Turners Launch Campaign
to Train American Youth
In the belief that American
youth has grown "soft" as a re-
sult of inadequate physical
training in the nation's school
system, Carl M. Weideman, Cir-
cuit Court Commissioner and na-
tional president of the American
Turners, announces that his or-
ganization has started a move-
ment for more widespread and
intensive physical education in
she schools.
The American Turners was
founded as a gymnastic and
cultural society in 1848 by a
group of German refugees who
fled to this country to escape
political persecution in their
homeland. It has since spread to
130 American cities anal, while
its membership is largely Ameri-
cans of German descent, it has
frequently taken a public stand
against Nazism.
Weideman said he is writing
to presidents of the Turners so-
cities throughout the country to
organize groups in their com-
munities for the sponsorship of
"national physical education with
a view toward developing the
manpower of America."
Weideman pointed out that in
the first World Was draft, 33 per-
cent of the nation's youth were
rejected for physical unfitness,
while only 6 per cent of the mem-
bership of the Turners were re-
jected for the same reason.
"I point to this fact as evi-
dence that the gymnastics and
physical training our members
undergo constantly made them fit
for service when the emergency
arose," said Weideman.
Weidman said in each corn-
munnty where the Turners have
a society, the local officers will
cooperate with the school system
and other organizations, like the
YMCA, to broaden the scope of
physical training in the locality.
Rabbi Granowitz Is Named

tional director of placements. In
this capacity, Rabbi Granowitz
will be in charge of creating op-
portunities for the graduates of
the Institute to serve in congre-
gations and of strengthening the
relationship between congrega-
tions now served by graduates
