The demand for the 24-year
Hebrew English Calendar, offered
in the columns of this publication,
continues. In response to this de-
mand H. J. Heinz Co. has been
induced to print a new supply. As
usual, the calendar will be sent ab-
solutely free to all who request it.
The New Edition of the
Heinz Calendar
AU dates - 1924 to 1949
This new edition takes the place
of the earlier Jewish calendar
which went only to 1941. The new
calendar goes ahead much farther
and goes back to the year 1924.
To find Yahrzeit dates, Bar
Mitzvahs and other anniversaries
is a task of a few moments with
this convenient book at hand.
Jewish holidays up to the year 1965
are also listed on a special page.
To receive a free copy of the
new calendar, merely send a post-
card or a letter to:

pressed him further, asking
whether he wasn't "aware that
the efforts of some people in
Palestine to make adequate con-
tribution to the Allied interests
in the war are consistently frus-
trated by the Palestine Adminis-
tration, whose policy is com-
pletely out of harmony with the
requirements of the situation."
"The Member knows," Mac-
Millan said, "that this is a very
important and difficult question
and I am sure that he would
not like the Colonial Secretary
or myself to take shelter behind
the Administration on matters
which are the responsibility of
the Colonial Secretary."
The 1941 Experience
"In the 1941 campaigns, be-
fore the outbreak of war, as
well as in several campaigns
since, the 1940 totals generally
were exceeded. Here was evi-
dence, that despite the knowl-
edge that taxes in 1941 income
were being increased consider-
ably, larger salaries, earnings
and profits could provide in-
creased funds for philanthropy.
There was an unprecedented ex-
pansion of economic activity and
a marked rise in national income,
much more than enough to off-
set the effects of higher costs of
living and increased taxes. Many
contributors entered 1942 with a
greater capital reserve on which
to draw for 1942 giving than
was available a year earlier.
"This improved status should
help counteract the anticipated
reversal of trend in some direc-
tions in the year ahead. Many
groups of industries reported
larger profits for 1941, and prac-
tically all of them so reported
for the first six months. The New
York Times combined index of
business activity for the last
week of December, 1941, was
at 134, the highest peak since
1929.
Effects of Taxation
"With higher tax rates, the
savings of taxes on philanthropiic
contributions is increasingly large
and such savings will continue
to have a bearing on the size of
contributions that can be made
available. At the rate of taxation
increases, the readiness of the
government to share with the
contributor in helping maintain
essential social services also
rises. Due to the increased rates,
the net cost to the contributor
will continue to decline. On the
very lowest level of net taxable
income, the absorption for 1941
in tax deductions will be 9.6 per
cent.
"On the $5,000 level, the gov-
ernment's share is now 12.6 per
cent; on the $10,000 level it is
20.6 per cent; on the $30,000
level 51 per cent; on the $50,-
0001evel, 59 per cent. For all of
the added burdens due to in-
creased taxes, the government is
saying, in effect, that it wishes to
encourage philanthropic giving.
At a cost to himself of $796, a
person with a net taxable in-
come of $10,000 can contribute
$1,000, while an individual with
a $50,000 net taxable income
can contribute each $1,000 at a
cost of only $410 to himself. For
a campaign to raise $10,000
from any number of persons
with net incomes of $3,000 each
would call for such contributors
to give a total of $9,040 of their
money to the campaign, while
the giver with the $50,000 net
taxable income could serve the
Strums Tragedy Deplored
Members of the House de-
plored the Struma tragedy and
cheered a suggestion that the
Palestine government's policy in
such matters be revised; but the
Undersecretary countered by
pleading ignorance of- the com-
plete facts in the case.
Miss Eleanor Rathbone, inde-
pendent, asked him whether he
would make a statement explain-
ing the reftlsal of the Palestine
authorities to permit the landing
of the 750 Jewish refugees who
were aboard the Struma when
campaign in the same way at a
cost of $4,100.
Consumer Purchasing
"Our entrance Into the war
will mean that the normal lux-
uries which people have bought
with excess income will be un-
available, and even when avail-
able, it will be considered un-
patriotic to acquire them. How-
ever sharply increased taxes will
affect the situation, they will
not be able to take up the slack
of enforced curtailment of pur-
chases of consumer luxury
goods. If the gross income in
the middle class and upper in-
come brackets continues high,
greater sums will therefore re-
main available for contributions.
Giving Reserve and Potentials
"Consideration will have to be
given to the contributing poten-
tial of men in industries engaged
in the manufacture of non-essen-
tial products from the stand-
point of successful prosecution
of the war or in the manufac-
ture or distribution of consumer's
goods, the volume of which may
be limited, but their highly prof-
itable experience of 1941 must
not be forgotten in judging their
financial strength. Owners of
manufacturing plants, large and
small, who have fitted their pro-
gram into the war economy, will
continue, in spite of increased
taxes and other obligations, to
earn substantial profits to an ex-
tent campaigns will have a right
to look in such directions for in-
creased support. Many classes
in our Jewish population will be
rising with this tide of higher
general income for the country
at large and their campaign gifts
should reflect this improved con-
dition."

she sank and to tell why the
concession to admit children un-
der 16 had been so long delayed
that the authority to rescue
them had not reached Turkey at
least in time to save their lives.
Will you consider lessening the
likelihood of such tragedies by
making concessions regarding the
admission to Palestine of such
immigrants, whose maintenance
is guaranteed?" she queried.
MacMillan's reply was pre-
ceded by a further question from
Silverman, who wanted to know
the circumstances under which
the refugees had been refused
admission to Palestine even
though the current immigration
quota has 3,000 unallotted va-
cancies. "How long were the ne-
gotiations continued, how many
survived and what will be their
ultimate fact?" he asked.
"The Colonial Secretary is not
yet in possession of all the facts
of this tragic incident and under
the circumstances would ask per-
mission to defer his statement,"
the Parliamentary Secretary said.
"But," pursued Miss Rathbone,
"in view of the fact that similar
tragedies may arise, will you
press the Palestine Government
to show more mercy in these
matters?"
Her question was greeted with
cheers, which indicated the
strong feeling shared by many
Members on the matter. Mac-
Millan's rejoinder, however, was
merely that he would "bear in
mind what has been said in re-
gard to general policy."
