Life Insurance in Action
A business concern was the beneficiary under
three Great-West Life Ordinary Life policies
owned by an eminent sixty-three year old
executive in Louisiana, who died following an
operation. The policies had been in force
with the Company for over fifteen years and
totalled $69,000. Life insurance can do much
to cushion the shock a business feels when it
loses a key man.

of business, such as arrangements

Filled with a strong resolve to
fulfill their place as American
Chalutzim for Palestine despite
closed aliyah and war in the Near
East, members of Hashomer Hat-
zair, world Zionist Youth Move-
ment, will convene in Detroit,
Michigan, April 15-20, for their
9th national veidah (convention)
to clarify and strengthen their
goal of establishing themselves as
members of a kibutz in Eretz
Yisroel.
The backbone of the kibutz
farm collective movement of Pal-
estine, Hashomer Hatzair members
there are joined together in kib-
utz Artzi, a federation of collec-
tive. There are two American
colonies settled on their own land
at present.
Founded 14 years ago at Afu-
lah, Kibutz Artzi is the second
largest force within the impor-
tant Palestinian labor federation,
the Histadruth. At present 47
Shomer colonies are settled on
Jewish National Fund land from
the Huleh to the Negev. Many
others are in Palestine awaiting
their turn at permanent settle-
ment.
Ein Hashofet, one of the prime
"showplaces" of Eretz Lisrael is
the first American kibutz to be
settled there. With aliyah in 1933,
this colony firmly established it-
self in 1937 on its own land in
the hills of Ephraim, back of
Emek Jezreel. The name, "the
Well of the Judge" was taken in
respect and honor of Justice Louis
D. Brandeis, friend and aid of
the colony. Today, settled for four
years on its own land, this col-
lective is one of the strongest in
the land with its economy deeply
rooted in the soil. Former mem-
bers of Ken Detroit, Hashomer
Hatzair, now members of Ein
Hashofet are: Levi Shapiro, Es-
ther Weisinger and Yirmiyahu
Haggai, son of the well-known
leader and teacher, Joseph Haggai.
At Kfar Menachem in the south
of Palestine is settled the second
of the American colonies. Estab-

Open Registration
For Camp Mehia
The directors of Camp Mehia
announce the opening of registra-
tion for the camping season of
1941. Camp 'Mehia is equipped
to care for boys and girls from
6 to 16 and also has a campus
kindergarten nursery group for
campers 2 / 1 2 to 6.
Camp Mehia directors urge
early registration of children for
summer camping. This provides
an opportunity for the staff of
Camp Mehia to become acquaint-
ed with the child, his individual
needs and interests and aids in
planning programs which will
enable the camper to receive the
utmost offered by Camp Mehia.
Parents who are planning to
send their children to camp are
advised to register now so that
their child will have a summer
vacation at no increase in price
over last year. In face of rising
food costs, the greater cost of
staff and equipment, the cost of
camping cannot remain the same
as last year.
An invitation is extended to
all to visit Camp Mehia and ex-
amine the safety of the grounds
and the adequacy of equipment.
Colored moving pictures of
Camp Mehia will be shown to
parents interested in seeing the
camp and the activities offered.
