polish refugees here.

Editor, Detroit Jewish Chronicle:
In the issue of The Detroit
Jewish Chronicle, dated Aug. 31,
there appeared a letter from an
interested Jewish youth regard-
ing the stand of the Jewish Amer-
ican Youth Council on the out-
standing issue of the day, con-
smription.
We appreciate this opportunity
to state our unqualified opposi-
tion to the Burke-Wadsworth
Conscription bill now in Con-
gress.
To the Jewish Youth commun-
ity so vitally affected today by
the dangers to our peace and to
our Democracy, the Jewish Amer-
ican Youth Council extends an
invitation to participate in its
forthcoming Peace Rally, Sept.
29, 8 p. m. at Roosevelt School.
On that occasion, the views of
the Jewish American Youth Coun-

inent members of our Jewish

the issue of How to Defend Amer-
ica and to preserve its cherished
ideals.

the Detroit Jewish community.
Originally organized to avoid
duplication in the selection of
dates for social activities, special
programs and regular meetings,
the Bureau enlisted the coopera-
tion of the community's most ac-

of them have already availed
themselves of this service in or-
der to record dates for the com-
ing season.
Young peoples' organizations,

to clear their dates as soon a s
posible by calling Columbia 1600

In order to keep its record up
