were recited • in all churches in
England on the first Sunday of
the New Year at the suggestion
of the Archbishop of Canterbury,
head of the Anglican Church in
Britain, and J. S. Whale, Mod-
erator of the Free Churches.
The two church leaders issued
a statement expressing "bitter
grief that our nation can do so
little to help" the unfortunate
Jews, and declaring that "short
of victory there is no way in
which we can effect anything
comparable to the need and the
massacre which go on from day
to day. We should be united in
constant prayer to the Almighty
that this monstrous evil may be
checked and the Jews delivered
from their tormentors."
Writing in the London Daily
Herald, Harold Laski appealed to
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill for "a policy
of action which will light the
flame of hope in those Jewish
hearts which now see no future
save the choice between the mer-
cy of a swift death and torture
which brings release more slowly."
Mr. Laski explained that he
asked for action "on the ground
that a nation which does not
act against the commission of
monstrous wrong becomes an ac-
complice in its infliction. After
all, that is the outstanding lesson
of the policy of appeasement."
Earlier, the Bishop of Chi-
chester proposed that the British
government, through a neutral
power, approach Germany with
a plan to rescue as many Jews,
especially women and children,
as possible. The Bishop stressed:
"Our only answer to the tragic
cries of the Jews is steps to be
taken now, before it is too late
to effect their deliverance."

The official Sunday morning
session will open with a report
from the committee on Civic-
Protective Organizations. The
1942 assembly adopted a resolu-
tion calling for unification of the
programs of the four major na-
tional defense agencies. At a
meeting of the council's board
the next day, a committee was
appointed and has worked on the
project continuously during the
year. Following a series of con-
ferences, with the defense agen-
cies, the Council's Committee, at
the direction of the board, sub-
mitted to the civic-protective
groups a comprehensive plan
looking towards the creation of
a central operating body for de-
fense work in the United States.
The committee met on Jan. 6 to
review the status of its proposal
and to prepare a report for sub-
mission to the membership at
the assembly.

Introduces a New
Margarine (Keyko)
Bnai Moshe Sisterhood
Pay-up Luncheon Jan. 11
Shedd Products Company, of
14401 Dexter Blvd., is introduc-
ing a new margarine product. At
this time the public is anxious
to know what margarine is. For
the information of the public the
Shedd Products Company answers
the question. What he margarine?
It is an energy food with a
flavor which makes it desirable
for table purposes, seasoning and
shortening. It supplies fuel you
need for work or play.
It is made of selected, whole-
some oils and fats, such as cot-
tonseed oil, soybean oil, corn oil,
peanut oil One or more of these,
blended according to individual
formula, is combined with pure,
pasteurized skim milk and salted
to taste.
Keyko is free from all animal
fats.
Margarine is made of a blend
of hydrogenated and unhydro-
genated oils, combined with pas-
teurized skim milk which has
been ripened to develop a palat-
able flavor. The mixture is churn-
ed or worked in various ways to
develop a smooth, even texture,
then automatically packaged.
Every process is under rigid san-
itary control.
By adding 9000 U.S.P. units
of vitamin A per pound, marga-
rine becomes a "protective food,"
a dependable source of this im-
portant food essential.
Margarine is 80% fat and pro-
vides about 3300 calories per
pound.
It is 97 per cent digestible.
Shedd Products Company is the
only margarine manufacturer li-
censed in the state of Michigan,
which means that all dealers re-
ceive their merchandise fresh
daily.

There is a mistaken belief that
Gabriel is described in the Bible
as the angel of death, who would
announce the day of final judg-
ment with a trumpet or horn.
This story, as we now know it,
is probably a combination of sev-
eral Biblical concepts handed
down through tradition.
By the way, I nicknamed my
kid brother Gabriel — because
he's always horning into some-
thing.

Resolution
for 1943:
BUY MORE AND
4, MORE WAR BONDS
Our fighting men all over the globe are giving
everything they have to
protect us and our freedoms. Surely we at home can do our part by putting
every possible dollar into War Bonds. For War Bonds give our men the
weapons and equipment to fight America's enemies—and War Bonds aid
our country's economy by helping pay for the war while we are fighting it!
