Club 1, Pioneer Women,
First. Meeting of Season

. Club One of the Pioneer Wom-
en's Organization has begun w9•k
for the 13th annual donor lurfch-
eon which is to be held Jan. 18
at the Masonic Temple.
Committee reports highlighted
the opening meeting of the cur-
rent season during which mem-
bers discussed proposed plans for
the 1943-44 season and reviewed
already completed activities.
Sophie Sislin, chairman of the
work for the child rescue fund of
Club One, reports that the com-
mittee is continuing a strenuous
and successful year's activity.
In the past year, close to $1,000
was raised from tree sales and
box collections by the members
for the Jewish National Fund.
In addition to their other activi-
ties, the members are concerned
with enrolling Jewish women who
are interested in a program of
Zionist activity.
Club One meets at 1912 Taylor
Ave. every Monday night. Women
who are interested in working in
a cause so important to all Jews
now are urged to attend Club
One's meetings.

LONDON. (WNS) — The last
remaining Jews in France are be-
ing rounded up by the Germans
for deportation to death camps
in Poland, according to a dispatch
received here this week from
Stockholm.
Although the exact number of
Jews carried off for extermina-
tion has not been ascertained, it
is believed here that during the
early days of September alone
thousands had been transported
to Poland in cattle trains. The
Nazis ift France are known to
have boasted that France is prac-
tically "a country without Jews".

Simultaneously, reports reach-

may bring every citizen peace, happiness and pros-
