•The Jewish News is YOUR newspaper.
It is a medium for disseminating information of
interest to the Jewish community. News includes
many kinds of information—about people and what
they do—important events of personal or public na-
ture, human interest happenings, in fact, anything
that you or your neighbor would be interested in
reading. We want YOUR newspaper to be an inti-
mate recording of the life of our community. You
can help us to make it that, by sending items of infor-
mation to the editor.
The Jewish News is well supplied with national
and international news from the world's outstanding
syndicate services, and you can do an important part
in helping to make YOUR NEWSPAPER a success
from a community angle.
Just one caution—the editor of The Jewish News
insists on accuracy. Please verify your facts before
sending them in, give all the facts, and if you don't
use a typewriter, please PRINT NAMES. In this
way we can avoid embarrassing mistakes.

Air raid drills are being conducted in all branches of the
Schools. In each school there are several teachers who volunteered
as air raid wardens.

All teachers of the United Hebrew Schools joined a first aid
class. North End Clinic provided an accredited doctor who is
conducting this class.

The Jewish News is printed on newsprint paper.
The publishers desire to take this means of explain-
ing to our large reading public that this was necessitated
by war measures which make available for newspapers
of substantial circulation only a certain type of newsprint
stock.
It is our earnest intention to make constant improve-
ments in our mechanical set-up. Our readers will notice
that we already have improved on the type face used in
the first issue, that we have made certain changes in the
mechanical make-up of the paper, in the selection of type
for the headlines as well as in the newsprint stock on
which the paper is printed.
We propose to continue to make improvements.
Our plan is to make changes fro mweek to week
until we shall have attained standards that will be ac-
ceptable in the community.
We shall always search for the best available ma-
terial, under existing conditions, so that the Jewish com-
munity of Detroit may attain the goal of possessing the
most ideal community organ, under community sponsored
auspices.

Mr. Bressler At Work In His Home

Harry Bressler of Teaneck, N. J.,
Whose editorial cartoons become a
weekly feature in The Jewish News
starting this week, has a newspaper
career which dates back to his 11th
year when he entered the rough
and tumble business of peddling
papers on the sidewalks of New
York.
Today those hard-earned lessons
Si getting down to business at hand
with a minimum amount of fuss
have Made him one of the nation's

•

foremost editorial pictorialists. His
work, already well known in the
Middle West, proves conclusively
that the cartoon has a definite
place in the interpretation of the
serious news of the day.
An early ambition to become a
magazine illustrator sent Bressler
to the National Academy of design,
money for the course coming from
his ten-hour-a-day job as a one-
man art department for a small
New Ycrk advertising concern. Later

he studied under the late William
DeLeftwich Dodge at the Art Stu-
dents League.
No matter what the subject, his
drawings are always interesting. He
uses pictures as others use words.
He sees life wisely, vibrantly, cheer-
fully and is never guilty of insin-
cerity, timidity or ill-temper. Be-
neath this fountain of merriment
lies a penetrating judgment.
