"Off the Capes of Deleware",
a new book of 20 short stories by
Benjamin W. Blandford, deals in
informal fashion with American
Jewish history, especially Jewish
participation in the development
of America. Just issued, the
book was published from the pro-
ceeds of the Ludwig Vogelstein
Memorial Fund by the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations,
Cincinnati.
A bibliography appended to
"Off the Capes of Delaware" in-
dicates extensive research which
has provided the authentic his-
torical background of Mr. Bland-
ford's stories.
Bound in blue cloth, the cover
of the Blandford book presents
the picture of a ship in full sail.
Bernard Segal, well known Cin-
cinnati artist is responsible for
Illustrations. Dr. Emanuel Gamo-
ran, educational director of the
Union has written an editor's
introduction to the volume.
"Significant in these days
when temporary dictatorial up-
starts arise and tell us that only
one class or one group of cer-
tain beliefs, or blood, or what-
not, are the only true-blue patri-
ots," Mr. Blandford points out
in his Preface," is the fact that
in America all classes, of all
religious, social and racial stocks
cooperated to give us our Amer-
ica.
Mr. Blandford, a non-Jew, goes
on to state that through the
pages of his book, he has "sought
to bring to life the men and
women of all classes in the his-
toric past and show what they
thought and said, and what they
did and died for, but particularly
to impress on the reader's mind
that Jew cooperated with Gentile,
and Gentile with Jew to the glory
of a triumphant democracy."
In the editor's introduction,
Dr. Gamoran states that "in
writing a series of stories of
American Jewish life—the first,
as far as I know, intended for
people above the elementary
school age—Mr. Blandford has
rendered Jewish education a ge-
nuine service."
Further information about
"Off the Capes of Delaware" may
be secured from the Union of
American Congregations, Mer-
chants Bldg., Cincinnati.

"Let There Be Light"

"So that the banner of Light, Justice
and Truth shall become the banner of
all the people of the earth as symbol-
ized in the seven-fold Shining Sun—
The Menorah."

To Michigan Jewry we extend our
greetings and best wishes for the New
Year-5701.

WAR

By SUROWECIINO

Human misery and death Is its story
The prize fought for used to be gold
and glory.
But now, war Is the lowest of human
expreskon
For it, only the modern Teutons still
have a passion.
Children were always
told of
war
heroes and braves
But seldom of Its misery, death and
graves.
Now these children are part of the
game
It certainly puts the modern hero
to sin and shame.
How much longer will we allow our
children, whom so dearly we love
To be crushed by bombs from above.

Science, too, has done Its share
For this gross brutality In modern
warfare.
But thanks also to science, war has
lost its glamour
Golden shields, trumpets and chariots
are no more.
Powder, steel and concrete are now
Its tools
To war, go men to be slaughtered
like
fools.
Tyrants also have changed, they new
make quick decisions.
They command to kill for their
pleasure and selfish ambit ions.

Bnai David Ladies' Auxiliary

Extend Their Best Wishes for a Year of Happiness
to the Officers and Members, to the Congregation

MRS. Z. NEEDLE, President.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

May the Jewish Year 5701 Bring Better Times
for Jewry and for Mankind

Why

don't the Heavens stop this
tragic show
Why have they allowed the human
rare to stoop so low.
Why do the angels allow a deal so
bre-tat, so raw
Why don't the people abide by God's
old law.
It all Is like a nightmare, difficult
to comprehend
For God's sake, People, let's give the
innocent a hand.
Let's stop the Teutons, for they do
not know what they are fighting
for.
Let's stop this slaughter, this madness
called War.
