world, is one of the very few per-
sons to have scaled the Moun-
tains of the Moon. 'His motion

of the perilous climb but also
show wild animals in their na-
tive haunts, native African tribes
and their strange customs, and
other interesting and enterain-
ing phases of life in Africa.
Sunday evening at 8:30, Mr.

tour of the world with motion
pictures in natural color. His

POLISH FESTIVAL Dedicate Memorial
Rabbis Appeal for
FOR WAR RELIEF Tablet in Tribute
Chicago Yeshiva
to Morris Kornfield At a meeting of the Council
To be Held Jan. 11.19; Father

Justyn Describe s Plight of
Persecuted Jews

"I saw Jews beaten, starved,
driven, humanity betrayed".
Thus spoke Father 0. Justyn,
Buffalo's beloved priest, to more
than 500 workers of the Allied
Polish Festival for War Relief
at their monthly meeting in the
Book Cadillac Hotel last Friday
night. Father Justyn returned
last December from a tramp
through German occupied Poland.
"I saw once wealthy families",
Father Justyn said, "living in the
squalor of refugee camps, sub-
sisting on not more than five
cents a day.
"Americans have no idea what
is going on today in Europe. You
see hundreds of thousands of ref-
ugees, without a home, without
food, with a single shirt on their
backs; women forcefully separ-
ated from their husbands; chil-
dren without parents, wandering,
dying.
"The male Jew is conscripted
for two years of hard labor and
he and his family live in a stock-
ade enclosed in barbed wire."
The festival is part of a na-
tional campaign to raise $3,000,-
000 to alleviate the conditions in
Poland. Detroit's quota is $240,-
000. The festival will be held in
Convention Hall, Jan. 11 to 19.
Rolland S. Phillips, executive
director of the festival, has set
aside one night as an All-Na-
tionality Night, and a number of
prominent Jews have promised
they would participate.

to tell members and worshipers
that the degree that they sup-
port the Yeshiva to that degree
are they preserving Jewry, Juda-
ism and the Jewish way of life."

On Sunday afternoon, Oct. 6,

needs of the Zionist districts, In
addition to suggestions in regard
to cultural themes and source

selective Zionist bibliography, a
calendar of Zionist events and
personalities and general direc-
tions in regard to Jewish adult

Hebrew University Students
Urged to Enlist

DINNERS

JERUSALEM (Palcor Agency)
—The precedence of the present
emergency over even the un-
doubted value of the national life
of an excellent cultural back-
ground was stressed at the end
of July when members of the
Hebrew University Students' Fed-
eration were urged to enlist with
the British Forces by Moshe Sher-
tok, head of the Political De-
partment of the Jewish Agency
Executive.
Addressing a meeting of the
Federation held in this city, Mr.
Shertok characterized this present
war being waged against the
dominance of Nazi brutality as
one of principle, and declared
that all those who actively helped
to restore and maintain human
freedom would at the conclusion
of the struggle experience the
moral satisfaction of having con-
tributed to the emergence of
right over might.
A talk in similar vein was
afterwards delivered by Prof.
Adolph H. Fraenkel, Rector of
the University.

Distinctive atmosphere and
delicious food—well cooked
and well served.
