The Ben Ha-Zmanim (mid-se-
mester period) in the United He-
brew schools is drawing to a close.
Parents who wish to enter their
children in any of the branches of
the school should do so without de-
lay. Registration of new pupils
means the opening of new classes
and perhaps the engagement of ad-
ditional teachers, and that can only
be done if parents enter their chil- -
dren at the time set for registration.

The schools are now organizing
new classes for beginners and are
providing for pupils who are ad-

Polish-Jewish Refugees in Jamaica
Seek Permanent Haven Elsewhere

LONDON, (JTA)—The 150 Polish-Jewish refu-
gees who were admitted to the British West Indian
island of Jamaica two months ago, this week ap-
pealed to Jewish groups here to facilitate their emi-
gration to permanent settlements abroad.
In a cable to Dr. Ignacy Schwartzbart, Jewish
member of the Polish National Council, the refugees
reported that the Jamaica authorities do not consider
them immigrants but evacuees for the duration of the
war, and consequently they are not allowed to engage
in any kind of work and are housed in a special camp.
They are not allowed to move freely outside the camp
after 10 P.M. Several cases of fever have broken out
among the refugees, the cable also reported.
