seen action previous to the date
of Pfc. Kass' death. He had, in
fact, written home on stationery
taken from captured German
r: ;sorters.
Thomas had entered service on
March 26, 1943, and had left
this ccun,ry June 23, 1944, the
same day on which his younger
brother, Herman Leo, left to en-
ter the armed forces. • Pvt. Her-
man is now stationed at Camp
Blanding., Fla. The two boys are
the only children of Mr. and Mrs.
Kass.
Pfc. Thomas was 23 years old
and had been a Wayne Univers-

graduate of Northern High
School.
He had left this country on
June 23 for a ship bound for
England, from which country he
was sent to France. His death
occurred five weeks after he

ferocity of the Germans, but em-
phasized how their cowardice as-
serted itself when they were
pushed back from their prepared
positions.

CANADIAN LEADER TO ADDRESS
DETROIT ZIONIST ORGANIZATION
Herbert A. Mowat, executive
secretary of the Canadian Pales-
tine Committee, an organization
of Canadian Christians working
for the establishment of a Jew-
ish commonwealth in Palestine,
will address the Zionist Organi-
zation of Detroit at its meeting
in the Social Hall of Congrega-
tion Shaarey Zedek Monday
night, Oct. 30, at 8 o'clock. The
public is invited, and members
of the organization have been
asked to invite Christian as well
as Jewish friends to hear the
eminent Christian friend of the
Jewish people.
Mr. Mowat has twice headed
delegations of Canadian Chris-
thins to present briefs in behalf
of a Jewish commonwealth in
Palestine to the Prime Minister
of Canada, and to the Depart-
ment of External Affairs. He is
an outstanding writer, contrib-
uting regularly to "Toronto Sat-
urday Night," "Magazine Digest"
and "Empire Digest," and is
heard frequently over the Do-
minion Network of the C.B.C.
Ile is about to publish a book on
the life and military career of
Field Marshal Wavell, Viceroy
of India. Mr. Mowat conies of
an outstanding Canadian family
reaching back to colonial times.
Ile served in France in World
War I with the 8th Canadian In-
fantry Battalion, known as the
"Little Black Devils," and was
wounded in action just before
the Armistice. For three years he
has been Dominion General Sec-
'vary of the Brotherhood of St.
A ndrew.
Rabbi Leon Frani, president
of the Zionist Organization of
Detroit, will preside over the
meeting. After Mr. Mowat's ad-
dress the audience will be given
the opportunity for discussion
and the asking of questions.
It will be a matter of especial
interest to Detroit Jews to hear
an expression of Zionism from
the lips of a Christian who is so
closely associated with the inter-
ests of the British Empire.
Were I not ready to suffer ad-
versity with may husband as well
as to enjoy happiness with him,
I should be no true wife.
