CHILDREN'S
CORNER
To My Young Readers:
For the fourth time, I want to chat with you, to tell
you a story, to quote from the rich storehouse of Jewish
learning.
These are such sad days for all peoples—and espe-
cially for the Jewish people. The world is at war, and just
because a beast and his followers desire to destroy human
values and to enslave mankind, the entire world must
suffer.
But the world is determined to win the battle for free-
dom, and we must all join in the fight to win the war. We
must buy Defense Stamps and Defense Bonds. We must
encourag,?. our :Joys who are eniisting in Uncle Sam's
armed forces, we must work for causes which provide re-
lief for the needy.
And what is most important, we must not lose faith
and we must have courage. That is why we must not give
up the elementary things in life. We must not sacrifice
the great things for which human beings stand. As Jews,
we must not abandon the heritage that is ours and we
must continue to observe the important principles which
make up our great code of ethics.
Therefore, let us continue to study, to learn from our
elders, to keep alive the Jewish spirit.
Some of you have already written to me. I shall ex-
pect to hear from more of you. Sohn, we will start reading
your own writings in this column. Remember—I shall al-
ways be happy to hear from you.

"Outlaws" Now
Basket Champs
Outlaws edged out the Dubon-
nets, 28-27, last Sunday, to win the
Senior Division championship of the
Jewish Center Basketball league.
At the opening whistle it was
evident that the game would be
hard fought and close all the way.
After Robinson of the Dubonnets
started the scoring with a basket
from out the floor, Litt sank two in
succession to put the Outlaws in
front. The first quarter ended, 8-5.

in a free throw, putting the Out-

SIMON FIGHTS BAER
By MORRIS WEINER
(Copyright, 1942, J. T. AO
Two of the foremoSt gentlemen
of the ring *ill trade blows on May
20 in Griffith Stadium, Washing-
ton, D. C., when they square off
in a battle for the benefit of the
Navy Relief Society. The two gladi-
ators of the resined arena are no
strangers to the fight fans of
America and , certainly no "new-
comers" to the readers of this col-
umn. Both men—they are the num-
ber two and three contenders in the
heavyweight division—have fought
Champion Joe Louis for his heavy-
weight title twice in the last
twelfthmonth, and though each of
these two myridons of mayhem has
been scrapping in the lists for over
five years, they have never met-
pugilistically speaking. .
The gentlemen in question are
the biggest things ever to step into
the roped-off canvas square since
the Marquis of Queen.sbury laid
down the laws for conduct during
a prize fight. And so, Ladles and
Gentlemen, we give you—Abe Si-
mon, that gargantuan Goliath who
stands six feet five inches and who
weighs 260 pounds when in fighting
fettle. His playmate, a little tyke
of six foot four and a chappie who
weighs 245 pounds, is the battling
behemoth from Livermore, Calif.—
(a town made famous by his broth-
er, Maxie, who once held the
heavyweight title himself).

the proceeds will be turned over• to
the society that- takes care of the
men in blue—the Navy. Thus, from
any angle, the fight should be a
honey and the cause is more than
worthy.
As for the problem of donating an
entire purse—that's crazy — pure,
plain and simple. Neither Simon or
Baer are in the upper income brack-
ets as a result of their purses garn-
ered in the ring. The largest purses
they have ever won have been col-
lected as a result of their fights
with Louis. And, mind you, they
have donated a goodly part of this
to charity even before they have
collected and begun paying off
managers, handlers and training
camp expenses. What these two
boys have made during the last few
years in the ring will have to last
them a lifetime. They are just not
in Joe Louis' class—the class that
has dozens of annuities, trust funds
and bank account in storage for
the lean years ahead. Furthermore,
Louis would have income tax trou-
ble if he banked all his dough dur-
ing any one year. We are not de-
crying from his superb gesture in
fighting for the Service Charities—
one should look not a gift horse in
the mouth—but the fact does re-

some publicity man in the Navy
Department. This is a reality of the
ring—(albeit there are some who
will say—"What? Those two guys
together? Good gosh, it's a night-
mare!")
Don't however sell these two boys
short. Of course, the record will
show that both lads have been
kayoed by Champion Joe Louis on
four separate occasions within one
year. Notwithstanding, both boys
are good. Just remember, folks, some
17 other guys (and some of them
have been Class A heavyweights)
have fallen before the flailing fists
of the current champion. And, re-
member too; that both Simon and
Baer have compiled a pretty good
record between them in the years
they have been in the resined arena.

LONDON (Religious News Ser-

reported to have declared in a ser-
mon:
"We have already been deprived
of many things in these times. Now
we are also losing our familiar coins,
which are being replaced by new
ones. But something is missing
from these coins. Our guilders bore
the inscription 'God Be With Us';
on the new ones we find only pagan
symbols."
